Main attractions

The ancient Buddha cave is named after the stalagmites and stalactites in the cave, which are shaped like immortals and Buddhas. The Buddha statues were set up in the cave by predecessors, and a Buddhist temple was built at the cave entrance. According to the twelfth volume of Lechang county annals, "the cave of ancient Buddha is fifteen miles southwest of the county. The stone chamber is only a few feet long, and Pingzheng can attend more than ten seats. There is a small hole in the back of the room, about 100 steps deep. Before the winding stream, murmur can hear. Old Zhiyun: Yakou ancient temple, Ying yuan collapsed, the site of the monument remains. Today, there are a few houses in Yakou, which are not like the stone in the West. We can't find the remnant stele. " The ancient Buddha cave is a large limestone cave with three layers, the highest part is 30 meters, and the total area is more than 12000 square meters. The scenic area in the cave is mainly divided into seven palaces, including the ancient Buddha Hall, Guanyin hall, Wangmu hall, Yuhuang palace, Xiyou palace, Xiaoyao palace and Jinlong palace. The whole process is 570 meters. All kinds of stalagmites, stone flowers, stone pillars, stone curtains, or inserted in it, or hanging on it, the color spot, the scene is diverse, magnificent. The most wonderful thing is that many stalactites are shaped like immortals and Buddhists, with different shapes and spirits. Once enlightened, they are ready to come out. There are also Coral fossils from the bottom of the sea 300 million years ago and rare large stone brains in the ancient Buddha cave, which are rare and unique.

The first scene at the entrance of the cave is the ancient Buddha Hall. In the unique Buddha Hall composed of stone curtain and stalactite, three small stalagmites are staggered, just like three Buddha statues. Their appearance is solemn and serene, and the hall is full of Buddha light, which makes people solemn. Ten meters away from the Buddha statue, there is a stone pillar, such as a huge ancient banyan, standing tall and luxuriant, known as "ancient banyan Emerald". Under the ancient banyan, there are three or five groups of "shepherd boys" leading the "cattle" and returning with joy. Next to the ancient banyan, there is a secluded cave. The big cave overlaps the small one, which adds a layer of mystery to the wonderful scenery.

Through the Stone Lane winding path, you will arrive at Guanyin hall. I saw a white stalagmite, such as a blooming lotus, in which sat the "Guanyin" Bodhisattva with low eyes. The stalagmite next to Guanyin looks like a baby girl. Around countless small milk stone, like a group of immortals come to worship. One of them is as white as the golden star. All these images vividly constitute a realm of "Zizhu pine forest". On the opposite side of Guanyin hall is the strange landscape of Penglai Fairy Island. Penglai is the legendary fairy mountain on the sea. The scenery here is vast, the sky is clear, the distant sea city is dimly visible, and the red arched place is like a city gate, in which all kinds of buildings are scattered, and there are many scenes.

From Guanyin hall, you can enter the Queen Mother hall. Here is a lively scene of a peach fair. Overhead a round stone curtain, hanging high in the air, like a snow-white tent. Not far away, there are "Fairy", "crane", "Fairy" and "fairy boy" playing. Behind them lay plates of flat peaches. After eating them, a "stubborn monkey" hid in the shade of a tree and fell asleep.

Zuixian cave is about 50 meters northeast of the ancient Buddha cave. The two caves are adjacent to each other, which is a newly developed giant cave landscape. Zuixian cave is about 700 meters long, with big holes covering small holes and connecting with each other. There is an underground river, the water gurgling, throughout the whole, do not have a scene.
