The cave is tens of meters high and wide, which can hold thousands of people; or the narrow road is pressing, which needs to be sideways to pass. A small river comes and goes into a black stone cave. The echo in the cave is like ten thousand horses galloping. In addition, there are stalagmites and stalagmites in a forest, colorful dolomites in a well arranged way, and countless wonderful natural patterns. In recent years, people have built many artificial landscapes, such as the plain clothes Guanyin, the reclining Buddha group and so on, which adds the religious mystery to the Great Buddha cave.
