Golden drum cave

Golden drum cave

The golden drum cave is located on the Qixia mountain at the back of the Wangmiao temple. The ancients said: "golden drum cave, there is the sound of dripping water in the cave. It's like beating a golden drum and making a sound, so it gets its name. " The golden drum cave is located on Qixia mountain. There are many trees and bamboos in the mountain. The cool wind blows on the mountain, and birds and warblers sing all the way.

From the Yuanzi square in front of Huanglong cave, you can walk up the mountain on your right hand for about ten minutes. You can follow the climbing stone steps in the bamboo forest to the golden drum cave, golden drum spring and silver drum cave.

The mountain road is a little steep, but when you get to the golden drum cave, you will feel suddenly enlightened. According to the record in volume 9 of Tian Rucheng's wish to visit the West Lake in the Ming Dynasty, "in the past, when people cut down stones, they heard that the golden drum stopped." There is a stone spring culvert at the entrance, which is unpredictable. It seems that the name of the cave comes from this story. The front of Jingu cave is very open, like a small natural square, with one side open and three facing cliffs. The cave is under the cliff, very spacious. There are still incense in the cave, and it seems that there are still people looking after it. On one side of the cave is the golden drum spring. So far, the water is clear and sweet, which can be drunk.

However, as the brother of Jingu cave, Yingu cave is quite different. It's too small to be cared for. It's better to climb from Jingu cave to see the beautiful scenery of the mountain and Qixia mountain.

Qixialing mountain is not high and adjacent to the West Lake, so it has become a favorite place for people to take a walk and enjoy the scenery. Especially in summer, people walk in the forest in the mountains and enjoy themselves. There are many caves to enjoy the cool.
