brief introduction

Longquan cave is located in Shuidong Town, Xuanzhou District, also known as yaotou cave. It is a limestone karst cave. As early as 700 years ago, a range rover came here. On the wall of the cave, Xu Shihong wrote a poem in 1259, the first year of Kaiqing in the Southern Song Dynasty, which said: "the layers of strange stones have lasted for thousands of years. There should be a dragon flying cloud change, a spring to man.

Located at the foot of Bishan, 4km east of the central town, Bishan Longquan cave is a famous scenic spot in southern Anhui, as well as the Taiji cave in Guangde. According to experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other departments, Longquan cave was formed about 3 million years ago and is a limestone cave. The cave is vast in scale, majestic in momentum, deep in twists and turns, and strange in rocks. It is like a masterpiece of art with unique ingenuity.

There are seven floors up and down, five places on the left and right, 20 halls and 100 caves, with a total area of more than 1000 square meters and 200-300 square meters. The cave covers an area of more than 12000 square meters, with a space of more than 80000 cubic meters. There are more than 200 natural landscapes. Stalagmites, stalagmites, stone pillars and stone caps are all over the cave. It's gorgeous and beautiful. The temperature in the cave is about 18 ℃ all the year round, fresh and pleasant.

Longquan cave has been a tourist attraction in history. Up to now, there are 28 inscriptions written by tourists in the past dynasties on the cave wall. Most of them have not been recognized because of their age. Among them, Xu Rongxuan's inscription on dongzhongyue Xiangshan in the first year of Kaiqing (1195) of the Southern Song Dynasty shows that as early as 800 years ago, tourists came here to enjoy the wonders of the cave. Xuancheng county annals of the Qing Dynasty also recorded Longquan cave. However, the Longquan cave was blocked in the middle of Qing Dynasty. It was not until the drought in 1978 that the peasants searched for water resources that it was rediscovered and excavated. After renovation, it was officially opened to the public on New Year's day in 1982. Today's Longquan cave, with undulating mountains, green trees and dingdong springs, has restaurants, tea houses, hotels and other tourist service facilities, winding corridors and uneven pavilions, which are hidden in the forest and bamboo trees; in the cave, there are steps, ladder and colored lights, which are colorful and extremely interesting, just like the Dragon Palace.
