Bailian cave, also known as liyuzui, is located in the north of jidaguan village in Zhuhai. It is a valley at the southern foot of the barrier mountain. It is named after "there were monks hiding here in ancient times and planting Bailian everywhere". It was built in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
During the reign of Daoguang, Bao Jun, a scholar in Zhuhai, was frustrated in his official career and converted to Buddhism. He came to Guanyinyan to feel the scene and feel the emotion. He wrote a poem: "let go of the Dharma and get the Zen grace, wash the dust heart and get the root of Taoism. If you want to ask the mountain monk about the past, Yanji ape goes to the empty Mountain Gate." Monks asked him to inscribe on the wall: "Dashi Pavilion" three words, in order to show kaolin laugh at the world. During the Xianfeng Period, ye Xianzhao, a scholar of Jida in Zhuhai, also engraved the word "Xixin" on the wall to persuade people to think about the past and ask for the good. Later generations also built a "Huatuo hall" and a "Kangshou Pavilion" on the mountain, hoping to eliminate the evil spirits and eliminate the disaster. The large-scale construction of Bailian cave was carried out by the overseas Chinese in Vietnam and the gentry and businessmen from all walks of life in Jida Township in 1936. At that time, the Bailian cave was rebuilt, stone bridges, pavilions, hotels, restaurants, baths, etc. were added, and a large number of flowers and trees were planted to make it look better. From then on, tourists gathered and Bailian cave became a famous spot in Zhuhai.
