Baiyun cave in Kongshan mountain was discovered on July 18, 1988 by local farmers when they were quarrying. It is said that the origin of "Kongshan" is because when the mountain wind strikes, the whole mountain will emit bursts of roar, so the local people call this mountain "empty mountain", and this cave is known as "underground lava Museum" by experts. The people's Government of Lincheng County attached great importance to this and immediately set up a leading group for the protection and development of Baiyun cave in Kongshan and took measures to seal the cave. After investigation and argumentation by experts and scholars from China University of Geosciences, No.11 brigade of the Ministry of Geology and mineral resources, Institute of geography, Hebei Academy of Sciences and other relevant units, the tourism development plan of Baiyun cave in Kongshan mountain was formulated.
