Chaoyang cave

Chaoyang cave

Chaoyang cave is located in the southwest of Longquan Temple, Haidian District, Beijing, China. It passes through baimangling (commonly known as damenkan) from the back of pilipu mountain. It winds westward along the snake shaped path of jiunvtuo, that is to say, there was a temple in Chaoyang cave, but the temple site and stone steps are still there.

Main attractions

During the summer rainstorm season, the mountain torrents from xiaobaitahou pass through the gentle Valley on the east side of Chaoyang cave and flow southward to a place 150 meters away. There is a round natural bathing pool as white as jade, with a depth of more than meters and a diameter of less than two meters at the top. The people call "nine women's tanks". The mountain torrents spiral out of the nine women's tanks, and the natural channels formed by years of weathering and rain erosion pour down, boosting the fire and gathering in the mountain There is another pool in the concave, which leaps out and falls suddenly. If it explodes, it will break the dam. Sometimes the mountain torrents are violent, like the Yellow Dragon leaping up, which is like "flying down 3000 feet, it is suspected that the Milky way has fallen nine days.". "Local people call" white water.

There is a "Bangchui mountain" to the West and north of Chaoyang cave, and the Huangpu courtyard is about two miles below it.

Historical legend

It is said that the nine Fairies in the sky can't bear the loneliness of the heavenly palace. They come here by cloud and fog. When they see a pool of clear water, they take off their fairy clothes and jump into the pool to have fun. There is a sacred cow peak in the south of the five ridges. There is a cave in the middle of the mountain. People call it "Niulang cave". A cowherd is dozing in it. The sacred cow wakes him up and tells him to run to the nine women's vats and report a fairy dress. The weaver girl can't fly to heaven, so she gets married with him.
