brief introduction

The cave is divided into three layers, also known as "three caves", namely "the first cave", "the second cave" and "the third cave".

There are holes in the cave, holes on the cave, and holes under the cave. The caves are connected and overlapped. There are channels between each layer of the cave, and each hole is connected with the outside world. It can accommodate thousands of people. The grotesque rocks in the cave are uneven, and the grotesque rocks are so beautiful.

About historical events

After the Sino French war, Su Yuanchun, a famous general in the late Qing Dynasty, took Dalian City as the command center of Guangxi, and Baiyu cave was his office and summer resort. Inside, there is a place to nourish the mind and a reception room. His inscriptions are engraved everywhere in the cave, among which the more famous ones are "another Penglai", "bright moon and half talent", etc.

At the bottom of Baiyu cave is the conference hall, where Su Yuanchun held military meetings. On the left side is a long wooden door with the inscription "Yin Fen Bei pole". When you enter from the right door, there is a cool wind. There are one stone lion and one stone elephant in the door, and the inscription "Yin Fen Bei pole" is on the top of the cave It is said that an immortal comes from riding an elephant. From the left of the first cave to the secluded Road, winding up is the second cave. The top of the cave is 18 meters high. The wall of the cave is like a waterfall hanging melon, and the upper end is like an attic corridor. A large square smooth stone surface, about 12 square meters, was chiseled out from the cliff in the south. It was originally intended to be the memorial tablet of Su Yuanchun. Unfortunately, it did not reach the time to carve characters. It is still a stele without characters. Facing the outer entrance of the second floor, the word "jade cave" is carved on the forehead, which is more than two feet high. 1、 There are more than ten poems inside and outside the cave, most of which praise the beautiful scenery of Baiyu cave and Su Yuanchun's achievements.

Characteristics of the cave

From the entrance of the second floor, we pass through an ingenious corridor called "Lingming" and enter the third floor "Penglai fairyland". More than ten steps to the left, there are two large and small openings. Big hole down to the second floor hole. From the small entrance of the cave to the "cloud Pavilion" (that is, the place of nourishing the heart), there are Laixian Pavilion, guanri tower, library Pavilion, etc. outside the cave, which stand near the platform. From the big hole on the left, slow down along the steps and enter the second layer of inner cave, namely Huashen cave. On the left side of the stone steps, the character "tiger" is carved on the cliff. The head is raised and the tail is raised like a tiger. On the opposite wall, the word "cloud rises from the foot". The inner cave is high and deep. The front part of the cave is bright and gradually dark. It needs to be illuminated by candlelight. The high platform at the end of the journey is 80 meters deep and can hold thousands of people. Grotesque rocks and bell breasts are everywhere in the cave. There are many shapes of rock liquid, such as inverted lotus petals, Yaotai pearls, waterfall, flowing spring, human standing and animal lying. In the rainy season, the water drips from the top of the platform, and it is supported by the lower workover well. The wall of the well glitters like stars, so it is called "Tianxing well" (destroyed). On the night of clear wind and bright moon, Su Gong once lingered here. He looked up at the night sky and felt poetic. He wrote a beautiful sentence: "bright moon and half talent". Unexpectedly, he later became the "evidence" of Cen Chunxuan's participation in the imperial court's "desire to share half of the world with the emperor" and was exiled to Xinjiang. Later, he died of illness in a foreign land. It's a pity.
