Longyan cave in Western Quanzhou County

Longyan cave is located in dongguayuan, the Yuechengling branch of Quanzhou County, Guangxi Province. It is 5km away from Quanzhou County. It was one of the eight ancient sights in the city. There is a huge round stone in Longyan cave, which is pounded by the middle stream. It is flushed by the spring and makes a loud sound. The rock wall reverberates like the sound of a dragon mill, so it is called Longyan. During the Anti Japanese War, Du Yuming, commander of the Fifth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, widened and filled the cave and built an arsenal.
