Jiulong Mountain White Cloud Cave

Jiulong Mountain White Cloud Cave is located in Zhulin Village, Dongqiao Town, Xiuyu District. Its main peak stands at an elevation of 79 meters. To the north, ridges extending from nearby Dahanshan Mountain culminate here in nine small hills rising in succession, resembling a coiled dragon — hence the name Jiulong (Nine Dragons) Mountain. The White Cloud Cave enjoys a serene environment, fresh air, and refreshing breezes, making it an ideal place for tourism and summer retreat.

Jiulong Mountain White Cloud Cave features three major Song Dynasty structures — Pujitemple, the Lin Clan Ancestral Hall (Zhuiyuan Ancestral Hall), and the Lin Clan Grand Tomb — all situated on the southern foothills of Jiulong Mountain. The mountain is also home to more than ten palace-style buildings adorned with upturned eaves, including the White Cloud Cave, Zhaoming Hall, Zhaoling Palace, Wencheng Hall, Qiari Pavilion, Kunyue Pavilion, and the Mahavira Hall. These structures enshrine deities and patriarchs from Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, as well as figures such as Mazu and Zhuo Zhenren, forming a grand religious complex that harmoniously blends the Three Teachings. Viewed from afar, the halls, palaces, caves, and pavilions are built along the mountain slopes in a well-arranged and imposing layout. Jiulong Mountain White Cloud Cave is now a county-level cultural relics protection unit.
