It is one of the ancient eight scenic spots of Jianshi County, located halfway up the mountain behind Chaoyang Temple on the outskirts of the county town. Legend has it that it was where Monk Yufeng refined immortal pills. The great Song Dynasty poet Huang Tingjian wrote: “Ancient woods rustle in the wind at the cave mouth. In days of old, people escaped their cages here. Moreover, there’s a trickle of water before the cliff—perfect to cleanse the dust from one’s heart and follow the hermit’s way.” On the left wall at the cave entrance, the three large characters “Awakening Lion Cave” are inscribed by Shi Ying, an elder statesman. The upper walls inside the cave are covered with poems and writings by literati throughout the ages, some of which can still be faintly seen.
