Tianlin Guanyin Cave

Tianlin Guanyin Cave

This cave is located northeast of Longche Village in Longche Township, about 2.5 kilometers from the village. The stone peaks are arranged in an arc, with sheer cliffs standing upright, displaying colors of blue and white. Trees grow sporadically in the crevices between the rocks. Beneath the central peak are two stone caves; the lower cave has two streams flowing into it from both sides. The upper cave houses a Guanyin Temple, hence the name Guanyin Cave. The temple was built during the Jiaqing era of the Qing Dynasty and was renovated in the early years of the Guangxu era. The buildings are half-hidden, and variously shaped stalactites can be found inside the cave. It was destroyed after the Liberation.
