Qinglong Mountain Tianhua Cave is a cultural relic protection unit of Ningwu County.

Qinglong Mountain Tianhua Cave is located on Qinglong Mountain (commonly known as Yang? Mountain), west of Shijiazhuang Village, Shijiazhuang Town, Ningwu County. It faces west. The cave covers an area of about 25 square meters. According to inscriptions, it was built during the Ming Dynasty and renovated in the 20th year of the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty (1840). The existing structure dates back to the Ming Dynasty. The cave is built into a cliff approximately 500 meters above the ground and about 20 meters from the mountain top. The cave entrance is 2 meters high and 2 meters wide. The interior has a square floor plan, measuring 5.15 meters in both width and depth, and 3.6 meters in height. Buddhist altars are set along the three walls, but the Buddha statues are no longer present. The ceiling features painted caisson ceilings with Bagua (Eight Trigrams) patterns, and several small seated Buddha statues around the edges, which have been damaged and are now blurred. In 1985, the People's Government of Ningwu County designated it as a county-level cultural relic protection unit. (From "A Collection of Cultural Relics in Xinzhou")
