Xisa Guanyin Cave

Xisha Guanyin Cave

Guanyin Cave is located in the forest on the mountainside of Guanyin Cliff, about 1.5 kilometers southeast of Xisha Town. It is a natural stone cave. In the sixth year of the Guangxu reign during the Qing Dynasty, three rooms were built at the cave entrance. Later, residents repeatedly raised funds to expand it, adding halls and pavilions. The cave is approximately 10 meters wide and over 20 meters high. Stalactites hang from the ceiling, and the cave walls are covered with clay statues molded according to the natural contours, heights, and widths—some lying down, some standing, some sitting, some with fierce expressions, others gentle and refined—each with its own unique expression. It is one of the local tourist destinations.
