Guanyin Cave at Xiandao Lake
Guanyin Cave is situated on the lakeshore of Nanshan by Xiandao Lake, facing the dam across the river. The cave is composed of water-stained stalactites and formed about 15,000 years ago. It is a small and shallow cave that once housed a natural stone statue of Guanyin. Unfortunately, it was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Later, people recreated a statue of Guanyin, and to the right outside the cave, another statue of Buddha was erected side by side, as if contemplating the fickleness and impermanence of life. Interestingly, droplets of water resembling milk occasionally drip from within the cave.
