Sanxi Wuyuan Cave

　　Sanxi Wuyuan Cave is located in Muer Village, Sanxi Township, about 35 kilometers from the county town. The cave was originally called "Donkey Cave." Legend has it that there used to be a donkey that entered and exited the cave year-round, meeting a coiled dragon inside. The donkey would bring worldly joy to the dragon, while the dragon could take the donkey on heavenly outings. A greedy wizard and his apprentice tried to use the donkey-dragon to ascend to heaven. The master taught the apprentice to shout “Heavenly Master, lend your aid!” when the donkey-dragon emerged from the cave. But when the apprentice actually saw the ferocious-looking, blue-faced dragon, he screamed for help, causing the dragon to turn back into the cave—and it has remained there ever since.

　　The Wuyuan Cave stretches about two kilometers in length, with a small stream flowing inside all year round. It features a wide variety of stalactites and stalagmites, including the Buddha Stone, Guanyin Teaching Her Child, Pillar Holding Up the Sky, Eagle Spreading Its Wings, Stone Pagoda, as well as formations resembling human organs such as the liver, lungs, heart, and the Source of Life. Natural wonders may not look like much at first glance, but the more you look, the more they resemble familiar shapes. Enhance your imagination, reconnect with nature, and embrace the ultimate ideal.
