Guigang Longyan Cave

　　Longyan Cave is situated on the mountainside of Longyan Mountain, southwest of Daxu Town, about 25 kilometers east of Guigang City. Visitors hike up the zigzag stone steps, and upon reaching the 111th step, they arrive at the cave entrance. The cave’s mouth stands about 4 meters high, and above it is an inscription carved during the Ming Dynasty’s Wanli era, reading “Longyan Cave,” authored by Li Tao. Inside the cave is a vast, airy, and bright space filled with many spectacular sights. Longyan Mountain also features eight caves and eight scenic spots. The eight caves include the largest one, Long’an Cave, as well as Tianyan (Heaven Cave), Diyuan (Earth Cave), Shisan Taizi Yan (Thirteen Princes Cave), Zhougong Yan (Duke of Zhou Cave), Chengtuo Yan (Steelyard Cave), Sanliu Yan (Thirty-Six Cave), and Jiyi Yan (Chicken Wing Cave). The eight scenic spots are: Recumbent Dragon, Flying Tiger, Sunlit Reflection, Cinnabar Furnace, Stone Chime, Stone Ape, Hanging Fish, and the Scripture Listener. Each cave is unique, with picturesque beauty that never tires the eye. It is a county-level key cultural relics protection unit.
