Xinning Jade Maiden Cave

　　Jade Maiden Cave is situated in Shuimiao Town, Xinning County, 15 kilometers from the county seat. It is a newly emerged gem in the Langshan Scenic Area. It is famed for its green mountains, mysterious caves, unique rocks, divine aura, and flourishing lotus flowers.

　　 The scenic area is embraced by rolling mountains, with verdant bamboo forests, clear and pristine surroundings. Majestic waterfalls hang high, and mountain springs murmur softly. A towering Buddhist temple stands with solemn statues, enveloped in incense smoke and resonating Buddhist chants. Devotees come in an endless stream. The liberation pond shimmers with ripples, where colorful fish swim gracefully, while the lotus pond is lush and fragrant. Jade Maiden Cave itself is even more mysterious and deep, with winding passages currently only 2,800 meters developed. Inside the cave, stalagmites, stalactites, stone curtains, and stone flowers take on a myriad of forms, all naturally crafted as if by immortal hands. Statues such as the “Goddess of Mercy,” “Jade Emperor,” “Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea,” and “Tang Monk and His Disciples” appear solemn and sacred, vividly lifelike. Dynamic and exquisite formations like the “Golden Cat Leaping,” “Lion Seeking Treasure,” “Giant Shark Raising Its Head,” and “Divine Ox Playing in Water” are strikingly realistic. In the “Jade Maiden Lake,” underground river waters surge mightily, seemingly without source or end. By the lake sits a naturally formed “Jade Maiden” stone statue—adorned with a high bun, clad in gossamer, with a slender waist and full hips, graceful and charming. The cave derives its name from this figure.

　　The scenic area offers comprehensive tourism facilities, integrating dining, accommodation, entertainment, sightseeing, and shopping, making it an ideal destination for travel, leisure, and Buddhist pilgrimage.
