Tangyue Cave

　　Tangyue Cave is situated approximately 10 kilometers west of Jishou City and is also called "Little Peach Blossom Cave." According to legend, during the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, Yang Dingyuan, a subordinate commander of Wu Bayue, led rebel forces into the cave to forge weapons, which led to it being called "Iron-Forging Cave." In the Miao language, “iron-forging” is called “Tangyue,” hence the cave’s name. Tangyue Cave consists of one main cave and several branch caves, spanning three levels with a total length of about 2,500 meters. The average height of the cave is around 10 meters, and there are three ventilation openings. The air inside the cave is fresh, and the karst formations are incredibly diverse. Major attractions include the Reception Hall, Drum-Beating Platform, Lion Resting Flat, Twin Peaks Slope, Azure Dragon Pool, Moon-Gazing Tower, Dragon-Connecting Bridge, Stone Flower Mountain, Stone Flower Stream, Ancient Stone Harp, and the ruins of the Miao uprising army’s iron workshop.
