If you're visiting Shaoxing, don't miss the mysterious Xiantao Cave!

👋, today I'm going to introduce you to Xiantao Cave in Shaoxing 😎 📍Location: Xiantao Cave is located in Niomen Mountain, Gaobu Street, Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, Shaoxing East Lake Scenic Area (southeast corner). 💡Origin of the name: There are two theories about the origin of the name Xiantao Cave. One is that the cave entrance on the cliff looks like a fairy peach; the other is that it is said that the Queen Mother once planted a fairy peach tree here. In order to prevent the fairy peach from being stolen, she sent a heavenly general to guard it. The heavenly general's chair is hollowed out above the stone gate, so it is named "Xiantao Cave". Tao Junxuan, a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty, also wrote a couplet on both sides of the cave door, with the first line being "The cave is 500 feet deep and the bottom is not visible", and the second line being "The peach blossoms once every three thousand years". 🎯Featured landscape: There is a lake in the cave, and there is a door in the cave, which is a prominent feature of Xiantao Cave. This was originally a green stone mountain. After thousands of years of mining, it has formed unique cliffs and deep caves. The lake water surrounds it. When you take a awning boat slowly into the cave, it seems to have entered a wonderful world. You can truly feel the wonder of "the cave is in the mountain, and the lake is in the cave". 🕙Opening hours: 08:00 - 17:00 (specific opening hours may be adjusted according to the arrangement of the scenic spot). 💰Tickets: No need to buy tickets separately, included in the East Lake Scenic Area ticket or Shaoxing Ancient City ticket. If you're visiting Shaoxing, don't miss the mysterious and unique Xiantao Cave, come and feel the magic of nature and the historical and cultural heritage of Shaoxing 😜
