Sanyuan Cave
Named for its three beautiful, magnificent, and steep adjacent cave entrances,
Legend has it that a Taoist hermit lived here during the Qing Dynasty's Daoguang era,
And later during the Guangxu era,
Began to build pavilions and towers.
Climbing up the stone steps from the foot of the mountain,
Through the mountain gate to the central pavilion,
There's a wide courtyard,
From the tower, you can see the mountains and plains,
With an unobstructed view.
Inside Sanyuan Cave, it's very cool,
A blessed land,
Divided into three levels,
The cave enshrines deities such as the Tathagata, Jade Emperor, Maitreya Buddha, Guan Gong, Shouxing Gong, Kuixing, Guanyin, etc.
Worshippers can only offer incense at the entrance of Sanyuan Cave,
Burning of incense paper inside the cave is prohibited.
If you want to worship the Buddha,
You need to bring your own incense.
At the entrance of the cave, there's a public virtue box,
Donation money 💰 is given according to one's wishes.
When climbing the mountain,
Be careful due to the steep slopes,
Along the way, there are many cliff carvings,
Cuifeng, Wenshan Daguang...
So, while climbing and enjoying the view of Wenshan,
It's very spectacular.
Rest in the pavilion when tired and eat,
The family happily shares the feelings and fun of climbing,
The atmosphere is very enjoyable.
Sanyuan Cave is very dangerous,
The air is fresh, the scenery is beautiful,
The vegetation is lush,
It's a holy place for tourists to escape the heat and sightsee.
