The cave covers 80 thousand square meters and the traveling line can reach as far as 1,800 meters. Now it has been fully developed with more than 200 scenic spots have already been opened to tourists.

Aunt Tao Labyrinth has a long history and many writers and poets have been there since Han and Tang Dynasties. Su Shi and Yue Fei left writings on the carved stones here. When Zhu Yuanzhang of Ming Dynasty settled down in Guangde, he called it “the attractive armor world”. The scenery here is filled with mystery, because of its unique natural landscape. The cave is full of grotesque shaped and jagged rocks. Profound, it is ancient, efficacious, beautiful, and strange in an organic whole. It is like empty boundary, which makes people feel fascinating there. On the mountain lies the palatial and magnificent sight “Cangjin towel”, at the foot of the mountain lies the green “the peach blossom pond”, in the center of the lake island lies the statue of the fairy maiden, left lies “makeup pavilion”, right lies “immortal gathering pavilion”. In Ming Dynasty, Guangde governor Zhu Lin wrote a poem: “After rain, the sky turns to be clear in suburban; in free time, I wander and see five horses hiss. Spring garment is to be wet in the door of cave with flowing clouds; the peach opposite to cliff blossom and stream gurgles.” With successive development, the limestone cave takes its unique natural landscape as the foundation, combining the historical humanities landscape and the historical fable that the fairy maiden lived in the labyrinth for a long time as the master line, to offer the confusing underground labyrinth to the general tourist, which is exquisitely carved and differs in thousands of wayss.
