The cave is broad in scale with a total area of 150,000 square meters and a total depth of several dozen miles; there are series of small caves as well as big ones, which are interlinked and changeable. We enter the cave above from the summit mouth and get out at the foot of the hill. The cave below is big with a lot of landscapes. The three characters “Taiji Cave” inscribed at the entry to the cave are from the original handwriting of Wu Tongchun——Ministry of Justice vice minister in Ming Dynasty. They are still very clear until now. The import hall is about 1,600 square meters and 5 to 10 meters high. It may be big enough to accommodate one thousand people. In the cave the landscape is magnificent. There are rich history remains. And stalactites are of various images. The east cave is treacherous and paste melts in it. If you lead your way for hundred meters, you will see a water-dunnel. The peak leaves the valley and the waterfall flows naturally in the cave. There are Yao Chi jade step, underground Milky Way, jade with golden light. The water-dunnel amounts to more than 2 kilometers long, and the boat may reach more than 700 meters.
