Shuilian Cave

Only 3km from the county seat, Shuilian (water curtain) Cave Scenic Spot is beset in mountains. The Tongtian River runs down the cliff over 60m high and forms a water curtain. There is a cave on the cliff which is spacious enough to hold hundreds of people. Hidden by the water curtain, it hence got the name Shuilian (literally water curtain) Cave. Owing to its fine water quality, the place is reputed as the Blessing Land and Haven by Taoism. Shui Lian Gua Xu, one of the eight sights in Tongbai, is a fine summer resort for rest and relaxation. Shuilian Temple, next to the cave, could be dated back to 1,000 years. In the temple there is a jade Buddha statue donated by the believers in Myanmar, which stands 1.5m high and weighs 1.8 ton. It is a national treasure for its fine craftsmanship.
