Taogong Cave on the Nanxi River|A unique place to pray for blessings and fortune!

📍Address of scenic spot: Taogong Cave is located in Daluoyan Town, Yongjia County, Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province. It is the largest natural cave in southern Zhejiang with a history of more than 2,000 years. It is revered by Taoists as the "12th Blessed Land in the World" and is famous far and wide. Attractions: - Giant cave: The cave is 56 meters high, 76 meters wide and 79 meters deep. It has a wide space and can accommodate 10,000 people. It is divided into two floors, the lower floor has the Guanyin Pavilion and the lecture platform, and the upper floor "Tiantai" has the Hu Gong Hall behind it, and the "Red Water Well" beside the hall is miraculous and never dries up. - Wonderful sight of light and shadow: The light in the cave changes with the clouds. It is dark when the clouds gather and bright when the clouds disperse. It is mysterious and quiet when the clouds are lingering, and suddenly bright when they disperse. The scenery is unique and charming. - Religious Fusion: The temple integrates the cultures of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. The statues of Buddha and Taoism coexist in the temple. The incense of Hu Gong Emperor worshipped by the people is very popular. During the incense season, there are more than 10,000 tourists every day, and the religious atmosphere is strong. 🚗 Transportation to attractions: Transportation: - Self-driving: Navigate to "Yongjia Taogong Cave", which is about an hour's drive from Wenzhou city. The road is smooth and the scenery along the way is nice. - Public transportation: Take a minibus from Oubei to Bilian at Wenzhou Oubei Wharf Bus Station and get off at Daruoyan. Alternatively, take a bus from Yantou Town to Jiuzhang Bridge and then take a minibus to Bilian. There are many buses and travel is convenient. 👍️Must-see attractions: - Tour route: After entering the cave, first visit the Guanyin Pavilion on the lower level to experience the tranquility, then climb the stone stairs to the upper level to admire the Hu Gong Hall and Wenchang Pavilion, and finally go outside the cave to admire the koi in the release pond, which is leisurely and comfortable. 🎟️Ticket information: - Ticket information: Adult tickets are only NT$10, and children, students, and seniors can enjoy half price with valid ID, which is very affordable. Opening hours are 08:00 - 17:00. 💗Other tips: - Food recommendation: Try Yongjia wheat cakes, which have a crispy crust and a variety of fillings. The pickled mustard greens and pork belly are super fragrant. There is also the roasted whole lamb at Lingshangrenjia, which has crispy skin and tender meat, without any smell of mutton, and is very memorable.
