The history of Longquan cave

Longquan Cave is a tourist attraction in history. Up to now, there are 28 inscriptions written by tourists in past dynasties on the cave wall. Because of the age, most of them are illegible. Among them, Xu Rongxuan wrote an inscription on the mountain in the mid-winter of Kaiyuan Year (1 195) in the Southern Song Dynasty. As can be seen from the inscription of Xijiang Moon, as early as 800 years ago, tourists came here to enjoy the wonders of caves. However, Longquan Cave was blocked in the middle of Qing Dynasty. It was not until the 1978 drought that farmers searched for water sources and were rediscovered and excavated. After the renovation, it was officially opened to the public on 1982 New Year's Day. At present, Longquan Cave is surrounded by rolling hills, lush trees, tinkling springs, restaurants, teahouses, hotels and other tourist service facilities, winding paths, pavilions and pavilions, hidden in bamboo forests. There are steps, ladders and lanterns in the cave, which are colorful and fascinating, just like the Dragon Palace. Since its opening up, it has received more than one million tourists from home and abroad, making it a key tourist attraction at the provincial level.
