Dayou Cave

The Dayou Cave is a limestone cave not far from the Youyang County seat. The cave is 30m wide and 180m deep. Inside the cave, the musical sound is that of the water dripping from the statistics hanging from the roof. There are some ancient inscriptions on the walls of the cave, but apart from the four characters which mean "Library of Ancient Age", the rest of them are no longer recognizable.

The Dayou Cave is thought to be “Peach Blossom Spring” which was described by Tao Yuanming in his essay written during of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
