(Front Hall) Hello, tourists! We warmly welcome all of you from afar. First of all, let me introduce the basic situation of Yaolin Wonderland:

Yaolin Wonderland is a limestone cave, which is divided into seven caves according to the cave structure, with a total area of 28,000 square meters. The whole scenic spot can be divided into two parts, the first part is the natural cave landscape, and the second part is the 36-meter wax museum and Miaofeng Garden, covering an area of 50 hectares. At present, the first four sightseeing halls of the cave cover an area of 16000 square meters. Today, I will accompany you as a tour guide to visit this underground paradise. Yaolin Wonderland is known as "the top cave in China" and ranks among the top 40 tourist attractions in China with its "strange, beautiful, heroic and deep" landscape. I wish you all a good swim and have fun.

Now we come to the front hall of fairyland. You may feel as if you have entered a wonderful and mysterious world. Although it is only one step away from the real world outside the cave, it is different from the fairyland on earth. This is just as a poet named Ke Yuezhai in the Song Dynasty wrote in the first sentence of his poem "Wandering Yaolin Wonderland". The second sentence of this poem is "Don't be a string of Kun in a pot". The poet compared the hole to a jar. You can see that this hole is a bit like a pot. Into this magical pot, there will be another world. There are sky, land, water and mountains here. You see, like a cloud, like countless lotus flowers hanging upside down, like a lotus flower. And there seems to be a small mountain village in the distance, just like a beautiful and quiet mountain village oil painting. This is only one fortieth of what we want to see today, and the real excitement is yet to come. Please continue.

It's called the welcome door. I heard you were here. Lions and elephants stand at the door to welcome them, so it is also called "Lion and Elephant Welcome". Look, this is a big hairy lion, this is its big nose and this is its big mouth; That's a group of elephants, and that's their long noses. Please enter the welcome door and visit the first hole hall.

Tourists, we have arrived at the first cave hall. According to the Records of Tonglu County during the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, there is a "land of immortals" in Yaolin Cave. Now we come to this place where immortals play, get together, see the scenery and recite poems. Please look at a stalagmite on the front first. It looks like a fairy in a cloak, and it is flying high to welcome everyone. We call him the "welcome fairy". Let's watch this scene one by one under the guidance of the welcome fairy.

Look across the street. There are mountains and forests, and it seems that there are pavilions. There seems to be a deep courtyard in the back, probably where immortals often play. Look over there, like a stage. Now the curtain has been slowly opened. After a while, maybe you can see the little fairies coming out and dancing gently. Where these immortals haunt, there are not only Yushu and Yulin, but also some animals. You don't look like a fat pig. It looks like an antelope hiding here. Stalagmite illuminated by red light in front is like a carp yue longmen. That's the head, that's the fin and that's the tail. According to tradition, this is an auspicious sign. As you can see today, the coming year will be auspicious.

It's a waterfall, probably a place where immortals enjoy the scenery and recite poems. You see there seems to be a scholar wearing a square towel standing in front of the waterfall. It may be Xu Fang, a poet in Tonglu, Yuan Dynasty. According to records, he lived in a cave for a period of time. Some people say that he is Li Bai, reciting poems facing the stone waterfall. Please follow me to watch it nearby.

(Stone Waterfall) This stone waterfall is also called "Yinhe Waterfall". It roared down the world. Look at the shining silver stars in the waterfall. This stone waterfall is seven meters high and thirteen meters wide. It is a rare scenic stone in China at present, which can be described as "the wonder of the world". It is really "flying down three kilometers, and it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days".

Seeing this, tourists must be curious to know how this stone waterfall was formed. This is because there are long cracks in the cave wall, and pieces of water flow out of the cracks and slowly fall. The water vapor ran away, and calcium carbonate precipitated along the cave wall. Over time, this stone waterfall was formed. In the rainy season, you can see the running water wrinkling and slowly flowing into the pool. Please enjoy the magical reflection in the pool again. What a beautiful and charming scenery it is. We take this "Yinhe Waterfall" as the first symbol of Yaolin Wonderland.

Please go straight ahead. This is "Monkey Holding Xiantao" and it says "Panda Playing Ball". Tourists, the remains of china rhino's teeth were found on the cave wall. According to the investigation by the Institute of Geology of Chinese Academy of Sciences and other relevant units, there are 40 species of cave animals in Yaolin Cave, and 35 species have been preliminarily identified, belonging to 6 phyla 14, 28 families and 32 genera, among which bats account for the largest number. Now I sometimes meet it flying around and playing with tourists. What other animals can you see during the tour? Please come here with me to watch.

There is a pair of golden roosters looking at the beautiful stone waterfall. Look, this is a big rooster with a big hen beside it. This scene is called "Golden Rooster Watching Waterfall".

When exploring Yaolin, the staff found a bronze mirror engraved with the word "Ark" at the right rear of this "Golden Rooster View Waterfall". "Ark" is the font name of the poet Xu Fang. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Xu Fang took refuge in a cave, probably left over at that time, more than 600 years ago. There are stone steps ahead. Please look up and walk slowly.

(Juxiantang) This is Juxiantang. Look, that's a pair of stone lions guarding the door. There are also three big clocks here. It is said that once these three clocks ring, immortals will come to the party, so it is called "Juxian Clock". Look, two old fairy parties haven't come back yet. Where are all three clocks? Please look for it. (pause for a moment) This is a bite. Here's another bite. Look at this clock. There is still a Shan Ying parked. Where is the bite? It's hidden in a stone curtain. Look inside. According to geological experts of Chinese Academy of Sciences, this clock has been formed for145,000 years.

The pot in the front hall of this clock belongs to a vortex at the top of the cave in karst, and there are many places along it. There is a row of four basins on the top of the cave at the exit of the three main halls, which looks like an inverted basin, so it is also called a karst basin. Above the entrance aisle of Hall 4, we can also see a smaller vortex hole, so it is called the dimple hole at the top of the cave.

Please don't make noise. Look, there is a turtle in this pool. It's shy. As soon as it heard the sound, it climbed back and hid in the hole. I haven't entered the hole yet. Come and have a look. It is said that this is a fairy turtle. It is said that fairy turtles live a long life. Seeing this fairy turtle today indicates that everyone will live a long and healthy life. Please look at the reflection in the pool again. There is a hole in the hole, which is unpredictable. There are many such reflections in the cave, each with its own merits. Please pay attention along the way.

This is very similar to the Hua Biao in front of Tiananmen Square, where Kowloon is coiled, so we call it Yingzhou Hua Biao, which is seven meters high and is the second largest symbol of Yaolin Wonderland. According to the process of karst dripping into stone, it takes hundreds of thousands of years to form, which is different from the formation of stone waterfalls. It is because the water seeping into the top of the cave falls on the bottom of the cave, and the calcium carbonate precipitate formed from the bottom up is formed by seeping water, mostly in the form of bamboo shoots, which is scientifically called stalagmite. The stalagmites in Yaolin Cave have different shapes, and the largest one has this "Yingzhou Huabiao". Let's recall (wait a minute), by the way, there are the immortal Yingchun, yue longmen the carp, the golden rooster and the stone lion as gatekeepers. These are isolated stalagmites one after another or in pairs, and pieces of stalagmites are more magnificent in shape. I'll accompany you to the third hall later.

There is a row of stone straw hat curtains in front, which are gorgeous and shiny. Please pay attention to watch. Going forward is a narrow road for one person. Please walk in an orderly way, pay attention to safety and protect Shi Jing.

(Qionglou Yuyu) Now we come to Qionglou Yuyu. You see, there seems to be a Shan Ying hovering above, and there seems to be a warrior in armor and helmet guarding below. In this piece of Yushu, there seem to be pavilions.

When Yaolin Cave 1979 was first explored in September, the staff climbed in from the top of this road with miner's lamps and torches. At that time, there were no lights, roads and stone steps in the cave. Now, after years of development and construction by tourism workers, there is a tourism environment of this scale. It can be said that the predecessors planted trees, and later generations enjoyed the cool! The next scene is "Guanghan Stage".

(Guanghan Stage) Now we come to Guanghan Stage. Different from other stages, all the facilities on the stage are composed of various natural landscape stones in the cave. You see, the curtain that opens slowly is called "stone curtain hanging down". The two red palace lanterns on the platform are stalactites formed by wheat-like water. The big column on the right side of the stage consists of stalactites hanging from the top of the cave and stalagmites growing at the bottom of the cave. This is the wonder of the "wide cold stage". The fairies danced on this stage in the "Preliminary Exploration of Yaolin Cave" filmed by the Central News Film Studio. Are tourists who have seen the movie Shaolin Boy familiar with this scene? This is where Sanfeng delivers chicken soup to Sanlong. There are many scenes in Yaolin Cave that have appeared in this film. After a while, I will show you the way one by one.

You see, it looks like a forest carved by beautiful jade, and it looks like a coral forest piled up by mountain jade corals. Some tourists say it's like Wan Li's icy scenery in the north. We call it "Yushu Qionglin". At the beginning of the opening of Yaolin Cave, the scene was crystal clear and white. However, with tens of millions of tourists visiting the cave for more than ten years, the color of Shi Jing darkened with the illumination of the lights in the cave.

(Treasure Palace) Look, there are mountains in the mountains, holes in the holes, and pearls are shining and dazzling. It is the legendary place where the fairy family keeps pearl treasures. Look, there seems to be a Gu Jian hanging on it. Like a collection of dragon horns, there is a little monkey guarding this treasure. This scene is called "Treasure Palace". This cool sword-shaped Shi Jing is a deposit mainly composed of calcium carbonate, which grows downward from the top of the cave. At first, it was just a small protrusion at the top of the cave, and then it gradually became bigger. Generally, there is a hollow tube in the middle, which looks like stalactite, so the scientific name is stalactite. This is also a common deposit in caves, and his big debate is also very strange, so you can pay attention to it during the tour.

(Ganoderma Fairy Mountain) This mountain is covered with Ganoderma lucidum, which is called "Ganoderma Fairy Mountain". Look, this is a dromedary camel. It is said that it was sent by the Queen Mother to carry Ganoderma lucidum. There is a stone lion in front of Lingzhi Mountain. Please pay attention. The lion seems to have closed his eyes. It is said that this is a lazy lion who loves to doze off, so there is a little frog guarding these ganoderma lucidum. Once an evil spirit comes to steal something, the clever little frog will jump up and give the lion an alarm. This scene is called "the lion frog protects the mountain". Where is the little frog? Look, it's hidden in this hole.

Look at the cliff at the intersection. There stood an old fairy with a bow and a hand on her back. Welcome to the second cave hall. There is also a pigeon parked opposite. It will fly to Hall 2 and Hall 3 to report everyone's arrival information, let the pigeons tell the news first, and we will continue to visit the first cave hall. (Yue Xian Hall) This is the place where immortals enjoy wonderful music. It is called "Yue Xian Hall". The group of "eighteen brocade" hanging side by side has two more brocade than that in Beijing Tiantan Park. Its sounds are high and low, some are vigorous, some are crisp, and it can knock out very beautiful sounds.

Many stones in Yaolin Cave can make pleasant sounds, some like bells, some like drums and some like pianos, so the ancient book records: "The stones in the cave have the sound of bells and drums." If they all knock, the cave will be like a concert hall. But to protect Shi Jing, please don't knock. Later in the third hall, I will guide you to knock on a noisy stone drum. Just like the stone curtain you just saw on the stone curtain stage, this group of stone fabrics is composed of thin layers of water filled with heavy calcium carbonate, which flows out from the roof or wall of the cave and deposits into wavy pleated skirt-like flowing stones hanging on the wall. They are shaped like curtains and curtains, and some are like big harps in western musical instruments, so they are called stone curtains and stone curtains.

Please look ahead, that's where the immortals meet. Look at the opposite fairy mountain, where there is a statue of an old birthday girl with a long beard. The one on the lotus throne looks like Guanyin. There are two statues of Goddess Guanyin in Yaolin Cave, which are natural, and the latter one is artificially made. You can see it in the "Fairy World" later.

Please look at fairy mountain again. Do you look like an old monk in a cassock? He is chanting with his hands folded, praying for everyone, wishing everyone a pleasant journey and a happy family.

(Zizhulin) Look, this is a unicorn, with a treasure on its back, and its head held high at Guanyin, which is called "Kirin presents a treasure". This is called "Zizhulin". Look at the shapes of bamboo joints and bamboo whips. How did this Zhong Zhulin come into being? Due to the continuous movement of groundwater in the cave, erosion and dissolution occurred, which made the sediment at the bottom of the upper cave unstable and caused the small stone pillars to be pulled open or disconnected. If the subsidence is small, with the continuous deposition of calcium carbonate, the opened stone pillar is "welded" again, becoming bulging bamboo joints and bamboo roots on the stone pillar. Visitors, the tour of the first cave hall has ended, and its area is 4400 square meters. Due to the winding tour route, this cave hall makes us seem to enter a maze. There are abundant landscape stones in the hall, such as large-scale spectacular "Lion Elephant Welcome", "Yinhe Waterfall" and "Stone Curtain Hanging Platform", lifelike "Ganoderma Fairy Mountain" and "Guanghan Stage", as well as small and exquisite "Monkey Embracing Xiantao" and "Golden Rooster Watching Waterfall". There are two symbols of Yaolin Wonderland in this hall, one is Yinhe Waterfall and the other is Yingzhou Huahua Waterfall. These dazzling landscapes are dizzying.

Please look at this group of scenery. There are mountains, water, holes and stones. How I like the quiet and elegant Fuchun River landscape! Look, there seems to be an old man fishing in a cave by the river. Some people say he is Jiang Taigong, others say he is Yan Ziling. This beautiful landscape reminds people of the legendary Xanadu, just call it "Peach Blossom Garden"! The opposite is the "Wuling Village" in the "Peach Blossom Garden".

Now let's go to Wuling Village. However, the road is tortuous, and there are no small waves on the way.

(Dragon King Hall) What's this dark and messy place down here? Some people call it "the overturned Dragon King Hall". What's going on here? It's quite interesting to say!

It turns out that the beautiful scenery of "Peach Blossom Garden" and "Wuling Village" makes the East China Sea Dragon King jealous. He always made waves, flooded the land and rushed into the "Peach Blossom Garden" and "Wuling Village". So, everyone joined forces to destroy the Longwang Temple, scaring the conch to flee ashore and the tortoise to climb up. They also built a Zhenhai Tower to strangle the Dragon King. You see, the Dragon King is motionless, locked in the sea, his face, beard and nose are all collapsed, he is blind in one eye, and his face is sad. If you look again, the outline projection on it will be clearer. That's the crown of the dragon king, that's the nose and that's the beard. ...

Lobster, the loyal minister of the dragon king over there. Look: pointy head, shell by shell, looking back awkwardly at the unlucky Dragon King. Only by restraining the Dragon King who makes waves can the people live and work in peace and contentment, so it is meaningful to call this place "the Temple of Overturning the Dragon King".

Of course, this story is made up by us. The dragon king, lobster, tortoise and conch in the story are just stalagmites of different shapes. If the Dragon King is strangled, Xanadu will be more beautiful! Let's go to Wuling village.

(Wuling Village) This scene is called "Wuling Village". You see, a big bodhi tree blocks the sun, and the whole village is full of graceful flowers. Look here, like a white waterfall running down, like a dense forest, and a pile of harvested grain. The golden rice sparkled. In order to prevent mice from stealing food, a cat is guarding the grain pile. Please look around. Where is the cat? That's right. The cat is watching over it.

Although the above paragraphs are made up by us, the sculptor nature organically combines these scenic stones, which naturally and harmoniously constitutes the material of our tour guide, which is wonderful. So some tourists call Yaolin Wonderland "fugue". Do you have this experience?

Now it seems that there is no way to doubt. No, the road is here. Looking ahead, "there is another village".

This is the lounge from Hall 2 to Hall 3. Everyone can have a rest. While watching this cave, everyone must want to know how the limestone cave in Yaolin Wonderland was formed. Was it created by a fairy? Don't! There are three conditions to form this kind of karst cave: first, the geological structure is limestone containing a lot of calcium carbonate, which is called sedimentary rock in geology; Second, there should be cracks in the ground; The third is running water, and these three conditions are indispensable. Limestone is a soluble rock. When it meets water, it becomes fragile and can be carved. According to the determination of the geological department, 200 million years ago, it was an ocean, which became land due to the change of the crust. Water containing carbon dioxide oozes from the cracks and limestone slowly dissolves. Coupled with the influence of groundwater, a hole was formed at the foot of this camel mountain. After a while, everyone entered the fourth cave hall, and this meritorious groundwater can be seen. Strange and lifelike cave landscapes such as stalagmites, stalactites, stone waterfalls, stone pillars, stone curtains, stone basins and stone flowers were all formed 350,000 years ago (middle Pleistocene). Yaolin Cave is the representative of karst caves in coastal areas in humid areas of central subtropical zone in China, which is different from karst caves in the south, plateaus and mountains in the north and west.

(Lion Hall) This is called the Lion Hall. It is said that there are fifty lions, big and small, in this lion house, and now there are only forty-five left. Where are the other five? Let's recall: a lion walked to the entrance of the lion elephant welcoming hall, and both ends greeted you at the entrance of Juxian Hall in the first cave hall. One is in front of Lingzhi Mountain, and the other is going to the third hole, Paradise Elysium, to perform lion dance. You can see it later. So now there are only forty-five heads here. Please take a rest and look for them. Wait a minute, please let the tourists move. Yes, there is a big stone bamboo shoot sitting on the ground like a big lion king on the front, and there are many little lions on the side, which can be described as "lions gather in the mountains". Look here, this is the "lazy lion lying on the ground", next to it is the "grandma lion with grandson", and there are a pair of tryst lions, and there is a "roaring crazy lion" in front. Turning around, here are a pair of lions rolling hydrangeas, and there are many lions nearby, so I won't introduce the time relationship one by one.

This is the end of the tour of the second cave hall, which covers an area of 2300 square meters. During the tour just now, you may have realized that it is similar to a hump shape, which fluctuates greatly from low to high and then from high to low. The stones in the cave not only have the pastoral scenery of jade carvings-"Peach Blossom Garden" and "Wuling Village", but also have a steep and majestic pit valley-"Overturned Dragon King Hall".

There are two big acacia trees at the entrance of Sankong Pavilion. Welcome everyone! Acacia, acacia, is to wish everyone a happy family. Please observe along the road and see if you can find these two acacia trees.

There is a canyon path ahead, and the road is steep. Please be safe and walk slowly. Please take care of each other for the elderly tourists.

It's called "Lingshan Canyon". In this dangerous canyon, a trickle can be heard in the rainy season. The terrain here is low, and it forms the hump-shaped terrain of the second cave hall with the Dragon King Hall and the Lion Hall that have fallen over in front.

Look, there are two acacia trees here. The contract tree belongs to Leguminosae. Note that the stalactites on the cave wall are not only like leafy branches, but also like fat pods. It can be seen that the acacia tree in the celestial realm of Tiangong is also very similar to the acacia tree in the merchants.

Ladies and gentlemen, please look this way. The stalagmites with strange shapes are layered and towering into the sky, and their spirit is magnificent. It is 30 meters high here. Is there a feeling that there is a mountain outside the mountain?

Through the tour of the first two caves, I don't know if you have found the law of appreciation of cave landscape, that is: think about it, the more you look, the more you look. Then please follow my instructions and watch the opposite scene in this way.

Look, there is a hole in the high cloud, and two doors are closed! It's not like the cave of cattle in The Journey to the West. the Monkey King borrowed a banana fan from Princess Tiefan, who closed the cave door and the Monkey King was turned away. Where is the Monkey King? Look at that cave. Isn't that the Monkey King up there? He can't borrow a banana fan, and he's scratching his head! Look at the stalagmites in that area. They look like little monkeys. That's probably because of the Monkey King's hair. Some people have found Pig Bajie below, so you might as well look for it. This is a natural "Cui Yun Cave House", and there is one in the "Fairy World", where you can also see Princess Tiefan!

Look at this height, a huge and majestic column stands in the air, firmly supporting this 9,700-square-meter cave hall, how spectacular it is! It is the treasure of Yaolin fairyland, known as the third symbol of Yaolin fairyland, and called it "Yuzhutian". The carving on it can be described as "ingenious". Please look at the stalagmite on the right from another angle with me.

Look, the opposite is the most wonderful part of our Yaolin Wonderland, and it is also the climax of our whole visit today. You see, stalagmites are layered, colorful and changeable, like poems, paintings and dreams ... No wonder Mr. Ye, a famous contemporary painter in China, returned to Tonglu in 198 1 and when he visited Yaolin, he was full of praise for this charming scenery, saying that it was like a big mural of the Tang Dynasty in Dunhuang and a "paradise" in the west. The painter's "Elysium" refers to a place where everyone is happy. In this "paradise", tourists will find many things, and some people find "cranes" in the middle; Someone found an auspicious "elephant"; Someone found the dancing "lion"; Someone has found the soaring "dragon" ... please look for it and see who has found something new. "Thirty-three days" is actually composed of stalagmites in caves. There are more than 100 stalagmites with different shapes, including flat, pointed, round and concave. We feast our eyes on these wonderful landscapes and have to applaud them.

Look, there are really fairies applauding this scene!

(Before the Song Dynasty) This is a natural stone wall with a poem written by Ke Yuezhai, a poet of the Song Dynasty. This poem is about Yaolin Wonderland, which is a masterpiece. We have quoted the first sentence and the second sentence in the hall. The full text is: "fairyland is so close, the dragon is dried in the pot." Feng Lei didn't know it was sex, and the stars had never seen it. Just like dreaming of Pengdao Road, people are clearly in Wuling Village. The peach blossom cave gate is long and hidden, and the violent Chu is strong and the Qin people are attached. " This poem is copied from Tonglu County Records compiled during the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, which strongly shows that many people came here for sightseeing in Song Dynasty, and many literati described Yaolin Wonderland. This poem calls this cave "Wonderland", "Hutian", "Penglai Island", "Peach Blossom Island" and "Wuling Village". On the one hand, it shows that Yaolin fairyland has a long history, on the other hand, it also shows that Yaolin fairyland has really been a beautiful fairy world in people's minds since ancient times.

It is said that this exquisite and unique stone can only be knocked out by industrious people, but not by lazy people. Tourists who knock loudly will surely make a fortune (or have extraordinary wisdom), so it is called "wealth drum" (or wisdom drum). Interested tourists may wish to have a try. The beauty of Yaolin Wonderland is endless. Look! This is the most beautiful and precious stalagmite in Yaolin Wonderland. Its color is as beautiful as jade, and only a skilled craftsman can carve it so beautifully. We call it "Yushu Qionghua".

(The winding bridge leads to a secluded place) This place is called "the winding bridge leads to a secluded place". Although it is dark and inconspicuous, it is a rare cave deposit, which is called "cloud basin". Because the cave theory is slightly inclined, the sediment deposition and dissolved calcium carbonate precipitation in running water condense into clouds and basins, hence the name.

(Shijingyuan) After the winding bridge leads to a secluded place, we came to Shijingyuan. Please look at "Sea Lions Meet Water" here. It is a very typical stalagmite with a big bottom and a small top. Above is a stalactite, which forms a vivid shape of sea lions catching water. Look at the stalagmites here. Its shape is just the opposite. It has a small bottom and a large top. It is a rare stalagmite in the cave and is called "Yaolin Jade Peak". Let's recall that we have seen the three landmarks of Yaolin Cave: Yinhe Waterfall, Yingzhou Huabiao and Yuzhu, and this "Yaolin Yufeng" is the fourth and most important symbol of Yaolin. Therefore, Yaolin Wonderland is my souvenir, and this model is adopted.

From this point of view, the stalagmites in "Thirty-three Days" look like stone forests. Compared with Yunnan Stone Forest, which is known as "the wonder of the world", is it unique?

The inscriptions of cave explorers in the 18th year of Sui Kaidi (AD 588) and the 17th year of Tang Zhenguan (AD 643) are preserved on the upper right cave wall of the stalagmite in Thirty-three Days. Because of their age, they have been covered with a layer of transparent calcium carbonate crystals. In the process of developing Yaolin, we also found printed pottery pieces in the Eastern Han Dynasty, ancient coins in the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty, celadon fragments in the Yuan Dynasty, and the remains of ancient people using fire in the Western Zhou Dynasty 900 years ago. This shows that Yaolin Wonderland has been a tourist attraction since ancient times.

The landscape of Yaolin Cave has aroused the interest of many filmmakers. In addition to the Hong Kong film Shaolin Kid, more than a dozen shots were shot in this cave, as well as Two Spirits in Clear Water, Murderers and Cowards, Happy water curtain cave, Large Myth TV Series, List of Gods and so on. The scene in front of me was left when I was shooting that year.

Tourist, this scene is Master Guanyin and her "good fortune" and "dragon girl". Guanyin is the chief bodhisattva and the first bodhisattva in the Buddha country. In the Tang Dynasty, the word "Guanyin" was removed to avoid the taboo of Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin. What is Guanyin? It is said that when all beings are suffering, the Bodhisattva will "observe" this sound and immediately go to help, so people regard "observing the world" as a bodhisattva with great compassion and boundless magic. Did everyone find out? This Guanyin's eyes will blink. This Guanyin is 5 meters high. In China Buddhism, February 19 of the lunar calendar is designated as Guanyin's birthday, June 19 is its enlightenment day, and September 19 is Guanyin's becoming a monk, which is collectively called "Guanyin Incense Festival". Mount Putuo in Zhejiang, Mount Emei in Sichuan, Mount Jiuhua in Anhui and Mount Wutai in Shanxi are four famous Buddhist mountains. Many pilgrims will worship Guanyin and seek blessings and children. This time, Yaolin also invited this Guanyin. You will get the same effect when you visit Guanyin Xiang. If you want Guanyin, you can ask for help, but remember that "sincerity is the spirit"

This is the so-called "farewell corridor". Look, gods of all sizes are seeing everyone off. Visitors are invited to look back at the beautiful scenery of this fairyland. Let us once again appreciate the beautiful artistic conception of fog and fairy fog!

Today, you visited Yaolin Cave, not only had a good feeling, but also learned some popular science knowledge about caves. At that time (1982), Mr. Hu Juewen, the late former vice chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), lamented after visiting Yaolin Wonderland: "Yaolin Cave is the highest of all caves in China, with twists and turns. It's called fairyland, but it's not a witch. " Do you feel the same way after all the tourists swim in this cave?

Now we come to Yinhe Bridge, from which we can see the beautiful scenery of the three pavilions of 9700 square meters. 1983 After visiting Yaolin Cave in March, the poet wrote the inscription "Crazy Cave, Crazy Fairy, Crazy Scene, Crazy View". I don't know if everyone feels the same way. During the development of Yaolin, we found the remains of the ancient people who used fire in the Western Zhou Dynasty more than 2,900 years ago on the stone wall in front of us, which shows that Yaolin fairyland has a long history. The total area of Yaolin Wonderland is * * * 28,000 square meters. Today, I visited the first four pavilions, covering an area of16000m2. Its characteristics are "strange, beautiful, luxurious and deep", and the latter three halls are "big, wide, empty and thick". Maybe everyone has already felt it. Now the Shi Jing where we are standing is completely different from the first four halls, and it is still in the primary stage.
