Brief of Yanxia Three Caves
Yanxia Three Caves consist of Shiwu Cave (石屋洞), Shuile Cave (水乐洞) and Yanxia Cave(烟霞洞), which is located in Yanxia Range of South Peak and famous as a tourist attraction in Hangzhou.
Keep going 500 meters along a path in front of Four Eyes Well and then the Shiwu Cave comes into view. Shiwu means Stone House. The tall and roomy cave roof looks like a stone house, hence the name. 500 arhat stone sculptures originally were seated in the cave wall, which were destroyed.
Shuile Cave is about 500 meters away from Shiwu Cave. It is more than 60 meters deep with tinkling spring water flowing out. At the bottom of Shuile Cave stand two stone sculptures of the butterfly lovers Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.
Yanxia Cave is about 500 meters away from Shuile Cave. There are exquisite stone sculptures of Guanyin and Bodhisattva of Great Power. Its cave statues can date back to the Five Dynasties (907-960).
