Yellow Dragon Cave

Yellow Dragon Cave is located at the northern foot of Qixia Ridge in beautiful Zhejiang. The formation of this natural spectacle has a legend that a monk from Yellow Dragon Hill in Jiangxi Province in the Southern Song Dynasty came to the site and decided to build a temple. One day, a yellow dragon suddenly appeared and hit the ground; then, the place miraculously turned out to be what we see today.

In the surrounding of various kinds of bamboo, Yellow Dragon Cave seems to be dressed in Green. And there is also a spring issuing from the mouth of the yellow dragon, the cracked rock. Beside the spring, the famous quotation was engraved on the rock, "Regardless of the depth, Divine is the dragon pool." In the neighborhood, there are also two lovely pavilions, Fragrant Snow and Crane's Stopover. The scenery as a whole becomes one of the Ten Scenes of The West Lake, Yellow Dragon Cave Dressed in Green.

At times, tourists will have the chance to enjoy the beautiful Chinese music conducted by the orchestra in ancient costumes with the Chinese musical instruments and indulge in the delightful China travel.
