Introduction to Chaoyang Cave: On the stone wall of Huaiyi in front of the Bible Mountain are engraved with plump regular script characters: "Chaoyang Cave". This cave was dug by Li Daoyuan, a disciple of Ma Danyang, in the Renyin year of Yuan Dynasty (AD 1302). The cave is 2.5 meters high, 1 meter wide and 2 meters deep. There were original stone statues of the fifth ancestor of Taoism in the cave. The entrance of the cave faces the sun, and at that time the Taoist temple on Bible Mountain was as vibrant as the rising sun, hence its name. On the protruding bare rocks in the west and northwest of the cave, four characters "Dongtian" and "Blessed Land" are respectively engraved, each character is more than one meter in diameter. What the inscription says is true. The geomantic omen here is beautiful and the artistic conception is quiet. The masters and disciples of "Beiqi Zhenren" and other Taoist immortals often come here to walk, rest and enjoy the blessings of nature after their hard training.
