Brief introduction of Shimenfang

There are eight caves in Shimenfang: Longdong Cave, Sanyuan Cave, Xianren Cave, Xingtian Cave, Zuntian Cave, Chuanmen Cave and Pansheng Cave. Among them, Longdong and Sanyuan caves are the most important. The caves have their own merits, which are breathtaking and fascinating.

Shimenfang is surrounded by green peaks, towering walls and rugged rocks. Those who are green are like wearing, those who are white are like chalk, those who are steep are like cutting, and those who peel off are like taking off. Red leaves and yellow leaves are everywhere, each value is in late autumn, and the frost hits the red leaves and splashes the mountain red; Among the cypresses, the eyes are full of red and inlaid, which is beautiful and picturesque. On the Double Ninth Festival, Chinese and foreign tourists enjoy red leaves at Shimen.

In late autumn, the red leaves are all dyed, the cypresses are dotted, and the ravines are full of color. Before and after the Double Ninth Festival, there was an endless stream of tourists. In order to give full play to this resource advantage, the "Hongye Economic and Trade Friendship Association" was held every year from 199 1, which improved the popularity of Shimenfang, and the number of tourists increased year by year, reaching 250,000 in 1997. The main attractions are red leaf landscape, mountain landscape, cave world and human landscape. Every late autumn, Cotinus coggygria, which is all over the valley, will turn green and red. From a distance, it looks like a rolling red wave, almost like a bunch of mountain flowers. In the dead of winter, the mountains are covered with snow.

Shimenfang has formed many caves due to perennial rock dissolution, such as hanging mirror cave, immortal cave, Zhifu cave, Panseng cave and Sanyuan cave. More than 3,000 years ago, Tugong Temple was built in Shang Dynasty, and there are more than 70 carved Buddha statues on Cliff, most of which were built in Tianbao period of Tang Dynasty. On the east side of Tugong Temple, Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty inscribed the word "Sunset Photo" on the cliff in the fourth year, which was rich in color and fluent. Down the cliff, there is a trickle of spring water flowing down the river, forming a pool, which is another clear Tianchi lake. Because the trees covered the sky at that time, there was no pavilion at noon. Only when the sun sets in the western hills, a beam of light passes through the natural ravine and goes straight to "night". In Tianchi Lake, the ink of "golden paper" is reflected in the pool like a big red leaf, and the scenery is unique. Among the scenic spots in Taiping, Kuixing Building is the main one, with six sides, houses to live in and cloisters around. The main entrance is engraved with the word "Kuixing".
