Inscriptions dating from 792 AD during the Tang Dynasty cover the cave walls, while in the 1940s refugees used it as shelter during World War II.
The stalactites and rock formations inside receive names from Chinese literature, including a formation connected to the Dragon King from Journey to the West.
