花山谜窟, Ancient stone grottoes in Huangshan, China

The Huashan Mystery Grottoes contain 36 separate caves carved into the mountains along the Xin'an River, spanning across 81 square kilometers.

Archaeological studies indicate the grottoes were constructed during the Western Jin Dynasty period, approximately 1,700 years ago, with evidence visible in tool marks.

The absence of religious artifacts, statues, or inscriptions within these extensive man-made caves contributes to their classification as an archaeological mystery.

The grottoes remain accessible from January through November between 8:30 and 21:00, with reduced hours from November through December, costing 10 Yuan per entry.

The underground chambers feature multiple stone pillars measuring over 10 meters in diameter, with 36 stone rooms of varying sizes surrounding a central hall.
