老君洞, Taoist cave complex in Shanxi, China.

The limestone caverns of Laojun extend through multiple chambers within the mountains, featuring natural rock formations and ancient inscriptions on the walls.

The cave system gained recognition during the Tang Dynasty when Taoist practitioners established meditation spaces and carved religious symbols into the rock surfaces.

Laojun Cave functions as a center for Taoist practices, where followers gather to study teachings and participate in traditional ceremonies throughout the year.

Visitors can access the cave complex through a network of maintained pathways, with guided tours available in multiple languages from the main entrance.

The cave maintains a constant temperature of 12 degrees Celsius regardless of external weather conditions, creating specific conditions for preservation of ancient markings.
