Yellow Dragon Cave

Yellow Dragon Cave is located at the northern foot of Qixia Ridge in beautiful Hangzhou. The formation of this natural spectacle has a legend that a monk from Yellow Dragon Hill in Jiangxi Province in the Southern Song Dynasty came to the site and decided to build a temple. One day, a yellow dragon suddenly appeared and hit the ground; then, the place miraculously turned out to be what we see today.

The garden of the Yellow Dragon Cave(Huanglong Cave) is built around flowing water, green ponds, pavilions, corridors, pines and bamboo groves. The garden has more than ten varieties of bamboo, and is therefore an ideal place to see bamboo. Over the past few years, the garden has become associated with the Chinese concept of “being destined to be together”, and it offers a range of activities on this theme.

Yellow Dragon Cave Dressed in Green is one of the New Ten Scenes of West Lake and a famous Taoist temple. It is where Hangzhounese prayed to the dragon for rain in the Southern Song Dynasty. With wooded hills behind, this park features serene and mysterious beauty highlighted by harmoniously arranged streams, caves, pavilions and rockeries. The rare square bamboo has aroused great curiosity among visitors.
A special garden of folk customs has been developed to feature YUAN, which means good luck. Visitors will earn three Chinese lucks: congeniality, auspiciousness and marital felicity.

Travel Tips:
Don't go climing on rainy days because the mountain road is slippery and there is much fog.
