Gufo Cave
古佛洞
A giant karst cave at the top of Jinfo Mountain, with an entrance more than 20 m high and about 40 m wide, and an exit that opens onto the north cliff face. Stalagmites and flowstone take striking shapes inside.
Gufo Cave lies on the northeast side of Yaochiba on the mountain summit, at an elevation of about 2,100 m. It is the most famous cave on Jinfo Mountain. Its entrance is crescent-shaped, and its exit opens directly onto the cliff of the north slope, where you can look out over the gorge below. Inside are stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone, and traces of early saltpetre mining. The cave is named for stalagmites that resemble Buddha statues. It is included in the Jinfo Mountain ticket and is a 20 to 30 minute walk from the upper station of the north slope cable car. The cave is slippery and dim, so wear non-slip shoes. In winter, the cave may close temporarily when the entrance ices over.
