Yangjiaodong Taoist Caves
羊角洞
A cluster of Taoist cave shrines built into the cliffs of Fangyan, with halls set against the rock face. Visitors can ride a cable car up and down, making it the most folk-faith-oriented site in Yandang Mountain.
Yangjiaodong lies in Huwu Town at the northeastern tip of Yandang Mountain, next to Fangshan Mountain in Wenling. The grottoes sit on a cliff at Fangyan, about 450 m above sea level. The main cave is about 9 m high and 13 m deep, and wooden halls such as Yuchan Palace and Fangzhang Tower are built inside it. The site also features Shuanglong Valley and Ziting Ridge, and incense offerings are abundant. Admission is about 20 yuan, and a round-trip cable car ticket costs about 50 yuan. Hiking up on foot takes about 1 hour. The site is about 25 km from Lingfeng, so it is best combined with a visit to Fangshan Mountain in Wenling on the same day.
