Kongtong Cave

崆峒岩

A cave temple on the western outskirts of the city, 'temple within the rock, peaks beyond the temple', regarded as one of China's 'Four Kongtong' sites.

Kongtong Cave lies about 3 km west of Yangchun city center. A limestone hill here has four peaks, and the cave has five levels. Kongtong Zen Temple is built inside the cave. Cliff inscriptions from the Ming and Qing dynasties onward and the ancient buildings inside the cave are Guangdong Provincial Cultural Relic Protection Units. Known for being marvelous, graceful and perilous, it is regarded as one of China's 'Four Kongtong' sites. Stone steps inside the cave lead up to views over the Moyang River and the city. It is close to the city center, and a visit takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, which suits the day of arrival or the time before departure. Please keep quiet inside the temple. Admission details are confirmed on site.
