History


Description

沂源织女洞 (Yiyuan Zhinu Cave, Weaving Girl Cave) or 织女洞 (Weaver's Cave) is located in the Niulang-Weaver Girl Tourist Area. The entrance to the cave is located 40m high in a cliff face. The entrance is reached through a two-story pavilion-style ancient building, with blue bricks and grey tiles, vermilion doors and green windows. The cave has only a single chamber which is 8 m high, 7 m wide, and 10 m long. On the left side is a dressing table and dormitory made of stone and brick, which contains colored statues of the Queen Mother and the Weaver Girl. Another statue of the Weaver Girl sits by the round window in front of the cave wall, expressing affection, facing the Niulang Temple across the river.
