It was a month early, the osmanthus had not opened, the osmanthus hall was not opened, and the osmanthus flowed without lights... Although it was far from October 12, 18, I transferred West Kowloon to Hangzhou East, and came with my girlfriends to accompany my mother. It was full of osmanthus rain and drank night tea. But in a quiet and comfortable atmosphere, down the stone cave and up the steps. Turn to the laurel tree... Look at the vaguely incontrovertible monuments, smell the laurel fragrance, even if there is no tea, in the faint sun shadow, like the existence of the moon shadow, "mountain temple moon in the laurel" refers to not here, but the same has an inexplicable interest...
The stone house cave, at No. 98 Manjueyu Road, West Lake District, Hangzhou, is the lowest altitude cave in Yanxia Sandong. It is near the entrance of Manyu Guiyu. The surrounding sweet-scented osmanthus forest is one of the favorites of Hangzhou people. When the osmanthus blossoms are blooming, it is also the most lively time for Shiwudong.
Hangzhou Shiwu Cave, free attractions, come to enjoy the laurel. There is an introduction: there are holes in the Shiwu Cave Cave, and the caves are connected. The highest point of the main cave is about 5.6 meters, the depth is about 7.8 meters, the width is about 10 meters, the hole is spacious, and the house is like a house. There is a hole behind the hole, the upper width and the lower narrow, like floating snails, the "Bohai Floating snails" hole left has a newly built osmanthus hall. The courtyard is full of osmanthus and autumn trees. Every autumn, the osmanthus blossoms here are stacked and the fragrance is overflowing.
We drove to Hangzhou with our classmates. On the way through Shiwudong, we stopped by and went shopping. Shiwudong is located at No. 3 Manjueyu Road, West Lake District. The highest point of its main hole is about 5.6 meters, the depth is about 7.8 meters, and the width is about 10 meters. The hole is spacious and the house is like a house. There are holes in the cave of the stone house, and the cave is connected. There is a hole behind the cave, which is wide and narrow, and it is like a floating snail. The top of the cave is a "Yunyun Pavilion". There are old stone carvings such as Luo Han, Uranus and Feitian reliefs. The left of the cave has a newly built "osmanthus hall", the courtyard is full of osmanthus and autumn trees, it is said that every autumn, here osmanthus blooming, fragrance overflowing, has become a laurel resort in Hangzhou.
Shiwu Cave is on Manjueyu Road, close to the three-way intersection of Wulaofeng Tunnel. The first thing I knew was when the bus reported the station. But I have been to Hangzhou for many years, and I don't know where it is and what kind of hole it is. I rode a calf on the weekend and the weather was good. I went to explore the end. As one of the three holes of Yanxia, the stone house cave received serious damage during the Cultural Revolution. It is estimated that it is now renovated and reopened. Open for free, after entering, it is a small park, planted a lot of osmanthus trees, and a tea house. Probably when the osmanthus is in full bloom, it should be quite enjoyable to come over for a tea. To the north is the stone house cave, in fact, there are several holes. The hole in the east is very deep and dark, and you can see it with a light. There are stalactites on the mountain wall, and some shiny rocks, which are very fantasy and beautiful. This is the ghostly work of nature, and the statue of Buddha in the cave is the wisdom of human civilization. However, many statues have been damaged during the Cultural Revolution, and many of them are now later repaired.
