Introduction

The Qinglong Cave Ancient Architecture Complex was built in the mid-Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 500 years. This cultural relic is located on a cliff, integrating various architectural cultures such as Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, guild halls, bridges, and corridors, and is composed of six parts including Qinglong Cave, Ziyang Academy, Zhongyuan Zen Temple, Wanshou Palace, Zhusheng Bridge, and Lianhua Pavilion. Of these, the most striking is undoubtedly the Jade Emperor Pavilion. Its location is very bold, directly attached to the main cave entrance of Qinglong Cave, and has a cave, forming a wonderful landscape similar to a half-building and half-cave platform, truly expressing the essence of an aerial palace.
