Shuiliandong is a natural rock cave about 50 meters high and more than 20 meters deep. There is a constant trickle in the cave all year round. On rainy days, the eaves of the cave flow down like a curtain of water, hence the name. The mountains here are tall and straight, abrupt and spectacular; they are shaded by green trees and blooming mountain flowers; springs are gushing in the caves, gurgling mountain streams, and the scenery is quiet and pleasant.
