This beautiful Sanyou Cave is in the cliffs of the northern Peak of Xiling Mountain, 6.2 miles northwest of Yichang, China. It was visited by three poets, Bai Xingjian, Bai Juyi, and Yuan Zhen during the Tang Dynasty and Bai Juyi wrote a preface in memory of the occasion. The cave has also been visited by Su Xun, Su Shi, and Su Zhe and is thus a well-known spot. It overlooks a deep valley and the cliffs are hundreds of feet high. It is warm in winter and cool in summer and dotted with stalactites. Poems and essays by many writers abound in the cave.
