brief introduction

A natural rock. It is said that it was the reading place of Cao ye, a famous poet of Yangshuo in the late Tang Dynasty. In the old days, ciguang Temple (also known as Chengbei Temple) was built here, but now it has no existence. Xie Jin, a scholar of Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem: "in zhongchengbei Temple of Yangshuo County, people say that CaoYe lived in the old time, but nianshen temple was abandoned without monks, only Shiyan name was used to study." (the poem is carved on the stone wall in front of the rock.).

Now there is a Yangshuo library beside the cave, and a "reading Pavilion" in the peach and plum garden behind the mountain.
