Baohuang Cave

Baohuang Cave (抱黄洞) on Yuelu Mountain.

According to the weathered and faded signs, it is sacred to the Taoists because Zhang Baohuang (张抱黄) and Deng Yu (邓郁) studied and ascended to heaven here. There were once Taoist monasteries nearby, and later a pavilion, but they have long been destroyed. Another folktale recalls a snake lived here and stretched its tongue to form a bridge to trick its victims. The snake was killed by Tao Kan and the Fairy Crane.
