The Yellow Dragon Cave alias a cave with doors or flying dragon cave hides itself deeply at the north foot of the Qixia Hill. Abnormal cliffs tower over deep valleys, and it is an ideal cradle for the Taoists to meditate for hidden meanings of lives. The centerpiece of the scenic attraction is a limpid pond with rockwork and pavilions perching beside. On the perpendicular wall of a cliff is a sculpted dragon head. The dragon looks dignified and mighty with its eyes popping out and nose facing skyward and whiskers arching upward. Then out of its open mouth pours out a stream of tiny waterfall, vanishing into the pond, splashing up harmoniously musical notes. Some craggy rocks stand in the pond, hinting at the opening sentence of a popular ancient prose by Liu Yuxi, a famed poet in the Tang Dynasty. The prose begins with "the water is full of magic if there is a dragon in it no matter whether the water is shallow or not." The tourist attraction has become an antique style theme park. Being located at the foot of the Qixia Hill, the site is covered by bamboo groves spreading all over the hilly slopes. All the paths are inside green bamboo shadows. Bamboo leaves whisper when a breeze moves through. Bamboo shoots germinate in early April drizzle. When the sun shines, the young shoots come out almost everywhere. Now at the foot of a wall covered with lichen, now by a zigzagging path, now on the slanting slope in a big way, now in the back garden. Some of them push away heavy stones on their way out of the dark wet soil. Some of them stand in twos and threes, vying each other for more sunshine and space.
