Xianren Cave is one of the scenic spots in Lushan Mountain. It is located under the "Buddha's Hand Rock" at the southern end of Jinxiu Valley. In the Qing Dynasty, Buddha's Hand Rock became a Taoist paradise and was renamed Xianren Cave. This cave is about 10 meters high and deep. There is a clear spring dripping in the deep, named "One Drop Spring". It is said that this drop of spring water has not dried up for thousands of years. There is a pool under the spring, surrounded by stone railings. There are stone inscriptions such as "Dongtian Jade Liquid" on the wall of the cave. It is said that the sword fairy among the Eight Immortals practiced Taoism and became an immortal here. Whenever the clouds and mist are lingering, it suddenly adds a bit of fairy air.
There is a stone moon gate on the left side of the Xianren Cave, and the three big characters "Xianren Cave" are engraved on the lintel. Inside the moon gate, there is a huge stone that looks like a toad, named "Toad Stone", and there is a strong pine tree standing upright with a stone, called "Stone Pine". The stone has large characters on it, "Overview of the flying clouds" and "Suddenly connected", and there are clouds flying under the stone, as if entering a fairyland. Under the Guanmiao Pavilion on the right side of the cave, there is a Youxian Stone that is larger than the Toad Stone and protrudes into the air. Under the stone is a deep abyss, which is extremely dangerous. From here, you can see the Jinxiu Valley. There is a bamboo forest next to the Youxian Stone.
