Linwu Cave is one of China’s oldest known karst caves, dating back over 2,000 years, featuring intricate stalactites shaped like "Dragon King’s Throne" and "Jade Maiden’s Dressing Table," each tied to legendary tales. Visitors can join the nighttime light show, where projections narrate Wuyue-era cave rituals and folk legends, creating an immersive historical journey.

Every March 3rd (lunar calendar), the annual Cave Heaven Sacrificial Ceremony takes place, blending Taoist rites with intangible cultural performances such as Suzhou Pingtan and Kunqu Opera excerpts, highlighting the cave’s spiritual significance.
