The cave covers an area of 2,000 m² (22,000 sq ft) whilst at the entrance there are densely packed Sindora glabra and Chinese redbud trees. About 5 metres (16 ft) inside the cave there is a rock formation that looks like an old woman. There are also stalactites and rocks within the cave in the shape of macaques, lions and tigers. Set into the cave wall there are two chambers that look like the cloisters of a monastery.
