Guanyin Cave is located at the western foot of Mei Ling in Putuo Mountain. The cave resembles a large natural stone chamber, with a stone pillar hanging from the ceiling to the ground, and the cave’s ceiling and surrounding walls are carved with images of Guanyin. Incense smoke lingers throughout the year, and tourists and worshippers come in a continuous stream.
Adjacent to the cave, there is a hermitage. It was a thatched shed during the Ming Dynasty’s Wanli period, became a hermitage during the Qing Dynasty’s Kangxi period, and was further constructed during the reigns of Daoguang, Guangxu, and Xuantong. In 1983, a seated statue of Guanyin, with a kind gaze and solemn appearance, was carved inside the main hall by the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts.
