The Lama Cave is located on the western edge of the Xishan Mountain Forest Scenic Area, about 1,000 meters away from the mountain gate. The cave site is 1,350 meters above sea level. It is backed by mountain peaks and faces the Luanhe River. Mountain ridges extend forward on both sides. The diameter of the cave is 5 meters and the depth of the cave is 3 meters. Legend has it that there was a man in the Ming Dynasty who had been in poor health for a long time. He always felt dizzy, had a tightness in his chest, and had difficulty breathing. Many famous local doctors were invited, but no one could cure his illness. He started to get upset, and he thought to himself, this is a painless disease, but when will it end?
On this day, he walked down the mountain gloomily and sat by a river. He saw that the river was flowing so freely, but he couldn't breathe. He was so angry that he broke off from the river. A wicker whipped the water surface violently. Due to the excessive force, he gasped for air. After taking a few breaths, he suddenly felt that his mind was clear and he was no longer holding his breath.
From then on, he went to the river to sit for a while every day. He wanted to cure his illness through the aura of the river.
One day in autumn, he came to the river again. Before he could stand firm, he suddenly heard whimpering sounds coming from behind the mountain. He turned around and followed the crying, waiting for him. When I walked up to him, I saw an old man who was over sixty years old. His hands and feet were chained to a big tree with a thick iron chain. He asked: "Elder! Who has kept you here?" The elder said: "It's my unfilial son." He said: "How can I save you?" The elder said: "You use the leaves on the mountain to grill the iron chain. When will it burn out, when will I be saved?" After listening to the elder's words, he ignored his physical weakness and panted. A lot of leaves were gathered from the ground. Under the guidance of the elder, the leaves were set on fire and burned for three days and three nights. When more than 200 piles of leaves were burned, there was only a crunching sound and all the iron chains were broken. The elder took his hand and said: "Young man, I have been instructed by the immortal. Whoever opens this chain will be my son-in-law. Are you willing to marry my beautiful daughter?" Elder, I have been ill for a long time and cannot take my wife. "Don't worry, young man, your illness will be cured soon..."
On the eighth day of August, the great lama in the county said to him when he was seeing a doctor: "You and I We have a destiny in Buddhism. Let’s cultivate in the future and recite sutras!” As he spoke, he gave him a string of Mani beads. He especially liked this rosary. Later, he began to practice reciting sutras. Soon, his illness was really cured. The elder happily married his eldest daughter to him, and they had three sons and one daughter.
In the summer of the year when he was 50 years old, he sat on the mountain, twisting mani beads, chanting sutras, and herding cattle. When he opened his eyes after reciting the sutra with his eyes closed, the cows grazed and walked away. He hurriedly went to drive the cows and dropped the mani beads on the ground. However, before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly heard a loud noise. There was a noise, and when he looked back, he saw a little white rabbit holding his Mani beads and running calmly behind him. When he looked, his beloved Mani beads were taken away by the little white rabbit, and behind him Hot pursuit. When he caught up with him, the little white rabbit suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes. He leaned down and looked around the place where the little white rabbit disappeared. He looked around and found a hole, so he got in without hesitation. After entering, he found that there was only a stone table in the empty cave. There was a string of shining objects on the stone table. When he got closer, he saw that it was his Mani beads. He reached out to grab it but failed to catch it. He carefully placed it on the stone table. I searched the stone table and found that the Mani Pearl was indeed missing. There was only a book in the shining place just now. He opened it and saw that it was a book about divination, medical treatment, and Zen practice, with a handwriting tucked into the pages. "I am an elder from Qianshan. I came here to practice Taoism to avoid the war between Yuan soldiers. However, the Taoism has not yet been completed. The candle will be extinguished. Those who come after the book will continue to practice Taoism. There is a lot of teaching here." After reading it, he felt that in his dream He had also seen these words before, and only then did he realize the true meaning of his destiny with Buddhism. So, he meditated and practiced Taoism all day long, and when he was hungry, he would go out to dig wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger. He finally passed away here. Therefore, people say that Lama Cave is a geomantic treasure, hence the name Lama Cave. Tai Chi Bay is located opposite the Lama Cave. The sandy bay waters naturally formed by the Luan River system are shaped like the Bagua Tai Chi pattern. The bay shape forms an "S" shaped bay around the Luan River water, forming a Taoist "Tai Chi" pattern. Natural landform wonders. The bend of the river is in the "Natural Tai Chi Diagram". The sand bay in the north and the sand bay in the south form two fish-shaped patterns, just like the "Yin and Yang" figures in the "Tai Chi Diagram". This is a unique landform formed during the development of the Luanhe River system. However, due to the historical and cultural development, this "natural Tai Chi map" has the "Lama Cave" to the west, the First Luanhe River Bridge to the south, and the Seven Star Altar to the east. The people of London have given it many stories and legends.
One of the legends: When observing Feng Shui, a Taoist pointed out that this river is like the jade belt worn by the emperor. Some "grass bandits and grass kings" will appear here and bring disaster to the place, so it must be disconnected from the main mountain. To ensure peace. So people came to dig the mountain, but it was always broken and restored tomorrow. One evening, a man returned home from work and returned to the construction site halfway to look for the lost tobacco bag. Suddenly he heard someone's voice underground: "They have dug up my toes!" The man immediately ran back to the village and asked everyone to dig up the mountain overnight. At dawn, the mountain was finally dug through, and a stream of red muddy water gushes out of the ground. At this time, a family of five twin brothers in red, yellow, blue, black, and white bodies in a nearby village also died at the same time. It's been peaceful ever since. After the mountain was broken up, a circular Tai Chi pattern was formed, and the Luan River flowed in from the middle, which is called "Tai Chi flowing water".
Another legend is that the third prince of the Erhai Dragon King of Dali ran away because he was blamed by his father. After coming to this round paozi, he felt that it was very suitable to live here, so he settled here, but once he arrived, During the rainy season, the upstream floods brought a lot of sediment and debris. Prince Long felt it was very unclean, so he moved to the east paozi, which formed a natural lake - the Seven Star Altar. "Taiji Bay" is 580 meters long from east to west and 880 meters long from north to south. The first bridge on the Luanhe River - the suspension bridge, is located in the upper reaches of the Luanhe River, 400 meters east of the reception center of the Luanheyuan National Forest Park, connecting the east and west banks. It has made many tourists linger and enjoy it, and it is one of the attractions of the Luanheyuan National Forest Park.
The first bridge on the Luanhe River - the suspension bridge is 105 meters long and 1 meter wide. The bridge decks are connected with elm boards and traversed by iron cables. The suspension bridge has a history of more than 600 years. It was originally made of iron bars and wooden boards. After several repairs, it is now made of steel wire rope wooden boards. The shape is basically the original shape.

After winning a great victory, he returned to the dynasty, not wanting to contract dysentery and illness in the Xilin Gol Prairie. Difficult. It was July at this time, the red sun was scorching on the grassland, and the heat was unbearable. Zhu Di ordered to find a place with pleasant scenery and cool temperature to stay and recuperate temporarily, so he chose Yumuchuan. Due to the pleasant climate and beautiful scenery of Yumuchuan, Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, used this place as a summer resort for his concubines during the hot season every year. At that time, the flow of the Luanhe River was rapid, the two banks of the river were far apart, and the scenery on both banks was unique. In order to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river, Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and his concubines ordered the craftsmen to build the first bridge on the Luanhe River - the suspension bridge. Yumuchuan Scenic Area is located in Sandaogou Forest Farm, more than 30 kilometers away from the county seat (15 kilometers away from Xishan Bay Scenic Area). It is in the process of applying for a "National Forest Park" and is a natural scenic spot to be developed.
The Yumuchuan is a rare natural elm forest in Asia. It forms a narrow forest belt along the river bank, also known as the Ten Thousand Mu Yumuchuan. On the Xilin Gol prairie with few trees, Duolun's abundant water source nourishes the dense forest. The terrain in the forest is relatively flat, and quiet and beautiful elm trees stand silently in it. Due to the dense trees, abundant water resources, and the altitude of more than 1,400 meters, the Yumuchuan Scenic Area has formed a unique microclimate. In summer, even if the weather gets hotter, the natural elm canopies are connected to block the sun. The sunlight can only shine in through the layers of covered canopies, making the climate in the forest cool and pleasant. In the shady gullies, there is a perennial Ice. Luanyuandian Tourist Resort is located in the southeast of Duolun County, on the south bank of Dahekou Reservoir, 15 kilometers away from Duolun County, near the source of Luanhe River, and connected end to end with Xishan Bay Scenic Area, echoing each other from a distance. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, has a humid climate and a pleasant environment. It is a grassland summer resort mainly developed by man.

The Dahekou reservoir area, known as the "No. 1 Dam in Luanshang", is rich in crucian carp, carp, silver carp, grass carp, catfish, Wuchang fish, large whitebait, etc. Walking up the reservoir for more than 10 miles, you will reach the intersection of the Black Wind River and the Lightning River. From this intersection, it is called the Luan River. This is why the scenic spot is named "Luanyuan Hall".
There are many opinions about where the source of the Luanhe River is. Li Daoyuan, a geographer from the Northern Wei Dynasty, came here to investigate the origin of the Luan River and found that it was the conservation area of ??the main water source in the upper reaches. He recorded the conclusion in the "Shui Jing Zhu". The historical atlas of China refers to this area as Luanyuan.
Luanyuan Hall: Luanyuan Hall is a giant yurt in the center of the yurt complex with ethnic characteristics. A plaque with the name "Luanyuan Hall" hangs on the yurt.

Due to a difficult-to-treat disease (it is said that he was infected with dysentery), he finally died in Yumuchuan. In the midsummer month of July, Zhu Di's body was well preserved and transported to the capital. The reason was that the body of Ming Chengzu was preserved by cooling it with ice cubes in the ditch behind Yumuchuan. The coffin went in front and was transported closely behind. The ice-fast horse team and a steady stream of ice cubes were transported in this way to ensure that Zhu Di's bones were transported to the capital without decay.
Most of the elm trees in Yumuchuan are more than a hundred years old. Due to natural formation, the shapes of the trees also have their own characteristics. There are "lovers' trees" twisted together and "couple trees" nestled next to big trees. "Mother and Child Tree", with various shapes and forms.
