It is a narrow valley which is ringed on three sides by mountains, and one side uses a small stream as the export. The hole is about 2 or 3 km long and 0.5 km wide. Because the valley is deep and quiet, it looks like a hole and spring water flows from the rock, so it is called “Dripping Water Cave “.
