Encounter wild Yunnan golden monkeys in Bodhidharma Cave.

📍Address of the attraction: Bodhidharma Patriarch Cave is located on the cliff of Bodhidharma Mountain (Ahailuo Mountain), about 6 kilometers northwest of Qizong Administrative Village, Tacheng Township, Weixi Lisu Autonomous County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. 🚗 Transportation to attractions: Self-driving is recommended [One] Self-driving: Navigate to the Bodhidharma Patriarch Cave in Tacheng Township, Weixi County. You will see two roads that can go up and down from both ends of the mountain. The road is very narrow and requires some driving experience. There are bends and ups and downs in the mountainous area. Please drive safely. [Two] Public transportation: First arrive at Weixi County, then take the local bus to Tacheng Township. The distance from Tacheng Township to Bodhidharma Cave is relatively close, so you can find a local vehicle to take you there. 👍️Must-see attractions: [One] Experience circumambulating the mountain: Circumambulating the mountain is an important religious activity and a unique experience in Bodhidharma Cave. The circumambulation route for devout people starts from the cave entrance and goes around the top of the mountain, a distance of about 3 kilometers. You can enjoy beautiful natural scenery along the way. [Two] Mountain wall architectural landscape: The buildings of Bodhidharma Cave are built according to the mountain wall. Stones are chiseled and wood is stacked to form a temple, forming a unique landscape where the stone cave and the temple are integrated into one. The red walls and yellow tiles are magnificent, and the murals and carvings in the temple are lifelike and well worth appreciating. [Three] Visit the cultural relics: There are religious relics such as the image of Bodhidharma facing the wall, footprints, Tibetan inscriptions, monks’ tombs, murals, etc. in the cave, as well as the holy relics of Bodhidharma’s “stamping his feet to form a depression” and the remains of Bodhidharma and his disciples. Relics, stupas, etc., carry rich historical and cultural connotations. [Four] Encountering the Yunnan Golden Monkey: Lucky to see it 🎟️Ticket information: Bodhidharma Cave is currently open to the public free of charge 💗Other tips: Weixi County is a plateau area with changeable weather. The road to Bodhidharma Cave may become very slippery due to rainy days, so be sure to pay attention to driving and walking safety. [!] According to local people, the Yunnan golden monkey lives in the mountains and forests. It is wild and it is very lucky to encounter it.
