This restaurant near Sanyou Cave above the Chang Jiang river in Hubei, China looks quite impressive. Not sure if I’d be able to have a proper meal knowing there’s absolutely nothing underneath my table. But if you feel like going there when you’re on a trip and in that region of China please use this info:
Once you leave the Xiling Gorge Three Gorges you should definitely go to the east of the Yangtze River. There you will find a cave of “Three Visits” (Sanyou Cave) on the northern bank of the River. The cave is located 10 kilometers from the city of Yichang. Its great mountains, beautiful rivers, and charming landscapes look like giant paintings. “Three Visits Cave” is located in a deep valley, it is warm in winter and cool in summer with a big and beautiful landscape scenery. The cave is about 30 meters wide and about 9 meters in height. Inside the cave, there are many stalactites and stalagmites on the walls and on the floor. The main cave is divided into two chambers. The chamber near the front is a wide and bright “room”, along the walls there are more than 40 stone masterpiece paintings. Tablets with poems and prose of famous poets, when they travel to this area can still be found. Among them are the inscriptions of Ou Yangxiu, the greatest writer of the Song Dynasty (960 ~ 1279A.D.) and Bo Ju, one of the great poet of the Tang Dynasty (618 ~ 907A.D.). The other chamber is dark and deep with a lot a lot of strange stalactites. If you throw a stone at those stalactites, you can hear the echo sound of a bell, but when the rock falls into the water you can hear the echo sound of the drum. This is one reason, this cave became a tourist attraction. Spring Yu (“Jade Spring”) near the Cave of the Three Travelers is another tourist attractions. Yu Spring is famous for its clean and elegant decor sources. This spring, has earned its reputation and is one of the four best scenic spots three Qi Xia Kitaya.Drugie Temple Nanjing Temple Mount Lingyan. Taishan and Mt. Tiantai. Today, dear reader, you can often find the names of four places in the ancient poems. If you start your tour from the city of Yichang, Three Travellers Cave and Ge Zhou dam are beautiful places that should not be ignored. It is well known that you cannot spend less than a day touring these places. But to keep going you need food. A restaurant has been built next to the Sanyou cave. It is located high up, but the view from there is simply magnificent. So be sure, that you won’t be hungry there
