Why was it built? || According to the legend, the stone pillar in the grotto is the Dragon King's magic needle, used as a weapon by the Monkey King in the popular Chinese fable and novel "Journey to the West."

The highlight is the cavernous Crystal Palace of the Dragon King (Shuijing Gong) with a dense collection of limestone mounds reflected in pools of water, all lit by hundreds of colored lights. Despite the blatantly tacky artifice of it all, most visitors can't help but gasp at the scene before them. || =2= || ﻿(N.D.
