2022-01-13

Dragon Lady Embroidery Table is a popular feature attraction of Shihua Cave Scenic Area. This landscape belongs to stone shield, which is 1.2 meters high and 2.6 meters in diameter, and is the largest stone shield in the cave. There are as many as 220 stone shields of various sizes in Shihua Cave, so the cave is known as the "kingdom" of shields. The shield is formed by the deposition of calcium carbonate when the water under pressure in the fissure layer flows out from the fissure. It begins from the fissure mouth and grows outward in a circular shape layer by layer, forming the upper and lower two plate shield surface. If the water flow is relatively large, the water flowing out from the fissure mouth at the edge of the shield can form new stalactites and stone mantle downward again. Therefore, the landscape is named "Dragon Lady Embroidery Platform". This landscape is the seventh wonder of the cave and the fourth best in the country.
