The Sanxian Cave[1] (Chinese: 三仙洞), or Sanxian Dong,[2] literally meaning 'Three Fairies Cave',[3] is a limestone cave located in Sanjiaoyan Village, Mengga Town, Mangshi City, Yunnan Province.[4] The folklore says that the Cave was named after the three immortals who discovered it and lived in it for a long time.[5]
The Sanxian Cave was formed in the Late Permian, more than 2.7 million years ago.[6] There are stalagmites, stalactites, stone pillars, stone mantles, stone flowers and other landscapes distributed in the cave.[7]
