Bashian Cave

Bashian Cave is located in the East Coast of Taiwan in Hualien County.

Bashian Cave possesses a distinctive eroded look and is famous for ruins dating from the Old Stone Age. There are 10-plus caves on the 328-feet high precipice, each of a different size and depth. Originally the caverns were below sea level, allowing waves to shape them, but now they are located on a high cliff - proof of the East Coast's changing surface.

Famous quotes containing the word cave:

    “Nothing is uglier than the sinner, nothing so leprous or fetid; the scar of his crimes is still raw, and he stinks like the cave of Hell.”
