Inside the Cold Cave, upon reaching the gully's entrance, the first thing that catches your eye is a delicate little corner pavilion called the "Thinking of Husband Pavilion," a symbol of Wang Baochuan's longing for her husband's return from her perch. Passing the pavilion and continuing south, you'll find the five-room hall known as the "Chastity Hall" at the foot of the cliff. Its magnificent blue bricks, green tiles, carved beams, and painted rafters create a magnificent atmosphere. Inside, you'll find colorful statues of Wang Baochuan and Xue Pinggui, as well as a statue of Xue Pinggui subduing his red-maned horse before heading off to battle. Continuing along this path, through a circular brick gate, you'll enter the ancient courtyard of the Cold Cave.
