Chaoyang Phoenix Mountain, Inverted Guanyin Cave

Walking along the wooden walkway to the end, you will see an elephant and a baby elephant outside the walkway. The baby elephant is very small and is blocked by the big elephant 😁
.
These two elephants should be the symbols of Jixiang Lake, right 🧐 After turning left, you will complete a circle and finish touring Jixiang Lake.
.
Before leaving Jixiang Lake, you will pass through a pavilion. The wind here is very cool, just like the three characters 'Yufeng Pavilion' seen at the end of the pavilion 😊
.
Next to Yufeng Pavilion, there is a small cave. Judging by the statue placed beside it, it should be the Laomu Cave, but I don't know which Laomu it refers to 🧐
.
After leaving that small cave, I continued to explore along the road ahead. A lush green scene suddenly appeared before my eyes 🧐
.
Later, at the fork in the road on the right, I discovered another amazing view. Halfway up, there is a pavilion with a Guanyin statue placed inside. On the rock wall behind it, there is a large character for 'Buddha' 🧐
.
I stayed in the pavilion for a while and was about to go down because I thought the Guanyin statue marked the top of this fork. But then I found there was still a path above, leading to another surprising view: the Inverted Guanyin Cave 🧐
.
However, I don't quite understand the meaning of this name. It's called the Inverted Guanyin Cave, but the Guanyin statue inside is not inverted. Could there be another meaning 🧐
.
For now, I won't dwell on things I can't figure out. Turning back to this open area, I look at the distant mountains. It seems I can see the large Guanyin statue on the mountain top opposite. That's also the place I'm heading to next 😊
