Baxian Cave Visitor Center Introduction
The Eight Immortals Cave, which features both geological landscapes and prehistoric sites, is located on a cliff facing the sea in Chengbin Township, Taitung County. It has a natural formation of more than ten sea-eroded caves. These caves were originally at sea level but are now scattered across a cliff 150 meters high due to the uplifting process of the geological formation along the East Coast, where ocean waves eroded the softer parts of the rock face. Eight Immortals Cave currently has a trail leading to various sea-eroded caves, with the largest being Lingyan Cave; the highest above ground is Kunlun Cave, which is 130 meters tall. Other caves include Jianyuan Cave, Zhaocheng Cave, Hailai Cave, Chaoyin Cave, Yong'an Cave, and Shuilian Cave. Many of the caves have been converted to shrines, causing their names to often carry religious connotations.
