The cave is a haven for spelunking enthusiasts. The water-rich place is abundant in limestones affected by carbon deposition making wonderful formations like stalactites, stalagmites, rock formations, and stone pillars.

A tale has it that Ma Yuan who was called General Fubo from the Han Dynasty had once passed by Guilin on a southern expedition. He poured all the pearls he carried into the river, so the hill was named after him in his memory.
