Fodor's Review:

Just outside the city, Qianlingshan Park (Qianlingshan Gongyuan) covers 740 acres. It has a bit of everything, including thousands of different species of plants and a collection of birds and monkeys (many of whom roam wild through the park). Dominating the park is a 4,265-foot-high mountain that has fine views of the town from its western peak. The Cave of the Unicorn (Qiling Dong), discovered in 1531, was used as a prison for the two Nationalist generals Yang Hucheng and Chang Hsueliang, who were accused by the Guomindang of collaborating with the Communists when Chiang Kai-shek was captured at Xian in 1937.
