Situated in the west of Huainan City, 30 km from the downtown area, the tourism zone was originally built in the reign of Emperor Jingdi (156-43 BC) of the Western Han Dynasty.

Legend has it that three brothers by the surname of Mao performed penance here and later became immortals, hence the name Maoxian (Mao Immortals) Cave.
