open access
Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands are a unique Taoist conceptual system of sacred places in China. These sacred spaces, located in spectacular and abundant landscapes where immortals dwell in legend, reflect the Taoist worldviews about the balance of nature, society, and belief in immortality. The system was first recorded in the 2nd century and came to maturity in the 7th century, during which 118 locations across China were established by 2 Taoist masters as the official components of the system. This system had a profound impact on rituals, literature, painting, and gardening art in China and other countries in East Asia. Taoists have kept these places as spiritual and natural sanctuaries for over 1,000 years. In the context of a Feasibility Study for the Nomination of "Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands: Cultural Landscape of Taoist Worldview" on to the World Heritage List, this article aims to give a brief introduction and analysis of the sacredness of the Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands.
