簡介

地理

石空(kong)寺(si)石窟(ku)，位于中寧縣石空(kong)西(xi)北雙龍山(shan)(shan)的南麓(lu)。雙龍山(shan)(shan)古代稱(cheng)為石空(kong)山(shan)(shan)。這(zhe)里背山(shan)(shan)面(mian)水，風(feng)景秀麗，可以說是青山(shan)(shan)綠水，非常清(qing)秀。明(ming)代楊(yang)郁有(you)詩贊曰：“古洞仰觀(guan)北擁山(shan)(shan)，洪濤俯瞰(kan)水東流(liu)，倚遍(bian)危欄情未已，淡煙衰(shuai)草(cao)夕陽(yang)中。”便是對這(zhe)里自然風(feng)貌(mao)的寫(xie)照。
