Isn't This a Bit Too Improper?

After repeatedly declining several guides—some immortal and sage-like, others solemn and majestic—the Stone Monkey finally arrived outside the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars.

The sight before him was simple.

A peach grove stood in full bloom, with a cave dwelling deep within the forest.

Ten characters were carved into the stone wall above the entrance.
