Xueyu Cave

Xueyu Cave, Solutional cave in Fengdu County, Chongqing, China.

Xueyu is a 1,644 m long solutional cave in Fengdu County, Chongqing, of which 1,161 m have been explored. It is spread over three levels and is China's only pure-white, jade-like cave, still growing through erosion of the surrounding karst. Its passages hold the 8 m Stone King's Flag and the 4 m Stone King's Shield, the largest of their kind in the world, along with extensive coral formations.

Snowy Jade Cave lies in Fengdu County, Chongqing, near the Yangtze River, within the National Three Gorges Scenic Area, and holds National 4A Scenic Area status. Its passages run 1,644 m in total, of which 1,161 m have been explored, arranged over three levels. The cave is still growing as erosion works on the surrounding karst, and its white formations are described as China's only pure-white, jade-like example.

The name Xueyu means "snow jade", describing the pure-white calcite that gives the cave its colour; it is China's only cave of this white, jade-like kind. The cave lies in Fengdu County, Chongqing, near the Yangtze River, within the National Three Gorges Scenic Area and rated a National 4A Scenic Area.
