Huanglong Cave

Huanglong Cave extends through 15 kilometers of limestone formations, containing four levels, thirteen chambers, three waterfalls, two underground rivers, and ninety-six connected passages.

The cave's geological structures formed over 200,000 years as water eroded the limestone rock, creating an extensive network of chambers and underground waterways.

The Sea-Calming Needle, a 19-meter stalagmite formation within the cave, references the mystical weapon from the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West.

The cave maintains a constant temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, requiring visitors to bring warm clothing while exploring its 48-hectare complex over a two-hour guided tour.

The Dragon Palace Hall houses 1,705 documented stalagmites and features an underground river extending 2,820 meters, offering boat rides through the cavern system.
