Taiji Cave, Natural limestone cave in Guangde, China
Taiji Cave is a natural limestone cave in Guangde with interior chambers extending several kilometers and containing numerous rock formations and geological features. The cave has nineteen accessible chambers for visitors, including areas for walking exploration and sections reached by boat through water-filled passages.
The cave served as a refuge for a historical emperor during the early centuries around the start of the Common Era. This early use by an important figure made it a notable place in local history.
The cave's name refers to the balance between yin and yang, reflected in its wet and dry sections that visitors can experience as they move through different chambers. Each area has its own character and appearance, shaped by water and stone over time.
Access to the cave is provided through a cable car system that brings visitors to the entrance. Wear appropriate footwear and be prepared for both walking passages and boat rides through the water sections.
The first chamber of the cave is one of the largest natural limestone chambers in East China, covering about 1600 square meters with ceiling heights varying between 5 and 10 meters. This vast initial space creates an impressive sense of scale when visitors enter.
