Only 30 minutes from Yangshuo town, then spend about 2-2.5 hours exploring the cave. This is a relaxed and easygoing cave adventure.
Front Cave
The adventure starts immediately with a 200-meter water passage. Cold air rushes in, temperatures drop fast, and water rises to your knees. Look closely and you might spot transparent blind fish and shrimp drifting through the darkness.
Middle Cave (The Core Experience)
This is where it gets intense. Steep stairs, towering stalactites, stone curtains, and massive cave formations surround you. At one point, all lights are switched off, plunging you into complete darkness — no sound, no light, just the cave.
The route continues over calcified pools and through tight, narrow passages. Bat nests appear overhead. This section also serves as the emergency exit.
Underground River
Turn left and you enter the underground river route. You’ll wade upstream through tall, narrow tunnels, unsure what lies ahead. Progress can be slow, paths may narrow, and the darkness feels endless — but the route is controlled and led by experienced guides. Just keep moving forward.
