Lianzhou Underground River

Located in Dadong village, about 26 kilometers northeast of Lianzhou city, Lianzhou Underground River is Famous for its subtropical karst (dissolved rock) cave and the underground river flowing inside it. Lianzhou Underground River scenic area is a well known summer resort boasting stunning landscapes, moderate temperatures and fresh air throughout the year.
Lianzhou Underground River hides amid a giant Karst cave consisting of three layers. Going along the zigzag and undulating path on the first layer, one could see various configurations of stalactites: Milei Buddha, Guangong, Mengjiangnv, and other lifelike animals as well as vivid characters in the legends.  Layer upon layer stalactite is like terraced fields winding in the two banks of Xianrenhe River with beautiful and zigzag shape. The landscape is very similar to Huanglong (yellow dragon) in Sichuan Province).
Then walk down the lower layer, visitors can see an underground river endlessly extending to the cave. If you go ahead by boat along the dark river, you can see the zigzagging riverway widening one moment, narrowing the next. The narrowest place is just 1.6 meters, and you can touch the stalactite if you raise your hands. On the way, you will pass through Xiangjiao Valley, Lianhua Valley and Longmen Valley, and appreciate the various configurations of stalactites on both sides. Some is like waterfall hanging up in the sky; some is like lush and green mountain forest; some is like flyer and beats. The whole journey is last for 1.500 meters and through four peaks.
Seen from below, the roof of the cave resembles the immense night sky, while the light reflecting off the stone curtains is just like millions of stars sparkling in the sky; a truly breathtaking sight.
