It is expected to start exploring the cave and playing games in the cave at 10:00.


Cave Hiking: This is an experience that demands your full attention! Challenge yourself to the varying heights of the cave, whether it's a towering church or concert hall with a ceiling soaring overhead, or a narrow tunnel where you'll need to bend over or even crawl to get through. Uncover the secrets of the Earth that stretch back thousands of years, and learn about cave formations, rock formations, stalactite formations, hydrology, and morphology.


Darkness Invasion: The cave horror film Darkness Invasion is a unique horror film. In the dark cave, all lights are turned off, and the pure darkness brings a special experience to people; it inspires the courage to face the unknown.


Cave Fluorescent Dance: A million-year-old cave, now a nightclub! Fluorescent light illuminates the primordial darkness, and dance steps resonate with ancient echoes. This isn't a disco, it's a civilizational reboot! Warning: This may awaken dormant caveman DJs.


Cave Movie: I thought the caves were just bare rocks, but once inside, I discovered a whole world of hidden gems! It turns out there's so much more to explore! Watch a movie with the instructor, learn about cave formations, and listen to all sorts of strange noises in the pitch-black darkness... This is a unique and pristine cave movie experience in China.

1.Why didn’t I receive a text message notification after registering?

2. What if it rains during the event?

2-3 days before the event, we will decide whether to proceed with the event based on the weather forecast and route conditions. Please pay attention to our notifications. Most activities can proceed as usual even if there is light rain. There is still fun to be had on rainy days. If heavy rain is forecast, the event will be cancelled and a full refund will be given.

3. Is this route crowded?

Most of our routes are natural and niche, with relatively small traffic. Of course, it also depends on the registration situation of each session. Generally, ordinary buses are 38-seater buses, and a few large buses are 50-seater buses. Each bus has a certain proportion of team leaders to ensure the quality of the activities.

Fangshan Hidden Cave is a natural, pristine cavern with four parallel layers totaling 664 meters. The temperature inside the cave remains constant at 16-18 degrees Celsius year-round, unaffected by weather conditions. The cave's interior is complex and ever-changing, with narrow passages and low areas requiring climbing or crawling, adding to the fun of the adventure. If you're lucky, you might spot the cave's non-aggressive inhabitants, bats.

Our professional team of instructors boasts 20 years of combined caving experience and 17 years of experience leading tours. They have participated in the Sino-French joint expedition to Shuanghe Karst Cave and led Decathlon outdoor courses. They have been invited to teach outdoor knowledge at numerous schools, including the Beijing Renmin University High School Chaoyang School. They are co-founders of Beijing Cave Exploration and promoters of children's caving, as well as safety and technical training instructors at the National Emergency Search and Rescue Center and experts in wilderness survival education. Safety instruction is provided throughout the entire trip, along with professional outdoor equipment. Safety is paramount.
