Enshi Tenglong Cave｜Explore China's Largest Cave and Watch a Live Cave Performance!

When visiting Enshi, don’t just know about the Grand Canyon! Tenglong Cave, only 4 kilometers from Lichuan city center, is Hubei’s 13th 5A scenic spot, embodying the words "majestic, mysterious, serene, and beautiful" to the core. Personally tested, it’s worth spending a whole day leisurely exploring!

Must-See Highlights

1. World-Class Cave Scale: Covering a total area of 69 square kilometers, with nearly 60 kilometers of explored length, the five-level cave system is incredibly impressive. Walking inside, you can’t help but breathe softly, afraid to disturb this "underground secret realm."
2. Core Attractions to Check In: Don’t miss the rushing underground river in the water cave and the vast, spectacular dry cave. If time allows, take a tour of Carp Cave and Cool Breeze Cave. The exclusive village and three Dragon Gates hide some niche scenic spots, perfect for photos that hardly need any editing.
3. Ethnic Performances Inside the Cave: Don’t miss the stunning live show! Performances combining Tujia and Miao ethnic cultures take place inside the cave, with the natural acoustics delivering extraordinary sound effects, leaving you full of surprises.

Practical Tips

- Address: No. 1 Tenglong Avenue, Lichuan City, Enshi Prefecture, Hubei Province
- Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM (It’s recommended to go in the morning to avoid crowds and enjoy a slow visit)
- Reminder: The temperature inside the cave is lower than outside, so even in summer, it’s advisable to bring a light jacket. Wearing comfortable shoes is important since there’s quite a bit of walking~

If you want to escape the city noise and experience nature’s masterpiece, this place will definitely refresh your understanding of "caves"!
