The stalactites in Yuquan Cave are of various shapes, including "Blue Spring", "Silver Pillar", "Water Curtain Cave" and other unique attractions. The lighting design inside the cave is ingenious, making the limestone layers more three-dimensional, especially the scenery reflected on the water, which is like a dream.

🔸️ Subtropical underground river
The water in the cave is clear and flows slowly, making the stalactites form beautiful reflections in the water. In some areas, you can see naturally formed blue pools, like an underground secret realm.
