🌊 Yingde Jiuchongtian Karst Cave! Double thrill with a karst maze + canyon rafting!
An underground palace hidden in the Yingxi Peak Forest! The stalactites look stunning under the lights like special effects, and the second half plunges straight into canyon rafting, super refreshing and exciting!
🚗 Travel Tips:
📍 Address: 500 meters north of Laohugu Valley on County Road 366, Huanghua Town, Yingxi Peak Forest Jiuchongtian
Self-driving is very convenient! 2.5 hours direct from Guangzhou, parking at the scenic area costs 10 RMB/day
🎢 Must-Do Route:
1️⃣ Jiuchongtian Karst Cave Exploration
A 1.5 km long karst wonder! Follow the guide to see five major check-in spots like the "Dragon King's Throne" and "Millennium Ganoderma," with a constant cool temperature of 18°C inside the cave
📸 Photo spot: Silhouette shots in front of the Crystal Curtain Waterfall are amazing!
2️⃣ Laohugu Valley Dark River Rafting
Go straight from the cave into the canyon! The 5 km river has both rapid and calm sections, with the last 800 meters through a dark river section that’s super thrilling
