Baimo Cave
百魔洞
The most famous giant karst cave and sinkhole in Bama. Its main chambers are over 100 metres high and several hundred metres wide. Rare relict tree ferns grow at the bottom of the sinkhole, and the cave is praised as the 'First Cave Under Heaven'.
Baimo Cave lies west of Pofang Village in Jiazhuan Town. The Panyang River flows out through the cave. The cave consists of several huge chambers and sinkholes linked together. The largest chamber is over 100 metres high and several hundred metres wide, with stalactites and layered stone curtains. At the bottom of the sinkhole grow tree ferns, a rare living fossil plant. Because it sits above the Panyang River fault zone, it has been promoted as a place with 'geomagnetism' and 'negative oxygen ions' for health. Seasonal retirees, known locally as 'migratory birds', often sit and meditate at the entrance. Admission is about 85 yuan, including a sightseeing shuttle (confirm the price with the scenic area). Opening hours are about 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., or 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in winter. Inside, there are many steep, wet steps, so wear non-slip shoes. The cave is about 30 kilometres from the county seat and about a 10-minute drive from Changshou Village.
