Daxiang (Elephant) Cave

大象洞

A large karst cave near the canyon entrance, with stalactites, an underground river and a light show. A visit takes about 1.5 hours.

Elephant Cave lies on the route between the visitor centre and Taoxi Valley and is usually bundled with the Taoxi Valley transport ticket. Inside are clusters of stalactites, stalagmites and an underground river, lit with colored lights and projections. The tour takes about 1.5 hours. There are many steps and the ground can be slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. The cave stays cool all year, so bring a light jacket in summer. You can tour it in the morning on the same day as Taoxi Valley.
