Longlin Palace Cave
龙鳞宫
A karst cave scenic area on the western outskirts of Enshi, where stalactites crowd the walls like dragon scales. Boats take visitors along an underground river. It is close to the city, making it ideal for a half-day trip.
Longlin Palace Cave lies about 8 km west of central Enshi. It is a multi-level karst cave filled with stalagmites, stalactite curtains and rock cascades. The cave walls resemble dragon scales, which gave the cave its name. Some sections allow boat rides along the underground river, and the whole route is lit. A visit takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, and admission follows the official notice. A taxi from downtown takes about 20 minutes, and the cave can be visited on the same day as Enshi Tusi City. The cave is slippery and about 16°C inside, so wear non-slip shoes and bring a jacket.
