Yeren Cave
野人洞
A two-level karst cave beside National Highway 209, with unusual stalactites and clear underground streams. Legend says a “wild man” once lived here.
Yeren Cave is located in Duchuan Village, Yeren Valley Town, in Fangxian County, right beside National Highway 209. It is the core of the national 4A-level Yeren Valley–Yeren Cave Tourist Area. The cave has two levels, dubbed the “5 halls, 5 palaces and 59 scenic sights.” Stalactites, stalagmites and an underground river intertwine inside, and the cave stays at about 14°C year-round. Inscriptions about the “Yeren” (wild man) are carved on the cliff face at the entrance. Admission is about 60 yuan, and the cave is open roughly 08:00 to 18:00. The interior is slippery, and some sections require climbing iron ladders, so wear non-slip shoes. It can be visited on the same day as the Shennong Grand Canyon and Yeren Valley.
