Taiji Cave
太极洞
Billed as the “Number One Cave in Jiangnan,” this large karst cave is filled with striking stalactites and lets visitors ride a boat through an underground river. It is a national 4A-rated scenic area.
Taiji Cave is located in Xinhang Town in the northeast of Guangde, where Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces meet. The cave system stretches more than 5,400 metres and has multiple levels above and below. Inside, stalactites, stalagmites and cave curtains take on a rich variety of shapes, with formations such as Taishang Laojun, Inverted Lingzhi and Mini Huangshan. Its signature experience is riding a small boat through the underground river. The cave stays around 18°C year-round, making it the top choice for escaping the summer heat. Admission is about RMB 70. Discounts are often available with a recent high-speed rail ticket and other offers, so check the official announcement. Opening hours are roughly 08:00–17:00. Allow about 2 hours for the visit. The cave is slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. It is about a 40-minute drive from Guangde city centre.
