Binghu Cave
冰壶洞
A vertical-shaft karst cave above Shuanglong Cave, with an underground waterfall about 20 meters high that plunges and roars inside.
Binghu Cave lies on the hillside above Shuanglong Cave, with its opening facing the sky. Visitors descend several dozen meters of steep stone steps to enter. Inside, a waterfall about 20 meters tall pours down from the cave ceiling, a rare sight in China. The cave walls are covered with stalactites, and the name 'Ice Pitcher' refers to the misty, cool atmosphere within. It is usually visited together with Shuanglong Cave on a combined ticket (subject to official announcements). It is about a 15-minute uphill walk from Shuanglong Cave. The stone steps inside are wet and steep, so non-slip shoes are essential, and those with knee problems should be cautious. Chaozhen Cave nearby can be visited along the way.
