Underground River of Mount Liudong
地下长河
An underground river inside Liudong Mountain near Lanxi, where boats travel roughly a kilometer through the dark waterway, with stalactite formations unfolding on both banks.
The Underground River is located in Liudong Mountain Scenic Area, about 7 km east of Lanxi city center. It is a subterranean river flowing through limestone, with a navigable section of about 1 km. Visitors ride small boats through the cave, where stalactites, stalagmites and cave curtains take on varied shapes under the lights. After landing, there are walkable cave halls. The scenic area also has other caves, including Baiyun Cave and Yongxue Cave. Admission is about 100 yuan (as published by the scenic area), and a visit takes about 1.5–2 hours. Reach it by taxi from Lanxi or Jinhua city center. The cave stays at about 15–18°C year-round, and the paths are slippery, so wear non-slip shoes.
