Firefly Water Cave
萤火虫水洞
Take a boat through an underground river inside a limestone cave, where firefly larvae on the ceiling glow like a starry sky.
Firefly Water Cave is in Yuandongtou Town, Yishui County, and forms part of the Firefly Water Cave Underground Grand Canyon tourist area. Visitors walk for a while, then board a small boat into an underground river. Light-emitting insect larvae roosting on the cave ceiling shine blue-green in the darkness like a starry sky, a rare cave-glow sight in China. Flash photography and loud noise are forbidden inside. Ticket prices follow the scenic area's announcements. You can combine it with the Underground Grand Canyon, and the whole trip takes about 3–4 hours.
