Inside are abundant stalactites, stalagmites, columns and draperies, many in striking shapes, lit with colored lights and promoted as the “No. 1 Cave of Lingnan.” Outside are forests and lakes, and the area has sightseeing buses, walking trails and leisure facilities. A visit takes about 1.5–2 hours. Admission is charged, as published by the scenic area. Getting there: about 15–20 minutes by taxi from Yingde Station, and it can be combined with the Yingxi Peak Forest or the Yingde tea gardens on the same day.
