Yulong Cave
鱼龙洞
An underground river cave in Qidu Town near Taiping Lake, with a cave mouth shaped like an open crocodile's jaws, where visitors can take bamboo rafts through the Four Seas and Eleven Palaces.
Yulong Cave (4A) is located in Liudu Village, Qidu Town in eastern Shitai, adjacent to Taiping Lake and about 25 km from Mount Jiuhua. Hanging stalactites at the entrance resemble teeth, and the cave mouth looks like a fish's mouth. A clear underground river runs through the cave, with depths of 0.3 to 4 meters. Visitors can walk or take a raft to see sights such as the Four Seas and Eleven Palaces. Ink-black stone on the cave walls can be used for writing. Li Shangyin and other poets once visited the cave and composed verses. It is about 40 km from the Shitai county seat and can be combined with Mount Jiuhua and Taiping Lake in one itinerary. Ticket prices are as announced by the scenic area.
