Xiannü Palace Lava Cave
仙女宫
A lava cave on the north side of Laoheishan, with lava stalactites and flow marks visible inside and a cool breeze at the entrance.
Xiannü Palace lies on the north side of Laoheishan. It is a cave formed when lava drained out from beneath a cooled surface layer, leaving behind lava stalactites, flow marks and a skylight where the ceiling collapsed. The air inside is noticeably cooler than outside. Legend says a fairy once bathed here, which gave the cave its name. The cave is not large, and a visit takes about 30 minutes. It is often scheduled on the same day as Laoheishan, Huoshaoshan and the Shilong lava plateau. The floor is uneven, so bring a light and non-slip shoes. Opening hours follow the scenic area's published information.
