Yuwang Cave
禹王洞
A karst limestone cave in Xinfu District, set in Xizhou Mountain, with rich stalactite formations, said to be linked to Yu the Great's flood control.
Yuwang Cave lies in Xizhou Mountain, southeast of Xinfu District. It is a rare large limestone cave in North China, with stalagmites, stalactite curtains and cave formations in varied shapes, and the lighting brings out their many layers. According to legend, Yu the Great once moored his boat here during his flood control work, which gave the cave its name. The temperature inside stays constant year-round and it is cool in summer. Allow about 1.5 hours. The cave floor is slippery, so watch your step. It is about 30 km from Xinzhou city and must be reached by car.
