凌霄岩

A large karst cave known as the 'First Cave Palace of the South', rated as a 4A scenic area. It is over 100 m high and offers boat rides on an underground river.

Lingxiao Cave is located in Hedang Town in northern Yangchun and is the core attraction of the Yangchun National Geopark. The cave is over 100 m high and 20–60 m wide, with more than 30,000 square meters open to visitors across three levels. Stalactites, stalagmites and flowstone take many shapes. Its four marvels are Lucky Stars Shining, the Sky Crevice, the Moon Reflected in Water and the Dripping Pearls. On the lowest level, you can take a boat along an underground river more than 400 m long. The cliff faces and the cave mouth bear inscriptions carved into the rock since the Ming and Qing dynasties. A visit takes about 1.5 hours. The cave is wet and has many steps, so wear non-slip shoes. It is about 60 km from the city center and can be combined with a same-day trip to the Yuxi Three Caves.
