Yuxi Three Caves
玉溪三洞
Three connected water caves formed where the Moyang River cuts through three limestone hills. Visitors ride a boat downstream and pass through the caves.
Yuxi Three Caves lies in the north of Hexu Town. The upper reaches of the Moyang River have cut through three neighboring stone hills, forming three cave chambers with a total length of about 3,000 meters. The chambers are linked by more than 200 meters of waterway, and visitors travel downstream by boat. The first cave has the 'Jinsheng Layered Springs', and the second has the 'Three Changing Rocks', which look like a fisherman from afar and a lion up close. The third cave, the 'Yuxi Grand Hall', is about 60 meters high and nearly 100 meters wide, the most magnificent of the three. It is about 70 km from the city center. The S369 road passes the scenic area, and it can be combined with Lingxiao Rock on the same day. The caves are damp, so bring warm clothing and watch your footing. Ticket prices are subject to the scenic area's announcement.
