Yugu Cave & Spring

鱼谷洞泉

The core of the Yesanpo Fo Dong Ta Qi Quan Guai Dong scenic area, with a 1,800-metre limestone cave spread over five levels, and a spring outside that sends up small fish around Grain Rain.

Yugu Cave lies on the east bank of the Xiao River, about 2 km east of Zishikou Village, within the Yesanpo 'Buddha Cave, Tower, Spring and Strange Cave Scenic Area'. It takes its name from peaks that look like pagodas and a Buddha figure said to be inside the cave. The cave is about 1,800 metres long and spread over five levels, with stalactites including stone flowers, cloud-basin pools and goose-neck formations. Outside, Yugu Spring is known as one of the Eight Strange Springs, and every year around Grain Rain small fish come up with the spring water. Admission is about 65 yuan. The cave stays at about 14°C year-round, so bring a jacket even in summer. The coordinates are estimated from the village's position, so search for the scenic area's name when navigating.
