Zhashui Karst Caves
柞水溶洞
A karst cave cluster in the heart of the Qinling Mountains, where Foye Cave, Tiandong, Fengdong and others display stalactites, stalagmites and curtain formations in striking variety.
Zhashui Karst Caves lie about 13 km south of Zhashui County seat, in Shiweng Town. More than 100 caves have been discovered, and several, including Foye Cave, Tiandong, Fengdong, Baishen Cave and Yunwu Cave, are open to visitors. Inside, stalactites, stalagmites, columns and curtain formations take on remarkable shapes, earning the site the name 'Karst Wonder of the North.' Outside, the Qinling Mountains and the Qianyou River valley offer fresh mountain air. The scenic area holds a national 4A rating. A full visit takes about 2 to 3 hours, with plenty of steps to climb and slippery cave floors, so non-slip shoes are a must. Xi'an is about 1.5 hours away. Check the official notice for ticket prices.
