The natural wonder 'Lianzhou Underground River'

Experience the unique subtropical karst topography with its cave and underground river landscape at Lianzhou Underground River! Outside the cave, the rain pours down, but inside it maintains a constant temperature of 18°C all year round. The sinkhole and underground river feature slow-moving stone waterfalls and stone flowers. The cave entrance is very deep, and the tour takes more than an hour. Once inside, it's not as big as imagined. The walk is 1.8 kilometers, and the boat ride is 1.5 kilometers. There's no turning back; at the exit, there's a place selling Polygonatum glutinous rice wine, giving a real feeling of returning to the human world after a journey through time.!! Lianzhou Underground River National AAAAA Scenic Area, hailed as a 'Chinese cave river wonder'. The upper and middle layers of the cave are terrestrial, while the lower layer is an underground river. The cave is filled with all kinds of strange stalactites, stalagmites, stone columns, and stone mantles. The temperature inside the cave remains around 18°C throughout the year, with fresh air, warm in winter and cool in summer. After visiting the underground river in May 1988, the famous writer Qin Mu was inspired to write the travelogue 'The Mysterious and Magnificent Underground River'. The waterfall section of the underground river is so stunning, and listening to the guide's explanations along the way is very interesting! 📍Detailed address: Dadong Village, Dongbei Town, Lianzhou City, Qingyuan 🚗Traffic strategy: Self-driving is recommended 🕙Opening hours: 8:30 - 17:00 (Golden Week 7:30 -- 18:00) 💰Ticket price: Adults 118 yuan, children and seniors 60 yuan, online booking is more cost-effective. 🌟Highlights: The Lianzhou Underground River is located in Dadong Village, Dongbei Town, Lianzhou City, Guangdong Province, nestled among the lofty mountains at the junction of Guangxi, Hunan, and Guangdong provinces.
