Longyou Caves

The Longyou Grottoes were the second stop on our Longyou trip, located in Xiaonanhai Town, Longyou County, hence also known as the Xiaonanhai Stone Chambers. They are listed as a key national cultural heritage site in the seventh batch. We visited the Longyou Grottoes more than ten years ago, but this time, the development of the scenic area feels particularly good, like entering a beautiful garden. The opened five grottoes have very proper cultural relics protection and safety measures, and they are also very user-friendly.

Longyou Grottoes, also known as the Underground Pyramids, are hailed as the Ninth Great Wonder of the World. Having never been to the Longyou Grottoes, I've always been fascinated by them and wanted to explore what they're all about. On February 8th, I visited the grottoes and experienced firsthand the difficulty and hardship ancient people must have faced when carving out these caves. Moreover, considering the lack of advanced technology in the past, how did they manage to construct such deep grottoes in an environment filled with carbon dioxide, where even candles would extinguish? I also looked into the history of the grottoes. On June 9, 1992, Wu A'nai and three other villagers used four water pumps to drain water for 17 days and nights, finally revealing another mystery of the world that could be compared to UFOs. Led by Wu A'nai, they entered a mysterious underground world, grand and spectacular, full of bewildering wonders. All five caves are connected, making the visit very convenient, walking from one to the next. The entire tour takes about 30-40 minutes to complete. How to book? Follow the Quzhou Culture and Tourism official WeChat account, click on the free tour, and all scenic spots in Quzhou are free to visit on weekdays. If you have time, you can come on a weekday to climb Jianglang Mountain, Lanke Mountain, Medicine King Mountain, and visit the Sanqu Stone Forest, as well as explore the Twenty-Eight Towns and the Root Palace Buddha Land.
