The astonishing stalactite caves of Xingwen county cover a 121 sq kilometers area of forested hills. There are 83 caves in all, each with its own special architecture, some dome like others funnel shaped, some deep others shallow, a profusion of natural diversity. The grandest of all is the Tianquan cave, 4200 m deep with seven impressive halls along the route. Most amazing of all is the Hall of Cascading Light. Here light replaces water to create a fairy tale cascade. Elves must have danced here! The rays of the sun enter the hall trough an opening high above, creating an amazing natural spectacle. This sight has enchanted visitors for centuries. Further into the cave is the astounding Funnel Hall, sporting a diameter of some 500 to 560 m. A masterpiece of engineering designed by Nature itself.
The
Stone Cave Forest is situated near the Miao nationality's cultural capital,
in itself an attraction to make the trip to Xingwen county worthwhile.
