Best time to visit：Mar-May, Sep-Nov(Open all year)Yiliang67.9 km from downtownHighlights:Yiling, Yunnan, the core of the karst secrets of central Yunnan, is famous for its Jiuxiang caves and various stone forests, and is known as the "Asian Cave Museum". The ancient ocean deposits 270 million years ago, carved by groundwater for hundreds of millions of years, formed more than a hundred three-dimensional and staggered cave systems. The male and female waterfalls are like giant dragons tearing through the strata and roaring into the Yincui Gorge underground river; the Shentian terrace-like travertine pools are glowing with emerald light, forming a symphony in the center of the earth with the giant stone curtain hanging 30 meters high. Explorers can take a boat to cross the thousand-meter underground river of Jinghun Gorge, look up at the stalactite forest hanging from the top of the cave, or use SRT technology to quickly descend a 60-meter vertical shaft, and discover fluorescent mycelium and transparent blind shrimp in the undeveloped bat cave branches. The Lion Hall spans over 200 meters, with ancient marine fossils densely covered on the dome, and rock paintings of Yi ancestors hunting hidden in the mottled stone walls eroded by sulfur. Extreme projects such as underground river rafting and cave via ferrata connect the boiling underground waterfalls and the travertine maze that has been silent for thousands of years. Yiliang uses the primitive brushstrokes of crustal upheavals to engrave the hydrological power and humanistic codes into a book, inviting the brave to go upstream and touch the pulse of the land in central Yunnan that has been beating for billions of years.4 attractionJiuxiang Karst Cave5.1
