Explore Asia's No.1 Cave, step inside to experience all four seasons and gaze upon hundreds of millions of years of stone

👉Tenglong Cave|Unlock multiple ways to enjoy "Asia's Largest Cave"🌿 💥 Asia's largest karst cave wonder: The entrance is 64 meters wide and 74 meters high, big enough to fit a 15-story building! The main cave stretches 59.8 kilometers, taking 3-4 hours to walk through, exploring it feels like "discovering an underground palace"🏰 💥 A perfect blend of nature and culture: Hear the roaring Qingjiang Waterfall "Sleeping Dragon Swallowing the River" and watch the live Tujia ethnic song and dance show "Yishui Lichuan" inside the cave, an incredibly immersive experience🎭 💥 Beautiful all year round photo spots: In spring, cherry blossoms bloom outside the cave; in summer, escape the heat inside (constant 18℃ temperature); in autumn, admire golden dawn redwoods; in winter, see frost at the cave entrance—every shot is a masterpiece📸 🌟 Must-try activities (ranked by experience) - Cave hiking adventure: Wear comfortable sports shoes! Focus on the "dry cave + water cave" sections. In the dry cave, see stunning stalactites like the "Dragon Palace Treasure Hall" and "Peacock Spreading Its Tail." In the water cave, listen to the "Sleeping Dragon Swallowing the River" waterfall, with refreshing mist all around💦 - "Yishui Lichuan" performance: Daily shows at 10:30 AM and 3:30 PM (40 minutes each). Lights shine on the cave walls while actors in Tujia costumes perform hand-waving dances and mountain songs, immersing you in the Bachu culture. Arrive early for front-row seats🎤 - Hot air balloon/Helicopter at the cave entrance: Want a different perspective? Take a hot air balloon ride (150 RMB/person) for a panoramic view of the "giant cave swallowing the river." For the brave, try a helicopter tour for a breathtaking bird’s-eye view🚁 - Qingjiang River hiking: Walk along the wooden boardwalk by the Qingjiang River outside the cave. In autumn and winter, the dawn redwoods turn golden, and sunlight filters through the leaves onto the river, perfect for healing scenic photos🍂 🌟 Dining & Accommodation Guide🍜 - Food recommendations: - Eat Enshi Tujia cuisine in the town outside the cave: Try baked potatoes (crispy outside, soft inside), Hezha (yellow soybean "lazy tofu"), and cured pork hotpot. Around 50 RMB per person for a full meal; - Inside the cave, there’s only a convenience store, so bring some biscuits and chocolate for energy and drink plenty of water (the cave is dry). - Accommodation options: - Budget-friendly: Stay at guesthouses near Tenglong Cave Visitor Center, a 5-minute walk to the cave entrance. Some have courtyards where you can see mountain mist in the morning; - For comfort: Choose hotels in Lichuan city, 30 minutes by car, with access to Longchuan Tianjie Night Market at night🌃 🌟 Transportation & Ticket Tips🚗 - How to get there: - By car: From Enshi city to Tenglong Cave takes about 1.5 hours, parking costs 10 RMB/day; - Public transport: Take the "Enshi-Lichuan" bus (25 RMB/person) from beside Enshi Train Station, then transfer to the scenic area shuttle bus (15 RMB/person, 30 minutes). - Ticket info: - Adult ticket 150 RMB (includes cave and show), half price for students and seniors; - Buy tickets one day in advance via the official WeChat account, scan your ID to enter directly and skip the line! 🌟 Avoid pitfalls & enhance your experience⚠️ - Wear long sleeves and pants! The cave temperature is a constant 18℃, cool even in summer. Bring a light jacket if you get cold; - Avoid white shoes, as the cave paths can be wet and dirty; - Don’t rush to leave after the show; the sunset at the cave entrance is stunning and perfect for "cave silhouette photos"; - If you have low stamina, take the electric cart inside the cave (20 RMB/person) to save 1.5 kilometers of walking.
