Water Caves, Guangxi, China
3.5 (105 reviews) Spent Ranking #21 in Yangshuo County Bodies of Water • Geologic Formations
Avoid this fake, overpriced, underground cemented light show
Horrible place. There was tourist trap written all over it. 80RMB just to get in to wait an hour to start the tour. At least 30-40 people in the tour. The women gave a boring speech about the cave's history and the different structures of the cave. Upon entering, your are overwhelmed by the number of Chinese tourists fighting to take a picture of the "natural" formations. We eventually walked well ahead of the pack and made our own fun little tour (recommended). The entire place was lit up in glory which is common to see in China. The next complaint I'm writing to is for Green Peace because they had a large sea turtle trapped in a little box for public viewing. So cruel. Then there was a gift shop and fake hot springs and mud baths (see above complaints). Looking at the pictures, I'm starting to wonder if the entire place was just cement and lights. Don't waste your time!

Cool caves, fun mud bath!
Get up the courage and try the mud bath - it's a bit odd but very fun! Cave is definitely worth it on its own too. Buy a ticket at your hotel instead of at the caves for HUGE discount.
