4.0Zhanggong Cave(6 reviews) - Good if You are Into Caves Wednesday: 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM Caverns & Caves
This is the smaller of the 2 Cave parks near Yixing. We did not have much time and we decided to go here with our child. Small park that is just another attraction to attract tourist money. If it is on the way and you are into caves then worth visiting. The cave itself is large and lit up in multi-colors. The ticket includes some cave rafting as well and and small water rafting course. There is a small temple as well. A nice outing about a 15min drive from Yixing, but only if you have spare time in your schedule.See more..
The statue in the cave is Jiao Guang, a hermit who was admired and the name of the mountain was changed to honor him. It was a small site, but interesting due to the history. An adjacent information board provided a few details.See more..
3.5Linggu Cave(3 reviews) - Karst cave with gorgeous stalactites Wednesday: 7:30 AM - 6:30 PM Caverns & Caves Linggu Cave is one of the three famous Karst caves of YiXing (other two being ShanJuan and ZhangGong). It's the least famous of the three and my favorite (because there are fewer tourists). Lots of magnificent stalactite formations to see. Wear raincoat and rainshoes because it's very wet and water dropping from over head. It's slippery so be cautious and take good care of kids.See more..
4.0Xishi Cave(3 reviews) - Very crowded and so so Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM Caverns & Caves
A group of around 20 of us visited on a Saturday. It was super crowded with large groups of domestic chinese tourists. The outside is pretty enough but entering the cave is rather stressful because of the crowds. It does not seem to be a very big cave and many parts have been modified to cater for tourists. Many coloured lights all over and there seems to be a lot of canals inside. There were some interesting sections but because of the crowds, we felt rather rushed. The atmosphere felt rather humid. Overall , it was an ok experience but i have visited more spectacular caves that were less modifiedSee more..
