I'll start this be saying that this should be combined with a trip to Shilin Stone Forest. Make it two days and spend the night in a local town/city so that you don't have to rush either location. With out a doubt the best cave that I have been in for sightseeing. Starts with a boat ride (paddle) up what I think is the beginning of the Yangtze River. (The English written sign was not easlily read or understood). A short trip up the small gorge in a boat with about 10 other tourists and one paddler. From here you walk down the gorge and for the next couple of hours you walk in and out of and through many different caverns. The walk ends with a cable car ride back to near the main entrance. If you stay in Yiliang I suggest trying to arrange for a local to take you on the local bus that runs from Yiliang to Jiuxiang, fantastic trip. The bus stops about 1 km from the entrance and the stop is not clearly marked so a local is a great help. Well worth the walk.See more..
4.0Puzhehei Scenic Resort(42 reviews) - Lotus Rural scenery Sunday: 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM Bodies of Water • Caverns & Caves • Geologic Formations
I have been to this place for several times. Earliest one was when I was little maybe 8.9 years old. After too many years it didn’t change a lot. The peak season is always in the early summer when lotus blossom. We used to rent several boats and separated into groups to start the water fight on the river. It was so much fun with a group of peopleSee more..
This freak of nature and ornitholody is halfway between Jianshui and Gejiu. The karst formations are lure, but what you will want to see are tens of thousands of swallows flying around in spring and summer. The cave is split into two - one high and dry, the other low and wet. The higher cave is made up of three storey pavilion and a tree fit inside. Plank walkways link up, the Lu River runs through the lower cave for about 8 km and you can tour the cave in boat. There is no direct bus, but the ones bound for Mengzi, Kaiyuan or Gejiu which don't take the expressway pass the cave.See more..

This is possibly the most peaceful and secluded of all the holy spots in China, and you can experience it without hordes of tourists. I only wish I could have spent more time hiking around to the various grottoes and temples.See more..
4.5Dixiadao Stone Forest(10 reviews) - Worth the trip Sunday: 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM Caverns & Caves • Geologic Formations
Travelled from the Spring City Resort in a group of 4 to play golf at the Stone Forest B course. The course is in a spectacular setting with the stone outcrops all over the place, beautiful lush fairways and good greens. The course was busy so there was not really time to take all the photo's we wanted but still a very enjoyable experience. The clubhouse is outstanding and its facilities with a good restaurant and a driving range off the back. Would love to go back to play there again. See more..
