Introducing Longgong Caves
The vast Lónggōng (Lónggōng Dòng; Dragon Palace; admission Y120; 8.30am-5.30pm) cave network snakes through 20 hills, but only a fraction is currently open to tourists. The recorded music and coloured spotlights can feel a bit over the top at times but most travellers enjoy drifting through the caves on rowboats with the low-key guides.

Guanyin Cave is a second, less impressive site about 4km before the main entrance.
Lónggōng is 23km south of Ānshùn and an easy day trip that can be combined with a visit to Huángguǒshù.
