The Water Cave sucks in water from Qingjiang River, which forms a waterfall like a crouching dragon swallowing. The river is a 16.8km-long underground stream. Amazingly, a single wall separates the two caves.
Tenglong Cave has been confirmed by domestic and foreign experts as the biggest water-eroded cave in China and one of the special-class caves in the world.

The scenic spots are distributed across an area of 2,000,000 square meters. These include the White Jade Stone Forest, Thousand Buddha Palace, Dragon Palace, Pearl Blanket, Flower Spring Water and the “Crouching Dragon Swallowing the River” Waterfall in the Falling Water Cave. At the waterfall, the river becomes an underground stream on which visitors can view the sights on a boat.
