the Best of China's Caves - Yaolin Cave

by Lion_Beat

Probably the top attraction site for Tonglu will be the Yaolin Cave located some 30km from the city in a park called Yaolin Wonderland. It is a group of limestone caves formed by corrosion through the ages. The cave is rated as one of top ten attraction sites in Zhejiang Province and also is ranked as 2nd on the list of newly developed natural scenic spots among the "40 Best Tourist Resorts" in China. The way I see it, in China they will rate any attraction and name it "top of the...", "highest, biggest..., oldest...", "number 1 in..." So, do not pay much attention to these clasification they advertise. Still this cave is worth visiting! It is really worth seeing... I esspecialy enjoyed the magnificant views of the cave, since it is all lighten up in different colours. Just take a look at the pictures!
Also there are chinise style red lamps on some alleys - this look nice! It also hosts: " The Yaolin Myth World Show Palace" with hundreds of statues from Chinese Mythology. There is a Budist Temple in the 3rd hall and you can have a short boat trip.

Yaolin Wonderland streches one kilometer in depth and covers an area of 28,000 square meters.
