The Three Gorges of Lubuge is located 40 kilometers southeast of the county seat. Lubuge is a Buyi word, meaning "a beautiful Buyi village". The major scenic point there is the famous Lubuge Power Station Dam and its artificial lake. The dam is 103 meters high and the reservoir has a storage capacity of 110, 000, 000 cubic meters. Up the dam are the Little Three Gorges. The first is the Lion Gorge which is 2.5 kilometers long. The second is the Dilu Gorge which is 1.5 kilometers long. The last is the Double Elephant Gorge which is 4.5 kilometers long. (Quoted from http://english.yunnan.cn/content/lp.htm) Every gorge turns to a different beautiful scenery. more >>

Jiulong Pubuqun (Nine Dragon Waterfalls) is a series of not nine, but ten, waterfalls of varying heights in Luoping County. The group of waterfalls is spread out over a 4km stretch of the Jiulong River and manages to fall for a combined total of more than 200 meters.   A visit to the falls is recommended during the wet season (May to October) when they are flowing at full capacity. The thunderous roar of Number 1 waterfall—the group's highest, measuring in at 56 meters—can be heard from up to 2 km distant. Subsequent falls, although not as high as the Number 1, each have their own charm. At certain times during the year, the shores of the tranquil pools between falls are graced with the presence of hundreds of folk song singing youths from local ethnic groups trying to attract a partner.   more >>

Formerly Xianren Dong (Fairy Cave, although some translate it as Celestial Being Cave), the now less whimsically named Tiansheng Dong (Natural Cave) twists and turns its way down about 1.5 km below the surface, opening up into three separate chambers at different depths—each vaster that the last.   If trudging through dimly lit caves isn't your idea of a good time—this cave has a hook, and a musical hook at that. The third chamber is lined with stalactites that, when struck with a metal object, resonate at a certain pitches. Some say that there is a stalactite that corresponds to every note in conventional musical scales and rumor has it that some of the musically talented locals are able to bang out various folk tunes and even the Chinese national anthem on them.   more >>
