Tiansheng Cave   (Qujing)
0 /0  Users recommend

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.

 

 
Admission:RMB 5  Hours:N/A How to get there:The cave is about 20km to the northwest of Qujing. There are some tourist buses heading there during the holiday season, otherwise you'll need to take a cab.
