The name of Dule Cave comes from where it is located - Dule village, 12 kilometers southeast of Liuzhou. Bus No 9 in downtown will take visitors to this natural landscape park, where the main attraction there is the karts caves. It covers an area of 20 square km, constituted by 12 hills, 46 caves, 2,100 acres of green space, a stream of more than 3,000 meters long, four artificial lakes and the modern calligraphy stele forest.
Here the mountains resemble visual images – dragons, lions, chicken, cats, men or monkeys. There are also green, shady trees.
The caves are known as "Art Palace of Nature's Fantasy". Four of them are now open to the public - Panlong, Tongtian, Shuiyun, Leshou - and are linked to each other with a total route length of over 700 meters. The famous attractions inside are: Welcoming Torch, Liujiang Rafting, the South China Sea Scenery, the Village Dawn, the Singing Sanjie, Fish Diving Skylight, Beasts in Forest, Dulu Waterfalls. Visitors tend to marvel at what they see inside the caves, a peaceful land, while the outside is full of beautiful views. At the front of the mountain under the roadside banyan tree there is a rock wall with engraved letters of “Tian Xia Du Lu" (the world is happy); the eye-catching and meaningful calligraphy is the handwriting of famous artist Zhao Dan.
