Located on the Tanlu seismic belt, Yishui is home to hundreds of karst caves that range in length from 1,000-7,000 meters.
Over millions of years, dripping water has eroded these caves into a special world of enchanting stalactites and stone pillars.
One cave is 6,600 meters longs and known as an underground stalactite museum. Formed about 200 million years ago, it features 40 different types of stalactites and 168 scenic spots.
