Dragon Palace

In the southwest of Xixiu District, the Dragon Palace is 27 km from the city proper of Anshun. A national AAAAA scenic area and a national scenic and historic area, it presents a wide variety of typical karst landforms.

The central scenic area consists of cluster of water karst caves. The 5,000-meter-long tunnel is a gallery of stalactites and stalagmites of the most imaginative forms, hence it is known as “No. 1 water karst cavern on earth”. The Longgong Scenic Area boasts the longest water kars cavern, and the lowest natural radicalization in China; and is known for the oddly-shaped ponds, many short rivers and large Buddhist prayers rooms. Now the 1,240-meter-long water karst tunnel linking some caves and the Buddhist prayers rooms contained in the caves, with an area of over 22,000 sq m, are open to the public.
