Brief information on Huanglong Cave  

Huanglong Cave, a unique karst wonder, is located at the eastern end of Wulingyuan Scenic Area, a World Natural Heritage Site. The cave is conveniently located within a transportation network: it sits 40 kilometers from Zhangjiajie-Huanglong Cave Highway and 35 kilometers from Zhangjiajie Railway, Airport and Coach Station.

Huanglong Cave contains two types of caves: hangdong (those without water) and shuidong (those with water), comprising four layers in all. The mineral deposits inside the cave are multi-colored, and the water erosion, clints and potholes appear fully developed. The cave is also filled with peculiarly shaped stalactites, stalagmites, stone pillars, stone flags, stone falls, stone curtains, stone flowers and stone basins.

Huanglong Cave has several areas to choose from, including Dragon Palace, Crystal Palace, Shiqin Hill, Tianxianshui Hall, Xiangshui River and the Maze. The Maze is considered the best place in Huanglong Cave, and it occupies an area of around 1,600 square meters. It features a central dragon throne surrounded by a forest of stone pillars and stalagmites.
