Shihuadong is an enormous cave system, with eight different levels and a total height difference of 160m. Four branches of this system are developed for tourists, and are the most famous show caves in China. Their names are:
Shihuadong develops in the Ordovician Majiagou limestone on the northern limb of Beilin syncline. The Cambrian and Ordovician limestone is about 3900m thick in this area. Beneath Shihua Cave, Kungshui Cave, Bailong yan and Yinhudong Cave have been discovered, each with over 1,000m. But Shihua cave is only one open for tourists.
