Yaolindong is a very interesting cave, which is published multiple times. We listed some papers above. Beneath some commitment in the development and protection of tourist caves, they are open for modern IT. There is a very interesting three dimensional computer map of the cave on the web. In 1992 the cave hosted the Third National Conference of Karst Geomorphology and Speleology which was organized by the Commission of Karst and Speleology of the Geographic Society of China, and the Tourism Bureau of Tonglu County
But the cave itself is worth a visit. Enormous dimensions, as typical for caves in this area, and extraordinary speleothems make a visit rewarding. The cave has an occupation history dating back 2,900 years BP.
