This cave was discovered inside a coal mine. The artificial tunnel hits the cave right in the middle. Two branches start here, the eastern branch has been developed for tourists. The western branch is a river cave and only accessible to speleologists.
Yinhudong translates Silver Fox Cave, after a famous stalagmite with extremely white calcite crystals, which is called the Silver Fox. The wealth of this cave are definitely numerous speleothems. But there is also another highlight: visitors may take an underground boat trip on the subterranean river.
