The Dry Cave is known for its dazzling array of stalagmites and stalactites, which are extremely fantastic under the lights due to their grotesque shapes. The Water Cave is a wonderful place for those with sightseeing-weary bones to rest, where a natural pond that can accommodate 300 people is available, and you&#8217;re highly recommended to take a mud bath in the pond owing to its health care function.<\/p>\n<p>After the mud bath, you can take a shower under the waterfall which is 15 meters away from the cave entrance.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"GIC QR.jpg\" style=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/media.hiredchina.com\/FlXXlKXBxtykYAuKbjvAxKMwIbVH?imageView2\/0\/format\/webp\/q\/75\" height=\"488.9643463497453\" width=\"450\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Different from China&#8217;s major metropolitan centers of Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, Yangshuo is quite peaceful and tranquil, with stunning natural scenery.
