Jiuxiang

There is a saying in Yunnan ‘look at Stone Forest above the ground; look at Jiuxiang under the ground’. Jiuxiang and the famous Stone Forest both belong to the same three-dimensional Karst landscape, but its beauty lies in the Karst caves instead of stone peaks. There are hundreds of caves in the scenic area, so it is known as the ‘Cave Museum’ and one of the must-see attractions around Kunming.

Jiuxiang Scenic Area is located in Yi & Hui Village, Yiliang County, Kunmin. It’s a dense forest area, rich in animals and plants. There are not only magnificent mountains, rivers and canyons, but also beautiful underground caves, which belong to typical Karst landscape. The main attractions include Yincui Gorge, Scary Gorge, Lion Hall, Double Waterfalls, Shentian, etc.
