It's a marvel that seems like a cave but not quite, a splendid place known as Jiudongtian

Jiudongtian Scenic Area is located at the junction of Dafang County and Nayong County. It is named Jiudongtian because of the nine large skylights on the underground river that is about seven kilometers long. Every step reveals a picturesque scene, every cave has a water body, hence the name Jiudongtian. This place is a typical karst landform: underground rivers, skylights, cliffs, peaks and valleys, all combined to form a magnificent karst landscape, known as the encyclopedia of karst on earth, a karst geological museum. The nine caves are connected, with stalactites hanging down, steep rocks piercing the sky, in various shapes and forms, creating a marvelous landscape. Between the caves, you can either walk or boat, looking up at the natural beauty, each place has its own unique charm. You must visit Jiudongtian in person, otherwise, it's really hard to imagine that under the layers of mountains, there are such magnificent caves and underground rivers, the stalactites that are a masterpiece of nature, truly awe-inspiring! Traveling along the underground river in the canyon, with the occasional cool water droplets from the stalactites above, admiring the sound and light projections in the cave, it's like traveling through a time tunnel!
