The scenic area has free parking. 🗺️ Tour Route and Key Highlights Recommended route without backtracking: Visitor Center → Geyasi Valley → Dongtian Shengjing → Baiku Yao Village. 1. Dongtian Shengjing (Core Highlight, about 1.5-2.5 hours) This is a 3.5-kilometer-long underground karst cave with the following highlights: · Light and Shadow Spectacle: The lighting design is very aesthetic, especially the blue "Dream Corridor," which looks stunning straight from the camera. · Geological Wonders: Pay attention to the "Queen Mother’s Bath" (a natural white jade stone pool), the "Milky Way Waterfall" (an underground river waterfall), and the stalactites at the "Golden Toad Entrance." · Underground Dark River: Some sections can be crossed by sightseeing bus through the "Time Tunnel," and there is an underground café inside for resting. 2. Baiku Yao Village (Cultural Experience) After exiting the cave, take the shuttle bus here.
