Longmen Water Cave is in Longmen Village, 3km from Moon Hill. It is for the slightly more adventurous and stretches far back into the mountain. The whole cave is about 3km long and runs through 3 mountains. The water in the cave is 0.5m deep and has a gentle flow which is clean and safe. It's the most extensive unaltered subterranean micro cosmos in this area, full of narrow maze-like and sometimes dangerous passages.
Visitors enter in a small narrow boat meandering through stalactites and low hanging rock. The cave has huge cavernous halls and gigantic glimmering rock formations. Half way through the cave there is large mud bath that is excellent to lie in and float on. Towards the back of the cave are a series of clear ponds that are excellent to have a swim in and wash all the mud off.
Length of cave tour: Short tour: 1.5 hours, Full length tour: 3 hours
Tips: Bring your swimsuit, towel, shoes with good grip that you don't mind getting wet and be prepared for a wet, muddy experience!
