Introduction to Zhenyuan Old Town

What to do in Zhenyuan?
Green Dragon Cave (Qinglong Dong)
This magnificent cave extends over 800 meters deep for an area of 30,000 square meters. The path is steep and full of mysteries. We encounter stalactites in the shapes of animals according to Chinese legends, and we can appreciate the quiet flow of the spring coming from the cave. The diversity of encounters made through these Buddhist and Taoist pavilions embedded in the mountain makes the visit of the site exciting.
Jianhe Hot Springs
The Jianhe Hot Springs are located in Wenquan Village, in the heart of the Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture. The welcome from the local people is very warm and sometimes surprising. The road to the springs is a veritable parade of splendid limestone rocks.
Descent of the Wuyang He River
The banks of the Wuyang He River are strewn with magical rocks with unusual shapes and lush vegetation. It is possible to go down the river by boat through some of these gorges and coves, particularly from Yongxi.
Dragon Basin
A 20-minute drive and 5-hour walk away is the fascinating Dragon Basin and its blue and green water with a layer of mist on the surface. Mysterious, the locals say that its depth is unknown.
