Introduction

Yuhua Cave, a national key scenic spot, is located 7 kilometers south of Jiale County in Tianjieshan. The cave has a total length of 10 kilometers, with the main cave measuring 5 kilometers. The cave is named after the shining and smooth rocks inside, which are as brilliant as jade. It is one of the longest and largest limestone karst caves in Fujian province and is known as the "number one cave in Minshan" and listed as one of the "four famous caves in China". Yuhua Cave was formed 270 million years ago through three crustal movements and millions of years of water erosion, dissolution, and cutting of limestone lava that was deposited on the sea floor, and is a typical karst landscape. Currently, Yuhua Cave is still in the developmental stage and is a natural wonderland of beautiful scenery and dreamlike landscapes.
