It can be easily reached via the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, Beijing-Shenzhen Expressway, and National Highway 107. This is a rare karst cave landscape formed in the Middle Cambrian 500 million years ago. Five caves have been opened with a total length of 4,000 meters and over 200 major scenic spots, including "Human World", "Heaven", "Hell", "Dragon Palace" and "Wonderland", each with a unique landscape. The entire cave is full of colorful stalactites, stalagmites, curtains, and flowers formed by carbonate. The size of the landscape varies, with the largest stalagmite having a circumference of 4.3 meters and the largest curtain being 8 meters wide, while the smallest landscape stalactite has a diameter of only a few millimeters. Kongshan Baiyundong was discovered in 1988, and after being developed and protected by experts and the local government, it was officially opened in 1990 and was designated as a national key scenic spot in 2002. It has now become a famous national 4A-level scenic area.
