Lianzhou Underground River is located 26 kilometers northeast of the historical and cultural city of Lianzhou City. Among the high mountains at the junction of Guangdong, Guangxi and Hunan provinces, it is a typical giant natural limestone cave with subtropical karst landform. According to the analysis of geologists, the cave was formed due to the crustal movement 200 million years ago, and now has a tourist area of ??45,000 square meters. The highest point is 47.8 meters and the widest point is 53.6 meters. The temperature in the cave remains at about 18°C ??in all seasons. The air is fresh, warm in winter and cool in summer.

Throughout the ages, the Lianzhou Underground River area has been a place where people from the nearby Dadong Village escape the summer heat and children play, but no one knows that there is a long underground river hidden deep in the cave. According to geological surveys, about 200 million years ago, the location of the Lianzhou Underground River was a vast ocean. Later, due to changes in the crustal movement, the seafloor rose to become land. During the second period of crustal stability, a large-scale collapse occurred here, forming the current cave.

On the land layer, if you walk along the winding stone path, you can enjoy the stalactites of different shapes, including "Maitreya Buddha", "Guan Gong" and "Meng Jiangnu". What is quite distinctive is the "Immortal God Field". You can see layers of stalactites meandering like terraces on both sides of the "Immortal River". The winding and beautiful scenery is somewhat similar to Huanglong in Sichuan Province.

After going down to the bottom, an underground river extends deep into the cave with no end in sight. Take a boat and travel along the underground river. The river is winding, sometimes open, sometimes narrow. The narrowest point is only 1.6 meters, and the stalactites above your head are within reach. Along the way, you will pass through three canyons: Banana Gorge, Lotus Gorge, and Longmen Gorge. The stalactites on both sides are in various shapes, some are like waterfalls across the sky, some are like lush mountains and forests, and some are like birds and animals. During the entire process, the cruise ship will travel 1,500 meters and pass through four peaks.
