Wanxiang Cave is located in the mountainside of Lugushan Mountain of Yangpang Village, Hanwang County, on the south bank of Bailongjiang River, Wudu District, Longnan City. It is 12 kilometers from Wudu. This cave is 250 million years old, and its grand scale and high artistic value can compare favorably with the world famous Reed Flute Cave in Guilin and Seven Star Cave in Zhaoqing. This cave not only has the magnificent northern style, but also has the delicate southern beauty. It is one of the four famous caves in China. Wanxiang Cave enjoys a high reputation of “The No.1 cave in China", meanwhile it is also called “underground cultural corridor" and “underground art palace".

Wangxiang Cave is also called Xianren Cave (Fairy Cave) and Wuxian Cave (Five Fairies Cave), because that, according to legend, there were five fairies disciplined here. It has the typical karst landform. In this cave, the depth is unfathomable and the landforms are complex and winding. The smallest place is less than one meter tall, which just can allow one people to crawl. However, the biggest place is spacious, which has hundreds of meters in length and breadth. There are around 360 thousand square meters of stalactite, stalagmite, stalagnate and stone flower, which are spread all over the place. At present, there are three scenic spots that have been developed -- Moon Palace, Dragon Palace and Heavenly Palace.

Wanxiang Cave is 190 meters higher than Bailongjiang River at an altitude of 1150 meters. Yet in the humid cave, there are many streams, rhythmically flowing by. Both ends are connected with the outside, so the cave has sufficient oxygen with a stable temperature at 14℃ throughout the year. It is a popular summer resort.
