Shuanglong Cave

Shuanglong Cave is a water-filled karst cave some 8 km from Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, People's Republic of China.

Description
The cave is 66 m high and 33 m long with a total area in excess of 1200 m2. Formed around 100 million years ago, the entrance is flanked on both sides by stalactites that resemble dragon heads (龙头/龍头, lóng tóu), hence the Chinese name for the cave. Since the entrance has a clearance of around 30 cm above the cave's water level, visitors must lie down in a boat to gain access.

The cave's interior is criss-crossed by stalactites and stalagmites and features an 8 m high stone waterfall.

Shuanglong Cave provides access to the adjacent Binghu Cave via a series of stone steps.

The surrounding Shuanglong Scenic Area (双龙风景名胜区), covering 79.9 km2, is a 4A rated national tourist attraction. It contains other karst caves including the Taoyuan Cave (桃源洞), Chaozhen Cave (朝真洞) and Bingbao Cave (冰瀑洞) as well as the following sub-areas:
