With an area of 1.6 square kilometers, the cave is a formation of karst caverns 170 kilometers east of the Stone Forest. It is composed of nine peaks and 18 caverns. A distance of 5,000 meters has been open to the public, covering Luyuan cave, Jade Pillar Cave and an underground Karst River.
In the caves are various stone formations resembling bamboo shoots, flowers, curtains and windows. Remarkably true to life, some stand in solitary loftiness, others in clusters. In Yusun (jade bamboo shoot) River, fish glide among the resections of surrounding stone. Visitors may stay at Alu Mountain Villa or Zhongxiu Hotel and may taste nutritious buckwheat or enjoy folk dances of the Yi nationality.
