The Cango Caves

One of the worlds great natural wonders. Sculptured by nature through the ages – fascinating limestone formations in a wide variety of colours. An underground wonderworld.

According to the legend the caves were discovered during 1780. Early visitors had to brave the pitch-darkness of the vast caverns from the poor light of self-made candles. Over the years improvements took place and today modern technology makes it possible that all the wonders of the cave are skillfully illuminated for the benefit of visitors.

The Cango Caves are a must for all domestic and / or foreign tourists.

The Cango Caves are open daily excepting Christmas Day
