Kongshan Baiyun Cave Scenic and Historic Interest Area, located in the central part of Lincheng County, Xingtai City, is a geological scenic spot primarily built around the natural karst cave, Baiyun Cave. Visitors who enjoy the scenery of karst caves are welcome to explore.
The main attraction within the scenic area is Baiyun Cave, situated at the core of the site. The developed part of the cave for visiting is approximately 4 kilometers long, divided into five distinct areas: the Human World, Paradise, Hell, Dragon Palace, and the Enchanted Land. Each area features various stalactite formations that correspond to their names, creating a fantastical scene when combined with the lighting. The cave also offers free guided tours, allowing visitors to imagine the shapes of each stalagmite through the guide’s explanations.
Apart from Baiyun Cave, the scenic area includes the Xing Kiln Museum, an exhibition hall showcasing the formation of the Earth, Empress Dowager Hall, and the Thousand Buddhas Stele, all of which can be visited one by one. At the exit of Baiyun Cave, visitors can also climb to the summit of Kongshan to view the surrounding scenery and the ancient stalagmite base group on the mountain, offering a rich variety of activities.
