Located in the urban area of Yunfu City, it is a secondary cave gradually formed after more than 170 million years, with a tour distance of 528 meters. This cave is divided into three parts, the upper part is Paradise Tiantong Cave, the lower part is Longquan Underground River, and the middle part is Ma Rulong Corridor. Stone flowers hang high in the cave, stalactites hang low, and stalagmite columns are like forests; There are holes in the mountains, holes in the holes, and scenery everywhere. The scenery is amazing. The cave is tortuous and shaped like a dragon, hence the name "Panlong Cave".
The most peculiar thing is the clusters of stone flowers growing on the rock wall in the cave. There are only three countries in the world, and Panlong Cave in Yunfu, China is one of them. The stone flowers in Panlong Cave are exquisitely carved and crystal clear as jade. Clean and flawless, with needles, balls, curls, radiation and other forms.

It began to form about 350 thousand years ago and is still growing slowly. It is distributed in the whole cave, attached to the rock wall, and changes endlessly when you see it. Its growth is not limited by gravity. Its formation and preservation is still a subject that needs further study in today's academic circles.
"Luo Yu Umbrella Account" is another world-class cave wonder in Panlong Cave. Luo Yu Umbrella Curtain consists of two parts. The shield panel at the top is called a stone shield, and the part of the palette that falls from the top of the shield is called a shield pendant, which is a kind of stone curtain. When the two parts are combined, it is a gorgeous court mosquito net, which looks like jade, so it is called "Luo Yu umbrella curtain". The reason is still a mystery. The back of Luo Yu umbrella curtain is darker in color and formed earlier. According to the measurement, it has been 24,200 years since now, and the front part is as white as jade, which was formed later. It is estimated that its generation year is only a few thousand years. The landscapes such as Tortoise Pilgrimage and Dragon Mother Bath are wonderful, vivid, fascinating and pure natural.
