Kaiyuan Secret Realm! Nandong Karst Underground River Light and Shadow Adventure🍃 Recommended Reasons: Treasure of Southern Yunnan! A summer retreat with an entire cave system to yourself! Few crowds! 🚗Transportation Tips: 📍Address: No. 299 Nandong Road, Kaiyuan City, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province It is recommended to drive/charter a car, parking at the scenic area is free. 🔥Must-Visit Guide: 1️⃣ Underground River Cruise Take a small boat through the karst cave! The boatman will use oars to create a starry light and shadow effect. ⭐Real experience: It is recommended to choose the 4 PM session, the Tyndall effect created by the sunlight shining obliquely into the cave entrance is stunning. 2️⃣ Nandong Sinkhole Skywalk The suspended glass skywalk offers a 360° view of the underground forest, every casual photo looks like a secret realm from "Avatar". 📸Hidden photo spot: At the corner of the second observation deck, you can capture the sinkhole + stalactites in one frame. 💡Tips to Avoid Pitfalls: ① The cave maintains a constant temperature of 18℃, remember to bring a light jacket. ② It is recommended to wear non-slip shoes! Some stone paths have moss. ③ The light and shadow show starts at 7 PM every night, arrive early to secure a spot. 🌌Nighttime Activities: The illuminated stalactites look exactly like scenes from "The Lost Tomb"! Night tour tickets are half the price of daytime tickets. 🌿Local Exclusive: The Yi aunties at the scenic area entrance sell wild bayberry juice (5 yuan/cup), a perfect sweet and sour thirst quencher!
