Hidden in the lush mountains and valleys of Zhongbu Town, Leping City, Jiangxi Province, lie two breathtaking secret spots: Leping’s strange stone forest and the Water Curtain Cave! This secret area covers more than 20 square kilometers. With its towering strange stones and deep forest ravines, it is praised as “China’s finest stone forest.” It is a little-known natural treasure that remains largely untouched. The most remarkable feature of Leping’s strange stone forest is the world-famous “Five Wonders”: the tree wonder, stone wonder, water wonder, pit wonder, and climate wonder. Having long been isolated from the noise of the outside world and rarely disturbed by human activity, billions of years of geological evolution and natural carving have preserved the purest wild beauty here. Every plant, stone, and cave exudes a natural, unrefined charm and vitality. Entering the strange stone forest is like stepping into a giant natural stone museum. Jagged, bizarre stones fill the mountains and fields in countless shapes and forms. Each stone hides nature’s creativity—some resemble eagles about to take flight, others look like majestic lions, and some vividly resemble mythological figures or everyday objects. Every corner sparks the imagination and invites awe at nature’s incredible artistry. Complementing the strange stone forest is the Water Curtain Cave, which takes this wonder to the next level. Originally called Zhangguyan, the cave system stretches over 10 kilometers, with caves within caves connected like an underground maze. Surrounded by green mountains, a clear spring flows gently outside the cave. From a cliff more than 100 meters high, water cascades down like flying pearls and splashing jade, creating mist that gives the Water Curtain Cave its name. Inside the cave is another world. Looking up, countless stalactites hang from the ceiling—some like crystal bead curtains, translucent and sparkling, others like towering stone pillars reaching the roof. In the interplay of light and shadow, these countless stalactites seem alive, bringing the deep cave to life!

It also features a Jingdezhen porcelain culture light and shadow show. Outside, there’s an ancient water stage, mountain stone forest, making it ideal for summer cooling, family outings, and short trips with friends. The self-driving trip from Changzhi is quite long.

Buying tickets online in advance is more cost-effective. Students and seniors aged 60–64 get half-price tickets. Seniors 65 and older and children under 1.2 meters enter free.

The main highlights are rich: the cave is the biggest attraction, with giant stalactites and a 38-meter-high sky pillar that are especially impressive. The porcelain-themed light and shadow show adds a strong atmosphere. Jiutian waterfall is a natural underground waterfall inside the cave, with cool mist. The water stage is built on the lake using mortise and tenon joints without a single nail, and the reflections on the water make for great photos. Walking through the back mountain stone forest offers relaxing views of the rural landscape. 💡 Tips: 1. There’s a big temperature difference inside and outside the cave. Bring a light jacket to avoid catching a cold. 2. The cave floor is wet with many steps. Wear non-slip shoes and avoid sandals or high heels. 3. The light and shadow show has fixed times. Don’t enter too late to avoid missing the performance. 4. There are many mosquitoes on the mountain. Remember to use insect repellent.
