Shadow-play Cave

Three Gorges, China

Located in Sichuan Province, China on the Yangtze River Cruise is the spectacular Shadow-play Cave (San Xia Ren Jia). This is one of the most unusual and unique tourist attractions in the country. The karst rock formations of the Cave are made up of brilliant colors like black, yellow, green, white, and gray. These colors give the cave a magical appearance and a sense of grandeur. Another strange attribute of this cave is that when you tap on the five-colored rocks you can hear the sound of drums or gongs. The underground perennial stream cannot be seen but sounds like music as it flows down the mountains. Near the cave is the famous Shaseng stone which weighs 100 tons and looks like a mushroom.
