Wanxiang Cave lies on the south bank of the Bailong River, about fifteen kilometres east of Wudu District’s urban centre. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism describes it as a major cave in northern China and notes that Zhao Puchu wrote its name. The river setting places the cave within Longnan’s southern mountain geography, where water has cut through rock and shaped the region’s valleys.

Inside, stalactites line the cave chambers in varied formations. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism describes the cave as a sequence in which the scene changes as visitors move from one space to the next. In 2007, a sister cave was developed nearby. The page records Wanxiang as a national 4A scenic area and lists provincial cultural-relic, scenic-area and geopark designations.
Part of Longnan’s water-shaped landscape
Wanxiang Cave and Guan’egou belong to Longnan’s broader mountain-and-water geography, though each reveals a different feature of it. At Guan’egou, forest, lakes and villages spread across six valleys. At Wudu, the Bailong River runs beneath a cave system whose chambers are built from mineral formations. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism’s 2024 route connects destinations across Tanchang, Wudu, Kangxian and Wenxian, showing how varied landscapes and communities can be encountered across the southern prefecture.
