Description
Xueyu Cave
Yuzhong
Snowy Jade Cave
(Chongqing)
The cave's interior is China's only pure-white, jade-like example. It continues to expand due to erosion in the surrounding karst landscape. 1,644 m (5,394 ft) long, of which 1,161 m (3,809 ft) have been explored,
Snowy Jade Cave is spread over three levels. Inside, both the 8 m (26 ft) Stone King's Flag (石旗王) and the 4 m (13 ft) high Stone King's Shield (石盾王) features are the largest of their type in the world. There are also numerous examples of corals.
The surrounding area is also home to rare animal species including macaque, wild boar, and golden pheasant.
