Silver Fox Scenic Area is the largest limestone cave within northern China. It is said that Silver Fox Cave is more than 10 kilometers long, though, up to now only five kilometers has been opened to the public. The inner space of the cave is very large with a capacity of about 200,000 cubic meters. The main cave, side caves, horizontal cave, vertical caves, water caves, dry caves and many kinds and different sizes of caves make up the whole scenic area. According to the flow of caves, it is divided into ten major scenic divisions with over 100 attractions.
Features: The only underground water system which is open to the public is also located 106 meters underground in Silver Fox Cave. With the total length of over one kilometer, this is the first underground river which was discovered in northern China. Tourists can experience the amazing creation of this underground water system on boats. Throughout the journey, visitors may find that the river is wide but the next moment, it would be very narrow; sometimes visitors can hardly see the top of the cave but sometimes visitors need to bend down 90 degrees in the boat in order not to bump into the rocks above. Known as one of the Karst wonders of the world, in which it is common to see stalactites, stalagmites, stone pillars, stone flags and stone shields, there are also large amounts of stone chrysanthemum, stone pearls and crystal clear calcite etc. in the silver cave. After all, the most significant wonders would be the needle like and filamentous "Silver Fox" which is rarely found in the world. It is also revered as one of the top karst wonders worldwide and one of China's National Treasures.
