Luomei Lianhua Dong
A 1,000m (3,280 ft.) tourist cave in a passage just above the level of the Leye field floor, this cave is notable for its many fine, circular shelfstone deposits up to 2m (7 ft.) across that were formed in pools (now drained) around stalagmite stumps (often known as lotus deposits in China or as lily pads in the West) some of which are almost 10m (32 ft.) across.
Tip: Just through the road tunnel that leads up to the Tiankeng Park is an unmanned rear entrance to the Lotus Cave. Take your own torch and you can avoid the entrance fee.
