Go to Fangshan to explore caves
In Fangshan, there is a "living" cave 100 meters underground - Silver Fox Cave, which is one of the few natural caves in Beijing. It is located southwest of Beijing, 60 kilometers away from downtown Beijing, and is the largest cave group integrating water and drought in the north. It is named after one of the stalactites shaped like a silver fox.
The reason why it is called an integration of water and drought is that in addition to looking at stalactites, we can also experience unique underground dark river rafting. The water quality is crystal clear and even up to drinking standards.

Silver Fox Cave also has some safe unexplored mysterious caves for everyone to explore. Just enter the mysterious underground world and discover the most primitive beauty of nature.
