Jiutian Cave-Maoyan River Scenic Area

The national AAAA scenic area begins at the Jiutian Cave.

This is the first cave in Asia and received its name from its nine skylights connected with the ground. The cave is divided into upper, middle and lower layers with a total area of 2.5 million square meters. In the cave, there are layers of stalagmites, stelae and stalactites in beautiful shapes. In 1987, it was identified as “the first cave in Asia” after three on-site investigations were conducted by more than twenty experts from seventeen countries. In 1995, it was approved as a member of the Exploration Base of International Limestone Cave Association.

Transport: The scenic area can be reached by the Xiaohekan-Wentang and Zhangjiajie-Sangzhi highways. Independent tourists can pool together to hire a minibus
