There are holes in the cave, rivers in the cave, stalagmites, stone pillars and stalactites. All kinds of cave wonders are beautiful. According to experts' research, about 380 million years ago, Huanglongdong area was a vast ocean, where limestone and dolomite strata with strong solubility were deposited. After a long period of time, caves began to grow. Until 65 million years ago, the crust uplifted and dry karst caves appeared. Then, through karst and water flow, today's underground wonders were formed. More than 70 experts from the Ministry of geology of China have concluded that Huanglong cave is the "all-round champion" of karst caves in the world, with its large scale, complete content and beautiful scenery covering almost all the contents of "cave science".

More than 2000 stalagmites have sprung up in various forms. Some are like birds and animals, some are like Palace treasures, some are like towering cedars, and some are like rockets. There are two flower pools of gold and silver in the back garden of the Dragon Palace. On the top of the palace, there are bells, milk willows and hanging curtains. Water that dissolves all kinds of minerals seeps out of the rock and drips down. The minerals solidify at the top of the cave and crystallize into inverted stalactites. The water dripping from the stalactites will pour and pile the minerals at the bottom of the cave and grow into upward stalagmites. Let's have a look at the shape of the Dragon Palace and appreciate the majestic momentum. The largest Stalagmite in the cave is 12 meters high and 10 meters in diameter. The natural stone chair "Dragon King's throne" stands high. Many stalagmites are like human beings and objects. They worship the mountains around the throne. Dozens of corals are standing in the sky, just like a huge "palace band".
