    Tonglu.Yaolin Fairyland/OMG Heartbeat Paradise71.3 km from downtown
    Highlights:
    The karst secret realm on the bank of the Fuchun River in Tonglu, Zhejiang, represented by Yaolin Fairyland and Chuiyun Tongtian River, has constructed a rare wonder of symbiosis of karst caves and underground rivers in China. In the Carboniferous strata 270 million years ago, groundwater cut out a three-dimensional maze with a total length of more than 50 kilometers. Chuiyun Tongtian River runs through the center of the earth with an underground river of 8 kilometers. When you take a boat upstream, you can see stalactites like thousands of Buddhas bowing their heads, and crystal curtains reflecting the sparkling waves. Explorers can wade through the undeveloped secrets of the branch caves, climb into the vertical shaft along the underground waterfall of the Boiling Dam, and encounter schools of blind fish and fluorescent calcite veins in the maze-like net cave hall. The 100-meter stone waterfall in Yaolin Wonderland and the thousand-year-old travertine terraces in Chuiyun Cave complement each other, and the saltpeter mining plank road in the Tang and Song Dynasties and the remains of the Anti-Japanese War shelter are hidden in the deep moss. The professional team designed hard-core challenges such as SRT rappelling and cave stream rappelling. From the gentle poetry of sneaking in the dark river to the wild tension of the unnamed fissure, Tonglu invites brave people to decode the hidden geocentric brushstrokes of "Fuchun Mountain Residence" with the time corridor carved by water and rock.
