The Scenic Beauty of the Dam Ni Yuan

Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views

The Dam Ni Yuan Scenic Area: Located in Dam Town, a ancient town rich in Bo and Miao ethnic culture, 27 km south of Xingwen County, the scenic area primarily features karst landforms and natural landscapes. With its gracefully diverse mountains, crystal-clear waters, and uniquely shaped caves, it serves as an ecological tourism zone for the breeding, hatching, viewing, and scientific study of the Chinese giant salamander. Notably, the Big Fish Cave and Small Fish Cave—two underground rivers—are habitats and natural hatching grounds for the Chinese giant salamander. Every spring, over 3,000 salamander fry emerge from the caves, the largest such occurrence in China. A man-made breeding and hatching facility has been established here for research and development, achieving preliminary success and reaching leading levels both nationally and globally in this field. Currently, there are 4,020 salamanders, including 60 rare white ones.
