Cave Cluster

　　Caves are known as "underground wonders." The karst formations in Guanling County are well-developed, with numerous caves clustered together, some of which contain a large number of ancient stone carvings. In 1984, the county science committee and professors and students from Nanjing University conducted field investigations in Guanling County for three consecutive summers, during which more than a hundred new caves were discovered. The main caves in the county include: Guanling Cave, Miaoming Cave, Guansuo Cave, Guanyin Cave, Gaoqing Cave, Xiayan Cave, Immortal Cave, and Peach Blossom Cave in Guansuo Town; Pinyin Cave and Sanxing Cave in Shangguan Town; Taohua Cave and Hu Family Cave in Dingyun Township; and Hanyuan Cave and Danxia Cave in Pulie Township, among others. Many of these caves have been recorded in the *Guizhou Provincial Annals: Annals of Scenic Spots*. Particularly notable is Guanling Cave, a massive cave hidden within Guansuo Ridge, with unfathomable height and width, containing underground rivers and waterfalls.
