  The "Dragon Cave" in Malu Town, Anhua County, known as the longest karst cave in China at 35 kilometers in length, is located 28 kilometers east of Dongping, the county seat of Anhua, and has been partially developed.

  Malu Town in Anhua County features towering mountains, most of which are composed of limestone. After hundreds of millions of years of erosion and dissolution, numerous caves have formed. In September 1998, seven local farmers, carrying their own dry rations and flashlights, entered the cave through an entrance approximately 100 meters high and 80 meters wide. They explored for two days and two nights and finally completed the journey. They discovered that the stalactites inside were uniquely shaped, snow-white, and incredibly beautiful. The widest area of the cave forms a chamber large enough to hold thousands of people. At a branch cave in Goulouji Village, an ancient vine with a diameter of over one meter hangs upside down, covering the cave entrance — a truly remarkable sight.

  According to experts from China University of Geosciences who conducted surveys, this is a rare cluster of karst caves, among which the "Dragon Cave" is the longest cave discovered in China to date.
