    Panzhihua is an industrial city in southern Sichuan, located on the banks of the Jinsha River. Though it may not be as bustling as a metropolis, it has a unique charm. With over 2,700 hours of sunshine annually, blooming flowers, fragrant fruits, vibrant colors, and pleasant scenery, it is hailed as “a flower is a city, a city is a flower.” With an average annual temperature of around 21°C, it is the perfect choice for a warm winter getaway.

    People often compare Panzhihua with Hainan. While Hainan’s sunshine and beaches are undeniably beautiful, Panzhihua’s sunny mountains and rivers are equally enchanting. If Hainan’s fresh seafood makes your mouth water, then Panzhihua’s mountain and river delicacies will keep you coming back for more. Having said that, what are the must-visit attractions in Panzhihua?

    The famous karst landscape — Longtan Cave, where limestone layers have been dissolved and divided into steep, uniquely shaped, and stunningly beautiful peaks and peculiar sights. The wonder, serenity, beauty, and elegance of Longtan Cave transport you into a fantastical and surreal world.
