2nd day – Afternoon - ALu Ancient Cave


Alu Caves which is believed to be the early dwelling place of the ancestors of YI ethnic minority. The ancient Alu caves are found 169 km from Kunming. A 3,000-metre-long travel route threads through this group of colossal karst caves in which underground rivers and numerous stalaco-stalagmites and stalagmites form a natural wonder in its own right. The caverns and stalactite and stalagmite formations are spectacular, as they are enhanced by an underground river and lake, the cave tour includes a boat trip. After the boat trip we have to take cable cars downhill to go to another part of cave and have to walk quit a distance before we were out of the cave.
