Huangxian Cave , lying on the south slope of Dahong Mountain in Zhongxiang County of Jingmen City, is a rare karst cave which integrates various geological wonders such as sedimentary environments, underground streams, and karst landscapes into the scene.
 
Huangxian Cave  is a long and winding cave measuring over 2,187 yards long. The mouth of the cave faces northwest and measures 328 feet and 77 yards wide. Through the extremely long period of geological change and development, the abundant limestone inside the cave has formed into the typical karst landscape like a heavenly world. Walking into the cave, you can find all sorts of wonderful rock formations everywhere. Nature has been carving the stalagmites and stalactites into stone columns, stone curtains, stone waterfalls, stone spears and stone needles. And nature doesn't forget to dress them in different gorgeous colors – red, white, yellow and green. The most attractive sight is the more than two hectares of karst basins called "Yun Pen". In rainy seasons, these basins are filled up with water.
 
People have given many of stone sculptures vivid names, such as Dongkou Xiongfeng (The Imposing Manner in the Cave Mouth), Murong Yingke (Banyan Welcomes Guest), Jigong Yangtian (Jigong Looks Up to the Sky), Die Xi Xiongmao (Butterfly Makes Fun of Panda), Dapeng Zhanchi (Roc Spread Its Wings), Shuangxiang Xishui (Two Elephants Splash in the Water), and Wanxia Mantian (A Sky full of Sunset Glow).
 
Through the ages, Huangxian Cave has attracted countless men of letters and monks who have left many cliffside inscriptions and frescos. Due to its marvelous landscape, rich cultural relics and high value geological research, it is worth being regarded as a rare karst treasure in China.
