It was with much anticipation that we left Yangshou to head over the mountains by van to the beautiful Crown Cave and Misty Village. We arrived at our hotel, the Misty Village resort and the kids and Rob and our tour guide had races in the pool. Hard to believe this place is set in the middle of the countryside. We visited the crown cave and had the place pretty much to ourselves. It was looking a bit run down, and under construction I guess it is being used far less now that they have opened the beautiful Silver Cave closer to Yangshou. However, this enormous cave is still fantastic and probably gets mostly boat traffic earlier in the day. It is the cave which has the train, the river with the boat ride in the dark with flashlights, and the waterfall. It really is like a Disney theme park, except it is real. Apparently their are almost 30 km of caves and 12 of them are open. Amazingly we had the place to ourselves for our own private tour!
Train Ride. Too dark to show the boat ride with the flashlights.
Waterfall.
More parts of the river.
Some fancy rock formations.
Beautiful abstract colours and designs here.
Nice walking along the paths in the village.
