Xianqiaodong Park – light, caves and extreme

Xianqiaodong Park (仙桥洞) is a unique place near Hangzhou where ancient karst caves meet modern attractions. The main natural highlight is the Tyndall effect: sunlight piercing through openings in the rocks creates magical light pillars. And for adrenaline lovers – a 990‑meter glass slide “Xianqiao Hangpiao” and a giant net over a 68‑meter depression.
