This is well worth the visit and exceeded our expectations. The cave is massive! It's incredible! Getting there was a little tricky as a foreigner who does not speak much Chinese but if you want to get there cheaply ask someone at your hotel/hostel to book you a taxi (I recommend downloading Didi) to the bus station in Jianshui. Then at the bus station show them Swallow Cave off of Trip.com since it is written in Chinese under the title. Once you get your ticket you get on the bus and will have to wait a bit for it to get full. Once you leave it's only about 30 minutes there, and I would suggest showing the bus driver where you are going and he will stop and point for you when he stops at the caves. I recommend going earlier in the afternoon to guarantee grabbing a bus back. We didn't know when a bus would come and asked a family if they knew (using our translator app) and they didn't know about the buses so they ended up just driving us right back to our hotel! If you take the bus it is 11rmb one way while a private taxi is $130rmb one way. The ticket into the caves is 55rmb for an adult and 28rmb for a child.

Very nice place, worth going!
The scenery of the cave is good. You can walk in and see it. It is a low season when we go, so there are fewer people. You can take pictures along the way. The experience is very good. It's also very labor-saving to come out and take a boat. It's a good cave. It's worth going! Overall great, nice scenery, fun and fun, cost-effective, better than the Dragon Palace in Anshun.
Swallow Cave is the first karst cave in Asia. The stalactite in the cave is in a variety of poses, supplemented by lights, which makes people feel dreamlike. As soon as you enter the cave, there is an unarmed rock climbing performance, which is worth seeing. There is a performance every 20 minutes. It is recommended to walk in and take a boat back. The cost is included in the ticket price. Tickets are 28 yuan per person and scenic parking fees are 5 yuan.
I have been to several cave attractions, the largest Zhijin Cave, the most beautiful Guilin Yinziyan, this cave is also very beautiful, but the most worthwhile feature is the rock climbing and bird’s nest mining performance, which makes people take a breath while watching.
