Sanmenhai Area
Nestled among the karst peaks of Fengshan County, Hechi, Guangxi, the Sanmenhai Area is a cluster of collapsed skylights connected by an underground river. The cave ceilings collapsed and linked with the surface, leaving seven skylights arranged like a string of beads resembling the Big Dipper, with three currently accessible by boat. The journey begins on a bright lake before entering a dark cave, then emerging back into the light, with the scenery of mountains, water, caves, and sky alternating before your eyes—creating the illusion of "seas within mountains and gates above seas," which inspired the name Sanmenhai. Geologists and cave researchers call this skylight cluster the "Window of the World" and the "Karst Geology Museum," as it remains largely untouched by human development. During the boat tour, the first stretch of water forms a lake encircled by cliffs, its surface a deep blue. The second skylight, known as the "Half-moon Skylight," reveals a rock opening resembling a crescent moon hanging above. The innermost skylight passage is deep and maintains a constant temperature—warm in winter and cool in summer. When sunlight slants through the opening onto the water, the turquoise lake and submerged rock walls reflect like a piece of jade immersed in water. The tour is primarily by boat, alternating between bright lakes and dark caves. Each passage through shadowy waterways is met with light from the skylights, offering perfect photo opportunities on sunny days when the water displays distinct layers of color. Due to its remote location, a round-trip to Fengshan town requires planning for travel time. The experience is boat-centric and pairs well with other karst views in the county on the same day.Fengshan · 37.3km from Bama

The scenic area itself is very large. For some reason, although the geomagnetic area is said to have negative oxygen ions, the air didn't smell fresh. In contrast, the outdoor air was much fresher. The other large cave behind it, with its stunning lighting, was even more breathtaking, creating a truly unique and enchanting atmosphere.

This cave is quite famous, and it's said that the Earth's magnetic field can cure diseases, which attracts many tourists. Actually, you only visit two caves. The second cave is quite ordinary and requires climbing up and down ladders inside. The highlight is the first cave, where you can sit down, have tea with your parents, and experience the Earth's magnetic field.

It's definitely worth visiting. Unlike ordinary caves, the core area is as beautiful as a crystal chandelier—the name is truly fitting. However, there's a persistent problem: someone keeps shouting loudly, and once one starts, everyone else seems to catch it and starts yelling incessantly. It's incredibly noisy, and the staff doesn't seem to care.

The scenery is beautiful, the water is green, and the caves are unique, making it worthwhile to take a boat trip! The boat tickets are a bit pricey, the boat trip lasts less than half an hour, and local villagers are allowed to mark their own parking areas and charge 20 yuan per car!
