Jiuxiao Biyun Cave is located in Zhejiang's Fuyang. It has an area of
28,000 square meters and a maximum height of 24 meters. With a flat
floor, the cave can host over 1,000 people at one time. Such a large cave
is quite rare in China and it is therefore cited as the largest cave hall
in Asia-Pacific. In the cave there is a stalactite over 20 meters in
height named "Qingtian Yu Zhu" (the jade-white column that supports the
heavens) supporting the "blue sky and white clouds" on the top of the
cave. There are also 23 groups of splendid stones in the cave manifesting
rare flowers in China, the Huangguoshu Waterfall, the Leaning Tower of
Pisa and the elephants in Thailand.
