You enter Jiutian Cave under a hush—the guide's torch slicing a cone of light through humid air as dripstone shadows reach toward your boots. The cave swallows the day; passages open into cavernous halls pierced by nine skylights that let dappled sunlight fall across limestone columns, underground rivers and waterfalls.
