    Attractions:

    • Duo Jun Cave: Located on the west bank of Zhitian River in Zhongtun, 20 kilometers south of the county seat. Zhitian River, formerly known as Zhiliu River, is a tributary of the Wujiang River, originating from the ancient Niucheshan Ridge in Hezhang, Guizhou. The river flows eastward and then southward, with the upper reach known as Liusha River and the lower reach as Rewater River, with Zhitian River in the middle. The riverbanks are lush with green mountains, dense grass, and deep forests. Legend has it that the river used to flow northward into Changgou but was redirected by Luo Yingxiu, a sage in northeastern Yunnan folklore, who carved out several channels through the peaks and cliffs. The river now cascades southeast, creating a jade-like belt that winds around the Duo Jun Cave on the right bank, forming a stunning landscape known as the "Jade Belt Heavenly Palace."
    • Hui Bo Cave: This cave complements Duo Jun Cave and is filled with stalactites and various scenic spots like "Tianyun Sacred Turtle," "Peacock Opening Screen," "Lion Returning to the Cave," "Two Dragons Seizing the Treasure," "Underground Great Wall," "Shallow Waters," "Mercy Boat," and "Group Dragons Paying Homage." It is a breathtaking sight to behold.
