2. Caves in Xiangshui River Scenic Area: The scenic area belongs to a typical Castel landform, with complete karst development. There are many caves, mineral springs and underground rivers. Its representative caves are: Xiangshui Cave: one of the water sources of Xiangshui River (Chenjiahe River), because of the fracture of the mountain, water flows out of the cracks, and the broken walls on both sides of its outlet stand upright, with a distance of only 1-2 meters, which is more than 1 meters deep into the mountain and tens of meters high. The mountain in the middle of the cave dissolved to form a "skylight", which is called "the mountain hangs over the eyes" by the common people. It is a major feature of the cave to throw stones from top to bottom, only to hear the clanging sound, but not to smell the sound of landing.

Chule Cave (Qinglong Copper): The cave is flat and waterless, and the top of some caves is karst-shaped like a milk stone resembling a dragon. When it enters the back hall from the small hole, the stalactite hanging wall, waterfall and curtain are fully developed, hanging under the milk tongue, and can play different songs. It is a major feature of this cave, so it is suggested to name it Chule Cave or a more elegant name.

Jinniu Cave: located in Xujiagou, the entrance looks like a bull's head. When entering the cave, the cave is vertically up and down. There are holes in the cave, and the karst development is complete, but some of them are damaged. Due to the difficulty in entering the cave, the internal landscape is unknown.

big-jaw cave and small-jaw cave: located in Zhoujiashan, with a height difference of more than 35 meters from the river bed to the entrance, the big-jaw cave is open, with stone curtain hanging on the wall, and the cave is divided into two floors. The small jaw hole is located above the big jaw hole. Because it climbs up from the cliff, the road is extremely dangerous, so it is difficult to enter the hole to see.

In addition, there are Luohan Cave, Shilin Cave, Lion Cave and Dicui Cave, and there are two adjacent tiankeng in Liushuping.

In addition, there are lying lions in the depression of the tree, "stone monks" formed by karst, and dressing tables in dumb beaches.
