Menfudo Limestone Cave

面不動鍾乳洞

High above Dorogawa town, this dome-shaped limestone cave complex has stalactites and stalagmites, illuminated by colored lights. The path is a little slippery and has low overhangs, so the rental helmets are recommended. Access is by a quirky monorail train, shaped like a wooden log. The observatory near the cave entrance has sweeping views and a rest area with hot and cold drinks and toilets.
