Even though the feeling is overwhelmingly tacky ¨C think coloured lights, awkward commentary and boats full of tourists ¨C there is something sublime about the water-borne cave expedition winding through 20 hills. Longgong is 23km south of Anshun and a fairly easy day trip from there.
Bus times can vary so it's best to plan a visit early in the day to ensure you have time to get there and back ¨C do confirm timings on the day you visit. Local buses (?10, 40 minutes) depart every 30 minutes or so from Anshun's east bus station from around 7.30am until about 4pm. For the return trip, buses leave until about 5pm. For a very quick and easy trip, arrange a car and driver through your hotel.
