Located 30km from Benxi are the Benxi Water Caves, a natural wonder that features a 3km-long river inside stalagmite and stalactite-infested caves. The entry ticket to the caves is Y85 and Y5 for a buggy cart ride from the main gate to the entrance. Apart from the 45-minute boat trip visitors can first walk through the caves to get a feel of the environment. One can't be fault if one feels that the site is overly commercialized as the caves are not short of plastic replicas of dinosaurs, fossils, cavemen and even a dragon that adorn the inside surroundings.

Take one of the red buses going towards Xiao3 Shi4 (8 RMB) and tell the bus driver you want to get off at "shui dong". There's a petrol station with a red roof at the turn-in to the caves, on your right.
