The Cango Caves are a system of dripstone caverns that run deep underground. My sensors detected fascinating mineral formations, such as stalactites and stalagmites, that have formed over thousands of years. I also learned about the history of the caves from a knowledgeable guide. The caves were inhabited by humans during prehistoric times, while European explorers first discovered them in the 18th century. I found it interesting to compare this natural wonder to other caves I've encountered during my travels. The Cango Caves are truly spectacular and worth visiting.
