In this episode, Lizzy ventures off the beaten path to Lichuan, a small city nestled in the mountains of western Hubei. The adventure kicks off at Tong Cave (also called Sleeping Dragon Cave), a staggering 60-kilometer-long cave system. Lizzy learns that the military once flew a helicopter inside to test the acoustics — a bizarre but true story. She hops into a car to explore the first 8.5 kilometers, and the climax comes when she watches a fire show performed deep inside the cave. It’s a jaw-dropping spectacle that she calls one of the most incredible things she’s ever done.<br><br>Next, she visits the Dash Jing ancient architecture complex, a hidden gem from the Ming and Qing dynasties. With beautifully preserved wooden buildings, intricate carvings, and stone-paved streets, it feels like stepping into a living museum. Lizzy notes that Lichuan is home to one of Asia’s biggest cave systems, rich Tujia minority culture, and jaw-dropping natural beauty. She then makes her way to Fuba Mountain, whose name means “Buddha Treasure.” The lush forest, clean mountain air, and a sparkling waterfall create a serene environment that makes her want to set up a tent and stay forever. She takes a cable car up, and the guide points out a mountain that resembles a Buddha — a shape that requires a bit of imagination.<br><br>Lizzy also explores Luan Water Village, a fairy-tale-like spot surrounded by lush mountains and crystal-clear waters. The highlight is an underground river that flows through a cave; she takes a boat ride through the dark, mysterious passage, describing it as absolutely unforgettable. The journey ends with a hands-on cultural experience: paper cutting with a local master. She learns to cut a traditional “happy wedding” design, used for wedding decorations. Throughout the trip, Lizzy’s genuine excitement and curiosity shine through — from her playful banter with the guide to her hilarious companion asking if people still fight dragons. It’s a heartfelt reminder that rural China offers magic, history, and authentic connections that no megacity can match.
Lizzy takes us to Lichuan, Hubei, where she explores a 60km cave by car, watches a fire show underground, and marvels at Ming-dynasty architecture. Her journey continues to Fuba Mountain’s cable car and a serene underground river boat ride, capped with a paper-cutting masterclass. Rural China’s magic is alive and unforgettable.
