Foreigners to remember to take their passports with. The museum is impeccable. Maybe eat something before you start as there is a lot to see. Security is everywhere and especially watch the foreigners near the more valuable and rare objects, and also near the tomb of Lady Dai as no photography is to be taken there. They watch the foreigners very carefully and so we did not attempt to take pics there. All else we could photograph. The history of Changsha and Hunan province in general are well documented and the beautiful detail of all the artifacts buried with Lady Dai's was equisite and very well preserved. Give yourself a number of hours if you wish to see all the rooms in detail.

The Yellow Dragon Cave is conveniently located on the way back from the canyon or can be reached by a local bus. After the mandatory walk through the vendors, it’s another half kilometer walk to the entrance. The walk is nice as the grounds are beautiful with ponds, pavilions, and water wheels. Here is also a giant salamander (about a meter long) on display which was fascinating to see. Visitors are sent in groups of thirty or so accompanied by a guide but after about fifteen minutes in, it becomes difficult to stay with the same group. As groups all follow slightly different routes and move in different directions, it’s amazing how most groups stay intact until the end. I of course got separated early and ended up walking through the area on my own. The caves are vast and if it’s not busy it would be easy to get lost. I walked around for over two hours and went on a boat ride but still not sure I saw everything inside. The colorful lighting enhances the visuals and on summer months, the cool temperature inside is a nice escape from the heat. Even with all the chaos, it’s an amazing cave that measures up to most of the world class caves.
