龍 王 洞 － 地 心 之 門 (Longwang Cave － Door to the Earth Core)

龍王洞位於湖南省慈利縣內, 屬典型的喀斯特地形, 為一特大型石灰岩溶洞, 年齡達三億八千萬年, 被地質學家譽為通往地心的大門 －【地心之門】.

The Longwang Cave is situated at JiangyaTown, Cili County. It belongs to the typical Karst landform. As a super-large limestone cave with a history of 380 million years, it is among the largest and oldest limestone caves of China. The Longwong Cave is bestowed the name "Door to the Earth Core" by some geologists. 

龍王洞口右下方有一深潭, 名曰龍王潭, 與溶洞相連, 潭水四周全是陡峭石壁, 龍王洞因傳說洞外的龍王潭有龍王生活而得名.

There is a deep pond below the right side of the cave mouth, named Longwong Pond, a connection to the Longwang Cave. The pond is surrounded by steep cliffs. The Longwang Cave got its name from a legend that once a dragon king ("Longwang") lived in the deep pond outside the cave.
