Description

황금동 (Hwanggeum Dong, Gold Cave) was named after a gold mine, the cave was discovered during the mining and is now open to the public. Nevertheless, visitors are equipped with helmets. However, it seems this cave is not intended as a site for foreign tourists by the Chinese government and so it is not published. We believe the sources we had were more or less reliable, but they are all gone, they are neither online nor in archives. Currently, there is no trace of this site on the web. Probably the show cave was closed.
