The Lingxiao Rock[1] (Chinese: 凌霄岩), or Lingxiaoyan,[2] also known as Lingxiao Cave,[3] is a karst cave[4] located in Helang Town, Yangchun, Yangjiang.[5] Characterized by the karst topography,[6] it is about 60 meters high and 30 meters wide.[7]

The stalactites in the cave are all naturally formed without any artificial carvings;[8] therefore, it is touted as the "First Cave in the South China".[9] In 2003, Lingxiao Cave was assessed as a National Geological Park in China.[10]
