Abstract: This paper studies the distribution features of network attention of show caves.The research can provide useful guidance for the development, management, and marketing of show caves in China from a new view.Using the GIS Spatial Analysis, the distribution features were studied that of the network attention of 64 A-grade show caves in China collected by Baidu Index.The results indicate that the level of network attention of A-grade show caves is generally not high;most of the potential tourists are not interested in the show caves below 3 Agrade;the spatial distribution of the network attention of A-grade show caves in China has formed three high attention bands and two high-value focus centers;the spatial pattern of network attention of Chinese A-grade show caves is northeast-southwest, and network attention center is in central Hubei Province.
