Zhijin Cave

Lying in Zhijin County, 152 km away from Guiyang and 123 km away from Anshun, Zhijin Cave is a wonder created by nature and is honored "King of All Caves". It is enormously large with fantastic views. Different forms and types of karst caves that may exist in the world can be found in it. The unusual moonstones and the gooseneck growths in the crystalline palace are a rare sight and remain a mystery to scientists.

The sights to be seen inside the caves are indeed spectacular and the cave systems there are rock formations of almost every conceivable kind, all of outstanding beauty, Besides the large number and variety of formations that have been produced in the normal karstic, there are also some extremely convoluted and rare rock formations, gypsum cave swards, enormous transparent blossom stalagmites, beautifully-formed pebbles, fungus-shaped stone and an underground pagoda-shaped and pinnacled curtain of stupendous scale.

In this huge underground palace, visitors can see various waterfalls, huge stone curtains, stone flowers, stone pillars, stonewalls, even stone flags and stone brushes. It is hard for anyone to describe this wonder of nature and nature has made them so vivid and so splendid that when coming in, visitors are as dazzled and excited as if stepping into a fairyland. One seems to see the Crystal Palace of the Dragon King or the Gorgeous Southern Gate of the Heaven, or the Fairies and Immortals. It all depends on ones imagination.  

In the cave, visitors feel they are stepping into a stone world and there are forests, mountains, rivers, valleys, waterfalls, caves in cave or above cave, even a pastoral land. And here and there one can see stone bridges, terraced fields and zigzagging paths leading to a further place. Visitors are often enthralled and intoxicated by the powerful scenery in the cave. Visitors have to remember the size of this underground world, and only half of the parts are open to the tourists. It takes at least three hours to enjoy most of the 47 galleries. There are always some strange looking stone formations or unexpected surprises.
