Zhijin Cave
Description
A severely underrated place in Guizhou!!
The Zhijin Cave, known as the foremost of China‘s top ten peculiar caves, is truly beautiful.
Zhijin Cave: the magical cave formed over 10,000 years.
"After visiting Huangshan Mountain, you won‘t want to see any other mountains. After visiting Zhijin Cave, you won‘t want to see any other caves."
The cave is worth the effort. The stalactites, stalagmites, stone buds, and stone flags in the cave form a variety of karst landscapes. The cave passages crisscross, and the water is gurgling. The cave is large in scale, diverse in form, and colorful, making it a geological wonder of the world.
Highlights: The natural landscape is characterized by karst landforms and is known as the "King of Chinese Caves" and the "Encyclopedia of Karst Landforms". It is a tourist attraction that integrates popular science, adventure, research, tourism, and vacation, and is the only world geological park in Guizhou Province.
Zhijin Cave is the largest and most well-developed karst landform in the country, known as the foremost of China‘s top ten karst caves. The cave maintains a constant temperature
of 10-16 degrees Celsius, making it a perfect natural air conditioner in summer. Inside the cave, there are narrow passages to squeeze through, slopes to climb, and places to rest. The ground is quite slippery, so be careful when walking. It‘s advisable to carry some snacks on your back.

The Zhijin Cave is like a vast underground palace, complete with a velvety moss around the first ’reception hall’ cave and sparking rare rock formations though out. It’s also China’s largest, at a gaping 173 metres wide and 150 meters tall at the cavern’s largest point.
Yingbin Hall is more than 200 meters long. Because of the sunshine from the outside, the hall is covered with moss. In the top of the hall, there is a round hole, through which the sun can go directly to the bottom of the cave. On the edge of the hole, there are drops of water, falling down continuously. In the sunshine, all the drops are like hundreds of thousands gold coins.
Thus the hole is called Luoqian Hole (means coins are falling down from the hole). In the little hall beside the Yingbin Hall, there is a stalactite, which is more than 10 meters high and in a shape of the mushroom cloud formed after nuclear bomb explodes, hence the name of Mushroom-Cloud Hall. In the hall there is also a pond named Shadow Spring, because you can appreciate the shadows of the stalagmites in the cave.
Sutra Hall gets its name for the arhat shaped stalactite. The hall is about 200 meters long and 50 meters wide. In the center of the hall there is a pool, covering an area of 300 square meters. The pool is divided into two parts by the stalactite, hence the name Riyuetan Pool.
Pagoda Forest, also called Golden Pagoda Forest, covers an area of over 16000 square meters. There are more than 100 stone pagodas in the hall, which are in golden color. Wangshan Lake is a underground lake, which is 170 meters long, over 40 meters wide.
