General Yan cave

Songzi general cave is famous in urban and rural areas for its clearness, strangeness, seclusion and quietness. It is said that the ruins of the state of BA in the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period were lost in the war. General Yan led the rest of his troops to escape into the cave and sealed it with huge stones to resist the enemy. When the enemy retreated and wanted to get out of his cave, he searched for his exit but could not. He was killed by hunger and cold. General Yan's cave got its name from this.

Main attractions

Barrage dam, North and South attached dam:

The 8968 meter dam and the North-South dam are like a long dragon lying on the ground. It is the most powerful artificial earth dam in Asia, holding up a "high gorge and flat Lake". When you drive on the winding mountain road, you can see many Lake islands along the way. The number of bends on the mountain road is many times more than that of the "Eighteen bends on the mountain road". Many of the group members who were not carsick could not help but feel dizzy. The mountain road is too narrow and there are so many bends. It's unbearable. Everyone is looking forward to arriving at the destination, general Yan cave, as soon as possible. It's not easy to come to general Yan's cave. The huge cave and the quiet underground lake are flowing face to face. A cool wave comes with it, and the impetuous resentment is swept away. When you enter the cave, you suddenly see a vast world. Although the light is very dark, it highlights its mystery and strangeness. No wonder this cave can hide thousands of troops. Then we took a boat to swim in the underground lake. The water seems to be more than one meter deep, clear to the bottom. The top of the cave on the lake is high and low. When it is low, you have to lie down to avoid being hit by your head.

Yanjiangjun cave has complex terrain structure, unique natural landscape and rich historical and cultural connotation, which can be divided into three sections. The first section is "Longtan Shenzhu". In the cave, you can see the magnificent scenery of "Dragon Palace". On the top of the cave, there is a stalactite inserted directly into the center of the pool, which is the "Zhenhai God pillar" in the Longtan. Around the pool, there is a ring of crystal clear pebbles, which is the "dragon bed". This scene is amazing and spectacular. The second scene: "Queen Mother hanging curtain". There is a screen made of stalactite in the cave. There are delicate water flow lines on the surface. The small flashing water drops seem to be threaded through. At first glance, they look like a jade bead hanging curtain. It is said that the seven daughters of the queen mother often went to Longtan to bathe. The Queen Mother followed her every time and stood in front of the screen to watch, so as to prevent the fairy from stealing anything. There were a lot of stalagmites, flowers and curtains in the cave. The third scene: "general's cave". In the cave, there are various weapons of "dianjiangtai", "martial arts hall" and "general's tomb".

Jishui is located at the junction of Jingzhou, the Three Gorges and Zhangjiajie in Hunan Province, which is the center of the "Golden Triangle". There are several natural melting caves in it. I think the reason why there are so many mountains and caves in it is mostly due to the local atmosphere of Zhangjiajie. It should belong to a landform. When the car enters the water, the first thing you see is the water and the lake. There are many lakes and many waters. No wonder there is a saying that "the water is given by heaven, and Zhong lingyuxiu is beautiful". To go to the general Yan cave, you must first pass the Jishui dam and the Jishui lake. Jishui lake has 37 square kilometers of vast water area and nearly 600 million cubic meters of storage capacity. The lake is vast, with microwave waves, green water in spring, fish in summer, long water in autumn, snow in winter, charming and romantic in all seasons. There are 10 residential areas scattered on the lake, 58 harbor branches developed around the lake, and 450 "green islands" rising in the lake .
