It was officially opened in May 2000 and approved as kesang Karst Cave National Forest Park by the State Forestry Administration in 2003. In the past few years, tekesang Karst Cave National Forest Park has gradually increased the construction of the forest park in line with the development idea of management and construction. The forest park has built a reception service center, a European style wooden building, a European style wooden comprehensive hall, 30 standard guest rooms with frame structure, 8 Villa guest rooms, 10 European style small wooden houses and 10 Kazakh yurts, which can be connected at the same time Accommodation and other services for 200 people.

development history

Kesang Karst Cave National Forest Park is located in a mountain structure landform eroded by glaciers. At an altitude of 1500-3500 meters, there are thick Quaternary sediments. The Quaternary ancient glacial remains are well preserved, with Jiaofeng, Renji, bingdou, bingkan and glacial lakes all over the park. The end moraine dike and side moraine dike accumulation remains are very obvious, which are of great scientific research value, especially in the forest park There are karst landform distribution in kaster, forming a unique kesang karst cave, which is identified by experts as the most Western Karst cave in China.

Main attractions

The proven part of kesang karst cave is nearly 3 kilometers long. The width of the cave is different. The widest part is 12 meters. The narrow part only allows people to crawl through. At the top of the cave and the bottom of the wall, there are beautiful stalactites, stalagmites, stone flowers and stone mushrooms. The color is mainly milky white and cream yellow, and the color is green, blue and black,

All kinds of colorful and fantastic scenery in the cave can be called "dream world". It has high ornamental and scientific research value.

Karst cave Forest Park

Kesang karst cave Forest Park is an area where subalpine coniferous forest and subalpine grassland crisscross. There are tall and straight spruce trees in the park. The old spruce trees over 200-300 years old are all over the forest. The forest and grassland crisscross each other, forming a beautiful scenery like poetry and painting. On the vast grassland, famous flowers and different flowers are blooming and colorful. When spring comes to the park, the snow remains and the earth turns green. Xialaikesang is full of flowers, green trees and ice peaks, horse racing with sheep, and melodious pastoral songs. In August, the mountain is full of fruits, red and yellow. In October, the snow is vast and green.

Kesang cave

The proven part of kesang karst cave is nearly 3 kilometers long, with different width. The widest part is 18 meters, and the narrow part only allows people to crawl through. There are a lot of moonmilk stone deposits in the cave, which vividly reflects the local climate change during the Quaternary period. At the top of the cave and at the bottom of the wall, there are beautiful stalactites, stalagmites and stone mushrooms. The colors are mainly milky white and cream yellow, supplemented by green and black. They are gorgeous, colorful and wonderful. All kinds of colorful wonderful scenes in the cave can be called "dream world". The value of ornamental research is very high.

The content of negative oxygen ions in caves ranges from 80000 to 100000 / cm3, and in some places it is as high as 160000 / cm3. High negative oxygen ion is extremely beneficial to human health and longevity, and it is an ideal base for recuperation and rehabilitation.

Tianshan fold

The surface forms of mountains are peculiar and diverse, some of which are parallel to each other and extend for thousands of kilometers, some of which are overlapped and crisscrossed with each other, with mountains in the mountains and mountains outside. According to the height of the mountain, it can be divided into high mountain, middle mountain and low mountain. Those above 3500 meters above sea level are called high mountains, those between 1000 and 3500 meters above sea level are called middle mountains, and those below 1000 meters above sea level are called low mountains. According to the origin of mountains, they can be divided into fold mountains, fault mountains, fold fault mountains, volcanoes and erosion mountains. Fold mountain is formed by the upward bending and arching of the strata in the crust under the compression of horizontal force. The fault mountain is formed when the rock strata are subjected to the vertical force, which causes the rock strata to fracture and then be uplifted. Himalayas is a typical fold mountain, Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi is a fault mountain, and Tianshan Mountain is a fold fault mountain.

Each layer of rock represents a different geological age, and ancient fossils are often found here.

Gasler glacier lake (Kazakh Green Lake)

Glacial lake is a kind of lake formed by glacial pits and moraines blocking glacial troughs. Glaciers flow slowly in the valley. When glaciers flow, they erode and gouge the terrain in various ways. Glaciers move forward on their own track, carrying a lot of sand and rocks, which will gradually accumulate. Glacial deposits can block rivers or glaciers themselves, form glacial deposits, and finally form lakes.

Gasler glacier lake is a typical moraine lake. At an altitude of 3200 meters, there is a large amount of rock and sediment accumulation at the outlet of the lake. The surface of the lake is about 200 hectares. The water is green and the surface of the lake remains stable. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side is alpine grass mat, beautiful scenery.

The water curtain cave

Water curtain cave is a small and characteristic scenic spot in kesang forest park. Two mountain springs float down from the cliff more than 50 meters high, forming a waterfall, and the fall of the waterfall changes into a rain curtain. There is a big natural hole on the stone wall behind the curtain. People can go around the water curtain and enter the big hole. Looking into the cave, there is a dark wind passing by. I don't know how deep it is. Coming here reminds us of the monkey king in Huaguo Mountain. Water curtain cave also got its name.

The falling water banged on the rocks. Surrounded by mountains, the echo boomed. Green trees and yellow flowers set off each other, and people set them like fairies.

Quaternary glacial remains

Ice boulder

Glaciers have a strong transport capacity, which can move a large number of loose rock debris formed by glaciers erosion and rocks falling on hillsides (along with glaciers movement) to a long distance. They can also move large rock blocks to a very high position under the influence of underlying terrain. After the melting of glaciers, all kinds of materials transported by glaciers accumulate, which are collectively referred to as moraines. Among them, the transported huge gravel is called moraine gravel or ice drift gravel.

Moraine ridge

The so-called moraine ridge is the huge rocks transported and accumulated by glaciers in a ridge shape. Moraine ridge is a typical fourth season glacial relic, which is common in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau of China. There are few such large-scale moraine ridges at low altitude.

Iceberg

In the upper part of the valley, where the source is close to the peak and watershed, there is always a catchment funnel. When the climate became cold and began to develop glaciers, the funnel near the top of the mountain was first occupied by ice and snow. Ice and snow accumulated to a certain extent in the collecting funnel and flowed to form glaciers. Glaciers have a huge eroding effect on the valley bottom and its edge. It works like a carpenter's plane and file. The original funnel is gradually eroding into a basin shape surrounded by mountains on three sides, just like a rattan chair. This kind of terrain is called an iceberg. Most of the ice cubes develop at the elevation near the snow line.

General valley glaciers, often climb the ice ridge, can see the vast snow basin. When the glaciers disappear, the bottom of the basin is an iceberg lake. Bingdou lakes are often seen in high mountains. They are regularly distributed at a certain height, representing the height of the snow line of the ancient glacial age.
