Yuxi cave

It is located behind Longma mountain on the north side of Yuxi City, about 30 kilometers away from the urban area. On the way to the cave, first pass the Hongqi reservoir. Near the reservoir, there is a natural astringent well, known as "natural soda". The well water is gray, sour, bitter and astringent. It is cool to drink with brown sugar. From Hongqi reservoir to karst cave. There is a small river outside the cave, water into a waterfall, from the top of the rock zigzag down, a total of three fold, very spectacular. There is a shuishuiqing near the cave. Because of its deep and narrow ditch, the water sounds like thunder. There is also a small stone forest, and some stone pillars are more than 10 meters high. The stone forest is surrounded by two natural stone walls, so the local people call it "stone city". The total length of Yuxi karst cave is more than 300 meters, the highest point in the cave is more than 20 meters, and the maximum width is nearly 50 meters. The main tunnel has four halls and four branch tunnels. The passageway in the cave is steep, high and low, with distinct layers. There are all kinds of stalactites in the cave, completely like a crystal palace carved out of white jade. As long as you enter the cave, you will be presented with a mythical world. The towering jade trees rise from the bottom of the cave, supporting the top of the cave like exquisite carved watches. It seems that as long as they are removed, the cave will collapse. The stone curtains hanging high in the air are like waterfalls falling three thousand feet from the sky to the ground. Visitors can make a tinkling sound by tapping their fingers gently; strings of gorgeous stone flowers are in full bloom between stalagmites and pillars, which makes people imagine; the graceful stalactite peaks are like quiet girls roaming in the Crystal Palace, and they look so happy and happy. The dome shaped cave roof is extremely grand. Looking up, there are all kinds of stalactites in relief, some like chandeliers, some like clouds, some like beasts It's amazing to have everything! The stalagmites, stone flowers, stone pillars, stone mantles, stone statues, Stone Beasts and so on carved by the heavenly craft in the cave are all white and crystal clear. These stalactites give people the feeling that they are more exquisite and transparent than crystal and whiter than snowflakes. They are really spotless. The air in the cave is very cool, and sometimes you can hear the sound of water dripping from the upside down stalactite tip. At the junction of the main tunnel and the second Chadong, there is a clear spring. There are a pair of stone statues sitting in the pool, just like the golden girl bathing in the pool. Yuxi belongs to the karst area of eastern Yunnan, and its karst landform is prominent. According to the geological department's investigation, Yuxi cave belongs to the Sinian dengyingyan formation, which has been formed for 600-700 million years. And the formation of the cave, about 10 to 20 million years ago. After rain and groundwater continuously dissolve, sculpt and decorate limestone, a magical crystal cave is formed over time. So far, stalactites are still developing in the first half of the cave. It's really a beautiful enjoyment to visit Yuxi cave!
