The underground inverted stone forest is located in Jiuxiang scenic area, formerly known as bat cave, because the stalactites in the cave are hanging upside down from the top of the cave and are similar to bats.

Introduction to scenic spots

Almost all the downward growing stalactites in the world are vertically downward. Only the stalactites in Jiuxiang bat cave seem to get rid of the role of the earth's gravity and become simple and lovely. From a distance, it looks like a stone forest hanging upside down, so it is praised as an underground stone forest. In fact, it's more like a lot of dried beef hanging upside down. The underground inverted stone forest is famous for its inverted stalagmites. The cave is 250 meters long, in which the air is fresh and smooth, the temperature is cool and pleasant, as if there is a natural air conditioner. Why do the stones here hang upside down. In fact, it is due to the wind. Due to the different temperature difference between the outside and inside of the cave, different wind directions are formed. In addition, the capillaries of these underground stalactites can transport water and form water droplets. When calcium carbonate is about to precipitate, they are blown away from the vertical direction by the wind, thus forming the form of side escape. So the inverted stalactite in the bat cave is bent by the wind, but it is not too much.
