There is a flat hole in the cave, which is inclined from south to north, nearly 5 meters long, and the bottom is slightly terraced. This cave is the only way for tourists to view along the ridge. There is a vertical hole at the south end of the top, which can only be entered after the feet are advanced and the body is compressed. The north end of the cave is very narrow, with only one flat seam, only 0.2 meters wide. It can stand up, but only the flat body can be squeezed out. When it's difficult to get out, it's difficult for the people who want to get out, and it's very interesting for the audience. Iron threshold: from the snake shell to the north, high stone thin ridge, less than 2 meters wide, two cliffs. Walking about 60 meters, Shiling breaks off from the edge of the gap.
