Huangxian cave

Huangxian cave

Huangxiandong, commonly known as Huangjindong, is located in the south of Dahongshan mountain range, Kedian Town, Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province, 66 kilometers away from the downtown area of Zhongxiang City. It is the core scenic spot of Dahongshan scenic spot, a national scenic spot.

"Dahongshanzhi" volume v. Xingsheng chapter contains: "the mountain of the cave is Huangxian mountain. It is said that Huangshi is resting here, so it's named." According to Institute of geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences and International Association of tourist caves, there are four world-class landscapes in Huangxian Cave: bianshichi hall, calcium diaphragm side dam, shijiangjun eroded Shiya and three arches. In particular, the 20000 square meter side stone pool in the cave hall is magnificent and magnificent, which is known as one of the most famous karst caves in the world.

Geomorphological features

According to historical records, "Huangxian mountain is located at the south foot of the mountain, under which there is Huangxian cave. Suddenly, it is clear and open, and there is Longtan, which is unfathomable." Facing the northwest, Huangxian cave has a total length of more than 2500 meters, a wall height of 100 meters and a width of 70 meters. The cave is full of twists and turns, ups and downs. Under the action of natural water and groundwater dissolution, the rich limestone has a very long history of geological development, thus forming a very peculiar cave stone forest landscape and a very rich karst landform. Stalactites can be found everywhere in the cave, with different shapes, such as stone needles, stone spears, stalagmites, stone pillars, stone towers, stone mantles and stone waterfalls. They are red, yellow, white and brown, respectively. They are jade like emeralds. The scenery is attractive, the colors are gorgeous, complicated, magnificent and magnificent.

People can't help feeling the scenery, admiring the nature of Tiangong, sighing the lack of human resources, but also loving Jiuzhou, giving people aesthetic feeling and promoting people's reverie.

Shijiangjun dissolves Shiya

The cone-shaped limestone spore on the right is called "Huangxian watch", also known as "general guard". It was formed after thousands of years under the erosion and dissolution of underground river water and the abrasion of gravel in the water. According to the Internet search by authoritative experts of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, there is no second case of the formation and form of this landscape in caves all over the world. Therefore, it is the first world-class landscape in Huangxian cave.

But according to folklore, it was the eclosion of Huangshi. At that time, Huang Shigong passed on 24 volumes of the book of war to Zhang Liang, a common man. Zhang Liang used this book of war to plan strategies and win a thousand li victory. He assisted Liu Bang to sweep the world and established the Western Han Dynasty. The Jade Emperor was so angry that he accused Huangshi Gong of revealing his secret and ordered the gods to cast their magic, which made Huangshi Gong Yu turn into this strange stone shape road. From the side, it is just like Qu Yuan who carries a sword and chants along the river. Some friends also said that this shape is very similar to the 3K party in the United States.

Stone arch landscape

The natural stone arch on the right is 12 meters high, 13 meters wide and 4 meters thick. It is the unique cave natural stone arch formed by limestone rock under the action of groundwater dissolution. It rises from the ground, just like a rainbow rising from the sky, which makes people sigh the magic and magic of the creator. This is also a spectacle that has not been found in the cave at home and abroad, so it is the second largest world-class landscape in the cave.

Calcium diaphragm dam

The flat stone platform on the right foot is called "air stage", which is said to be the place where the monkey king held the golden cudgel to show his martial arts. On the platform, there is the third world-class landscape "calcium diaphragm dam" in Huangxian cave. Here is a small spring discharged from many stone walls. The flow is very small, and it is clear throughout the year. Due to the continuous outflow of the spring, the water in the stone dam is flowing out Pure white and translucent calcium carbonate sheet and calcite sheet are deposited on the top and slope of the dam, which is similar to the film formed on the surface of boiled milk after cooling. With such a large area, karst caves are rare at home and abroad. However, the calcium diaphragm is very fragile and can not be touched by hand, because such a precious world spectacle is not renewable.

Bianshichi Hall

At the top of the hall, the landscape in front of it is often called "terraced fields", "immortal fields" and "vicissitudes of life". No matter what it is called, this place can be said to be the most distinctive place in the whole cave - known as the world's most edge stone pool landscape. The reason why it is the largest in the world is that Huangxian cave ranks first in the area and quantity of bianshichi in all the proven caves in the world.

This is also what we call the fourth world-class wonder of Huangxian cave. It has a total of 1833 edge stone pools with an area of more than 1 square meter, and the total area has reached 20000 square meters. After on-the-spot investigation by authoritative geological experts of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, they also sighed that "such a grand and spectacular karst cave landscape is rare and unique in China". When the flood season comes, the water in each side stone pool overflows. In a moment, the white waves flow and the land is covered with jade. After winter, the water is dry and the stone is dry. It seems that it has become a yellow sand stone plain with ravines. A large number of tourists stay here and forget to return. They can't help but admire the uncanny workmanship of nature. Its causes are as follows: first of all, when the water drops or flows slowly to the lower part of the cave bottom, the water will overflow from the lower pool after the low-lying area is full of water. Carbon dioxide escapes from the water at the overflow and promotes the deposition of calcium carbonate at the overflow. In this way, more and more deposits are deposited and higher and higher, and finally the edge rock dam is formed. The large and small pools surrounded by the edge stone dam are called edge stone pools. After tens of millions of years of similar reproduction, more and more edge stone pools have been collected, forming the current world wonder. According to the survey, the largest edge stone pool is 160 square meters, and the deepest is 1.4 meters.
