Hidden water cave

Hidden water cave

Hubei Tongshan Yinshui cave is located in Dafan, Tongshan County, the capital of nuclear power in Hubei Province, at the foot of Jiugong Mountain and the Bank of Fushui lake. It is 12 kilometers away from Tongshan County and 130 kilometers away from Wuhan City, with convenient transportation.

Yinshui cave is named after two rivers hidden in it. Compared with the underground river caves discovered in China, Tongshan Yinshui cave has both modern underground river and ancient river landscape, and its landscape quality and distribution structure are better. For example, the developed Benxi Water Cave in Liaoning, Anshun Longgong in Guizhou, Guanyan in Guilin, Lipu fengyuyan in Guangxi, Zhangguan water cave in Chongqing, etc. are either less underground river landscapes, or the landscapes are only distributed in the upper ancient passage of the underground river. It belongs to the same grade as the Tongshan Yinshui cave. The xiaoheli cave near Guanyan, Longma cave in Pingguo, Guangxi, and longzhai cave in Liucheng have many underground river landscapes and high grade, which have not yet been developed.

The stalactites of Yinshui cave in Tongshan are pure in texture, rarely weathered, and the main landscapes such as "carp leaping over the dragon's gate", "tianjiangshen boots", "Yutu Guantao", "Hanshan Temple ancient bell", "aquatic stone lotus", "Swan's kiss", "Jinyin waterfall", "immortal field", "MALIANG magic pen", "snow mountain flying fox", "lightning and thunder", "Eight Immortals seeing off guests" are huge The shape is realistic. The landscape of Yinshui cave in Tongshan mountain is a high-value tourist cave, which combines the beauty of form, dynamic, color, sound and hazy of nature. Visitors can not only take a boat and listen to the waves of the underground river, but also take a rail car to experience the rapid change of scenery in the cave and touch the nature on foot.

Known as "Dongtian Huazhong Zhonghua Tiandong" and "mysterious underground pearl Palace".

The main tunnel of Yinshui cave is 5000 meters long and 5180 meters long,

The average height is 20 meters and the width is 25 meters. The space is wide, with many stalagmites, stone pillars, stalactites, etc.; the water in the cave, mist, fish and crabs playing, and flying swallows; the Dragon Palace water mansion, Yushu stone forest, mural Gallery, etc. Located in Yinshui village, Dafan Town, the entrance of the cave faces north. Under the 30 meter high stone wall, two streams flow into the cave, forming a 10 kilometer long undercurrent, so it is called Yinshui cave. The hole is 25 meters wide and 2 meters high. After entering the hole for 10 meters, the space is spacious, 40 meters high and about 10 kilometers long. There are stone pillars, stone waterfalls, stone bells, stone curtains, stalagmites, stone flowers, stone curtains, "pyramids", "Dragon Palace cave", "Queen Mother flat peach", "Biliu Cuixi", "Tianjiang Shenbian", "ancient temple jade seed", "Three Gorges of the Yangtze River", "eight hundred Arhats", "Yushu supporting the sky", "Donghai Shengui", "chick eagle spreading its wings", "Bagua labyrinth" and other scenery in the cave, which can accommodate ten thousand people It's a four story stone building. One hundred meters away from the entrance of the cave, there is a big "stone turtle", which can play music with sound. It is called "Donghai turtle". In the cave, the big hole sets the small hole, the upper hole connects the lower hole, crisscross, zigzag. The air in the cave is fresh, there are holes in the cave, and the holes are interlinked. It seems that there is no road at the foot, and there is another cave. The water drops clear the pool, the streams sing, the springs sing, the caves echo, such as playing beautiful classical music. There are countless stalactites of different sizes standing in the cave. When Ming Dynasty scholar Zhu Tingli visited the cave, he left a hymn of "visiting yinshuidong".

Three scenes

There are thirty-six classic scenic spots in the cave, such as "the immortals protect the pill", "the kiss of the swan", "the golden waterfall", "the silver waterfall", "the immortal makes the field", "the heaven general boots", "the Hanshan ancient bell", "the jade rabbit looks at the peach", "the Dragon Palace cave", "the carp leaps over the Dragon Gate", "the jade tree supports the sky", "the young eagle spreads its wings", "the Guanyin sends off the son", "the eight trigrams labyrinth", and so on“ It is known as "three steps, one rock, five steps, one scene, ten steps, one change". The tour of yinshuidong scenic spot can be divided into three parts: 1 / 3 of the upstream can take a boat for sightseeing, 1 / 3 of the midstream can take a small train for sightseeing, and 1 / 3 of the downstream can walk to contact the karst landform. The unique way of tour is the first in Asia.

The first scene "Dragon Palace cave": into the cave is expected to be a clear water, mountains reflection, detour forward, visible "Dragon Palace" scenery.

All kinds of strange stones can refer to things as images, such as "heavenly whip", "ancient temple jade bell" and "cangyan Huagai". It is hard to count the large and small stone towers, such as the Leaning Tower in Italy and the pyramid in Egypt. In the second scene, Yushu stone forest is more than 700 meters long, with canyons on both sides, showing countless stone bells, stalagmites, stone flowers, stone curtains and stone tables.

Water and dust pond, golden carp swim slowly.

In the third scene, "there are mountains in the cave, caves in the mountains, water and waterfalls" and other charm.

The undercurrent whirled, and countless branches curled up. The stone pillars of Yinshui cave are tall and strange. Underground river crystal clear, waterfall turbulence, drooping shiteng. Some cave stones are transparent and colorful, and some stalactites are as musical as zither. Because the entrance of Yinshui cave was silted up by sand, it was not discovered by local villagers until these years? These years? I went there before I developed it in high school, at least 10 years ago. There are some unknown secrets hidden in the cave, which can be compared with the famous Anshun Dragon Palace in Guizhou and the Huanglong cave in SUOXIYU in Hunan. It is a large karst cave in Hubei.

The origin of the name

Yinshui cave is named after two rivers hidden in it. It's not unusual to have mountains and caves, but because of the water and the spirit of the cave, we can't help feeling God's special love. Compared with the underground river caves discovered in China, Tongshan Yinshui cave has both modern underground river and ancient river landscape, and its landscape quality and distribution structure are slightly better. Such as Benxi Water Cave in Liaoning, Longgong in Anshun in Guizhou, Guanyan in Guilin in Guangxi, fengyuyan in Lipu, Zhangguan water cave in Chongqing, the landscape of underground river is either less or only distributed in the upper ancient passage of underground river. The underground rivers of xiaoheli cave, Longma cave in Pingguo, Guangxi, and longzhai cave in Liucheng, which belong to the same grade as the Yinshui cave in Tongshan, have many landscapes and high grades, but they have not yet been developed. Secondly, the stalactites of Yinshui cave in Tongshan are pure in texture and rarely weathered, and their main landscapes include "carp leaping over the dragon's gate", "tianjiangshen boots", "jade rabbit watching peach", "Hanshan Temple ancient bell", "aquatic stone lotus", "Swan's kiss", "Jinyin waterfall", "xianrentian", "MALIANG magic pen", "snow mountain flying fox", "lightning and thunder", "Eight Immortals seeing off guests", etc The huge volume and realistic shape are rare scenery. Moreover, the landscape of Tongshan hidden water cave has the beauty of form, dynamic, color, sound and obscurity of nature. It has the most aesthetic types of image, such as male, strange, beautiful, quiet and mysterious. It is a tourist cave with high ornamental value. Its interesting way of sightseeing is unique.

Traffic situation

There are underground streams, karst landforms and other geological landscapes in the hidden water cave, which have the value of tourism development and scientific research. The development of Yinshui tunnel is progressing smoothly. The diversion channel, tunnel road and dam project with an investment of more than 10 million yuan have been completed and opened to the public in 2005 to receive tourists. The completed special road for nuclear power passes through the entrance of the cave, and the two expressways, Daqing Guangzhou and Hangzhou Ruili, are also connected 800 meters away from the entrance of the cave, forming a traffic network extending in all directions, which is one of the "first line" and "two circles" for the development of tourism industry in Tongshan County of Xianning City.
