Climbing up to the hillside is the entrance of Bailong cave.
There are 106 karst caves in Jiubujiang Geopark, among which Bailong cave is the most representative one. Cave twists and turns deep, large-scale, as long as 7 km. The upper and lower layers are divided into three layers. The upper and middle layers are dry caves, and the lower layer is water cave. There are 18 halls inside. The cave is rich in landscape, unique in shape and colorful, just like a bright underground palace. Compared with ludiyan in Guilin, Huanglong cave in Zhangjiajie, boyue cave in Western Hunan, and inilong cave in Jiangxi not far away, these caves are all named after illusory myths, but this Bailong cave is worthy of the name: there is a "white dragon" in the cave. The top of the cave is several storeys high. Along the stone wall of the cave, a 3-meter-long white dragon climbs down. Its body is thin and long, and it is curved. Its head is like a horse. Its black eyes make the white dragon's dots fly. Dimly, the white dragon seems to come down from the sky and is still swimming. In such a large faded cliff, there is a white rock belt, which forms a divine form and a dragon horse form. It is really the work of heaven and earth. This is unique in the world, and Bailong cave is also named after it.
The landscape in the cave is fantastic. Stone mountains, stone fields, stone mantles, stone waterfalls, stone bridges, stone pillars, stone flags and other natural landscapes are everywhere, just like natural stone park. The image landscapes such as "monk Tang's journey to the west, god elephant's view of the pool, Guanyin's sitting in lotus, Queen Mother's Yao pool, white dragon's swimming in the sea, beautiful women's mirror, lady's dressing, Golden Toad's report of dawn, brother's dominance, prodigal son's return, Monkey King's exploration" are vivid and lifelike. In particular, the magnificent "Dragon Palace", where the dinghaishen needle is 29 meters high, is more than 1 meter higher and several times thicker than the dinghaishen needle in Huanglong cave. It takes several people to embrace it. Dinghaishen needle like carved doorpost, stone flowers brilliant, Yushu Qionghua, its scenery and potential, a unique domestic. The cave also shows the "three realms" of nature. There are many kinds of stone trees, stalagmites, stone vines, stone grass, stone flowers and stone grapes in the cave, which can be called Herbarium. "Animal kingdom of cave" has images such as flying in the sky, swimming in the water and running on the land, which are full of variety and lifelike. It used to be the cradle of ancient life. In the cave, there are ancient river beds with 450000 year old shells. There are also 50000 year old animal leg bones, which are identified by archaeologists as the bones of deer and pigs. There are all kinds of wonders in the "non biological world" of Dongfu. Stone terraces and stone dams are listed in the list. The stone curtain from the "canopy" along the high cave wall floated down, as high as 13 meters, magnificent, potential like a waterfall. It is more like a theater curtain, allowing the uncanny workmanship of nature to open or close. Experts believe that this stone mantle is the only one in China and Asia. And the Rushi music is unique. Some stalactites of different shapes fall down from the top of the cave like waterfalls falling from the sky, surging; some hang on the wall of the cave like ripe fruits; some hang from the ceiling like gourds, arranged in different lengths. In one place where these milk stones are concentrated, people use wooden sticks to tap the milk stones gently, which can produce different notes and produce pleasant music. If you are a master, you can also knock out music. If Du Fu, the poet, had heard this music, he would have changed the last sentence of "to Huaqing" into: "this song should only be found in the cave. It's rare to hear it in the world."
Bailong cave not only has charming landscape, but also has wonderful legend. According to legend, Xiao Bailong, the Third Prince of Xihai Dragon King, burned the bright pearl in the hall because of arson. He was shown to heaven by Xihai Dragon King and committed the crime of death. Later, he was rescued by Guanyin Bodhisattva and turned into a white horse, so that Tang Monk rode to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures. When he arrived at Huoyan mountain, the monkey king borrowed a fake banana fan from Bajiao cave. The fan made the fire glow, scorched his feet and steamed people. The little white dragon was originally a thing in the water. How could he bear it? He carried the Tang Monk back for dozens of miles. Later, when people were unprepared, he changed into the little white dragon and went to the southeast to find a place to avoid the heat. When I came to Caopo, I saw a cave at the top of the mountain. As soon as I went in, I felt cool all over. In an instant, I felt hot and dry. Then open your eyes to see the cave, it soars up and down, leaps forward and out, shuoshes the clouds and breathes, and changes the situation on the spot to create a scene. Penglai Island appears, Crystal Palace is completed, and dinghaishen needle is set up He took a look at his masterpiece and worked harder. Then built the scenery of the heavenly palace, the heavenly king's palace, the Marshal's mansion, the Bagua stove After working for a long time, little white dragon stopped and gasped for breath. For a moment, he felt happy and chanted three times in the cave. This chant is very important. The air passes through the cave, and many small holes are produced by the back shock in the cave. The cave makes a sound, and all the stones are singing. So far, in the west end of Penglai Island, through a hall, a passage and a small room, the stone curtain and stone gourd hanging on the wall can knock out a beautiful piece of music.
The scientific research shows that Bailong cave belongs to karst geology, which is a limestone cave developed and formed 300 million years ago. The research data show that the Jiubujiang Geopark is mainly composed of rock series and Permian strata. This layer is carbonate deposit in coastal shallow sea environment. Since the end of the Tertiary period of Cenozoic, the earth's crust has experienced at least three obvious intermittent uplifting movements. Due to various external forces, the uplifting process has produced faults, collapses and dislocations, and the geological relics of different ages have been gathered together. Bailong cave thus formed a wonderful and peculiar landscape. Professor Zhu Xuewen, director of the Institute of karst caves, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, praised "jingsai Huanglong cave, Qisheng reed flute rock" after inspecting Bailong cave.
Bailong cave was developed for tourists in 2001, and has become the main scenic spot of Jiubujiang scenic spot.
