If the thunder reverberates, you will arrive at the waterfall of curling cave. When you go up the stone steps, the sound of the waterfall is even louder. Suddenly, a waterfall falls from the gap on the right side of the cave top. It is more than 20 meters high, and its momentum is like ten thousand horses galloping. Waterfall landing, like flying pearls splashing jade, meteors flying, Russia and into the bottom of the cave, invisible, amazing. Zigzag up the stone steps, close to the waterfall, suddenly feel the cool wind, misty.

The waterfall in the cave is located 50 meters down the cave. It flows out from the underground river. The flow is more than 200 L / s in rainy season, and the drop height is nearly 20 meters.

The opening of the curling hole faces the sky and is more than 40 meters deep. Looking down, the cold comes and the hole doesn't see the bottom, so it's called curling. Visitors can walk on the stone steps to reach the bottom of the cave. The waterfall in the curling cave pours down from the top of the cave about 15 meters high. The sound of the waterfall is loud and deafening. The entrance of Chaozhen cave faces to the west, facing a deep gully in front, with Qingfeng on its back. Looking from the front of the cave, the surrounding peaks stand upright, just like a hundred monks pilgrimage to seek truth, from which the name of the cave comes. In the cave, the stalagmites are everywhere. One of the big stalagmites looks like "Guanyin", which is called "Guanyin statue". There is a "skylight" on the top of the hole, penetrating a bunch of sunlight, just like a half moon, also known as "a line of sky", because there is only a ray of sunlight.

On the stone tablet at the entrance of the cave, Guo Moruo, a literary giant of the generation, wrote a poem after touring the curling Cave: "the silver river flows into the curling cave, the way is the Dragon Palace, the letter is false. The pearls on the wall fly for rain, and the stars turn into nothing. Instant crescent wheel full, long thunder bursts call. It's so strange to overpower the two dragons that they are isolated in this scene.

When you get out of Shuanglong cave and climb up the iron ladder, you can hear the roar of the waterfall in the cave. It's like thunder reverberating, and you'll get to the lower waterfall of curling cave. When you go up the stone steps, the sound of the waterfall is even louder.

scenic spot

Shuanglong Cave Scenic Spot is composed of three scenic spots: karst cave, Lutian, Dapan and one scenic spot: mountain bridge. Shuanglong cave is composed of three caves, namely Shuanglong cave with "a boat through the cave, a lot of scenery", curling cave with "a waterfall falling down, ice and snow flying in the cave" and Chaozhen cave with "a thousand ways to connect the earth, a line through the heaven". They are also called Xiadong, Zhongdong and Shangdong in turn. The three caves have their own characteristics. Shuanglong cave is beautiful with many scenery. Curling cave is dangerous with waterfall in the cave. Chaozhen cave is strange with a line of sky view. It is famous in the world for its three special sightseeing ways of "lying on a boat, watching waterfall and appreciating stone". It can be called the three unique tourist attractions.

Outer cave

Shuanglong cave, 520 meters above sea level, is composed of inner cave, outer cave and ear cave. The entrance is xuanlang, and the stalactites hanging on both sides are like dragon heads, so it is named. The outer cave is spacious, with an area of 1200 square meters, like a great hall, which can accommodate thousands of people. The annual temperature is about 15.2 ℃, warm in winter and cool in summer. At this point in the hot summer, there is a sense of "sweating like rain on the mountain, and being cool when you enter the cave". When it is hot in midsummer, there are nearly a thousand people outside the cave every day to cool off. The three characters of "Shuanglong cave" on the west wall of the cave entrance are said to be written by the Tang people; the two characters of "Dongtian" on the east wall are the calligraphy of Wu Lin, a calligrapher of the Song Dynasty; and the one line of "36 Dongtian" on the top of the cave is the handwriting of Yuan Laoyu, an outstanding calligrapher of the Kuomintang in modern times. If Shuanglong cave is "Dragon Palace", then the outer cave is "dragon hall". There is a "stone waterfall" hanging on the west wall, which is brown and yellow, just like a flood peak. It is formed by the long-term drip distillation of groundwater containing calcium carbonate. In front of them are Jingshi, such as "camel looking up", "stone frog peeping at the cave", "lion stepping forward", "golden harrier spreading its wings" and so on. On the east side of the exit of the outer cave is the word "long er", which was written by Jiang lianseng, a scholar in the early Republic of China.

Inner cave

There is a huge screen stone between the inner and outer holes, which only leads to the waterway. It is more than 10 meters long, more than 3 meters wide, and less than half a meter high. This pass is called "toad mouth". According to the ancient poem, "there is a spring in the hole. If you want to find the spring source, lie in a boat; when you get on the boat, don't worry that the hole is small, and go up against the water to leave the cave." It means that if you want to see the inner cave, you have to lie on your back and go against the water. The bottom of the screen stone is only 7-10 cm. Once you look up, you may break your nose and forehead. As long as you lie on your back, you'll be surprised without danger and full of fun. It can be regarded as one of the best ways to visit, and also has the reputation of "water and stone wonders". These four characters are carved at the entrance of the inner cave. I don't know who wrote them. So far, there is no way to check them. The area of the inner cave is twice as large as that of the outer cave. Due to the peculiar shape and ingenious layout of stalactites and stalagmites, and the different dissolution of siliceous rocks in limestone, various peculiar landscape stones are formed, which makes the landscape in the cave unique and changeable. It's like being placed in the crystal dragon palace, worthy of being called the world of dragon. There are many scenic spots in the inner cave, such as "Yellow Dragon spits water", "upside down bat", "colorful clouds cover the moon", "Tianma XingKong", "frog steals grass", "Shouxing and Xiantao". Among them, "dragon claw", "turtle explores the sea", "turtle and snake coexist", "Jinhua ham" and so on are residual limestone and siliceous rock, which are vivid and unique. There are two rocks on the top of the cave, one is like a green dragon, the other is like a yellow dragon. The scales and claws of the dragon are shining and dancing around, very similar in shape. Jin Luxiang, a poet of the Yuan Dynasty, wrote a poem: "the double dragon covers on the stone are similar in shape, and the old dragon pan must be deeper." The most amazing thing is that there is a stone bar on the left side of the cave, which spews out a clear spring, as if the dragon's mouth is gurgling. If you can drink a few mouthfuls, it will be cool, sweet and very enjoyable. According to the cloud, this was discovered by Yu Dafu when he traveled here. There is an underground river in the cave, which originates from the upper part of Chaozhen cave. It passes through Chaozhen cave, passes through curling cave and enters Shuanglong cave. The relative height difference is about 300 meters. The flow of underground river is generally 21 L / s, and the annual total water volume is 650000 cubic meters. The water temperature is about 16.2 ℃.

Curling cave, with its entrance facing the sky, is a collapsed cave with a big belly and deep belly. The vertical distance from the entrance to the bottom of the cave is about 80 meters. Entering the cave is like entering a pot, so it is named. There is a hanging waterfall in the cave, which is inexhaustible all year round, with a drop of 15 meters. The water poured out from the back edge of stalactite hanging upside down on the top of the cave, like a dragon rushing forward and the sound of waterfall
