On the first day of a night tour in the city, I was still a little tired from eating and shopping. When I came back, I washed and slept. I planned tomorrow's itinerary before going to bed-a one-day trip to Shilin Jiuxiang Scenic Area. Get up at 8 o'clock the next day, clean up as quickly as possible, and have breakfast. Because we had an appointment with the driver to pick us up at 8:30 at the hotel lobby door, we couldn't let the driver wait too long, so we still got on the bus on time. The breakfast at Howard Johnson City of Flowers Hotel is still very good, with a wide variety of varieties, so start if you have a full meal. Get in the car and set out. Today's weather is very good. The master driver said it would take about an hour and a half, so he started chatting with the master driver: @#¥ %(......(I forgot everything I chatted about along the way). By the way, today is a one-day customized chartered car trip. It was booked on Ctrip, door-to-door pick-up and seamless connection, which is convenient and worry-free. For people like me who don't want to trouble, it's the most suitable.

It'll be here soon. Check-in!

About 300 million years ago, the Shilin Scenic Area was a vast ocean. After a long period of geological evolution, it finally formed extremely precious geological relics, covering many karst landforms on the earth.

The Great Stone Forest is composed of dense stone peaks, like a gravel basin. The stone forest here stands upright and obtrusive, with smooth lines and a light bluish-gray color. The tallest independent rock pillar is more than 40 meters high. Among them are typical attractions such as "Lotus Peak","Jianfeng Pool","Critical Crisis","Extreme Narrow Access to People","Elephant Distance Stone Platform","Orchid Deep Valley", and "Phoenix Combs Wings". The most famous ones are the "Stone Forest Scenic Area" where Longyun inscribed the inscription "Stone Forest", and the "Wangfeng Pavilion" is the best place to appreciate the "Forest Sea"

In the small stone forest (Ashima Scenic Area), the wide and solid stone walls are like screens, dividing the small stone forest (Ashima Scenic Area) into several gardens.

After 2 hours of sightseeing, I was basically done watching it and it was time to eat. When we left the scenic area, we went to our driver, who took us to eat delicious food. In my impression, the rice around the scenic spot is expensive and not delicious. We successfully found the driver and went to Jiuxiang Scenic Area in the afternoon, which happened to be heading towards Yiliang County. Speaking of Yiliang County, the driver firmly said that we should go to eat roast duck, well, let's go.

Speaking of which, this restaurant is really hard to find. Yanglaojiu Roast Duck Restaurant! An old store known only to the locals. It doesn't look very high-end, but there are quite a lot of people! I heard that it is a must-choice restaurant for local families to have dinner and entertain guests. It is an affordable and delicious restaurant. After looking for a place for a long time, someone finally finished eating and sat down quickly. I ordered 4 dishes and 1 soup. The roast duck first.

Fresh out of the oven, delicious. The price is also 48 yuan cheaper. Because I ate so happily, I forgot to take other dishes...

After eating, I took a nap in the car and set out for Jiuxiang.

Jiuxiang Scenic Area, developed in the Sinian Period 600 million years ago, has hundreds of large and small caves. It is the largest cave community system in the country with the largest scale, the largest number, and the most peculiar cave landscape. It is praised by experts as the "Cave Museum". There are ancient marine microbial fossils known as "prehistoric wonders"-stromatolites, inverted stone teeth, biological karst (also known as biological reef-making wonders), side stone lakes, underground square halls, dark canyons, fish back stones, curling stones, vortex caves and other hydrogeological wonders, as well as typical sections and attractions such as three-dimensional layered cave bodies and multi-layered cave landscapes. Some are rare scenes in China, and some are examples that have never been improved in world geology textbooks, so they have been praised by famous scholars at home and abroad.

The saying goes: Stone forest on the ground, nine villages underground. Yeah, with these lights, it's pretty.

Yincui Gorge-quiet and charming. The gorge is 600 meters long and can be boated for sightseeing. The ancient cliffs on both sides are green, the shadows are swaying, and the clear water is quiet and charming. The landscape like poetry in painting makes people linger. Many poets and writers left many beautiful and moving poems in Yincui Gorge, also known as the Valley of Lovers.

Horrifying Gorge-thrilling. The gorge is 700 meters long and is the most spectacular underground grand canyon found in China. The two sides of the gorge are cut like knives and axes. The bottom of the gorge is nearly 100 meters from the top of the cave. The narrowest part of the gorge is only three or four meters wide. Tourists walk through it all feel thrilling.

Lion Hall-underground square. The Lion Hall has a total area of 15000 square meters and is the largest underground square hall in the world. It can accommodate tens of thousands of people to have a party here. What's more amazing is that the top of the entire hall is composed of a complete plate with several dimples embedded in the plate. The whirlpool makes the entire top plate seamless.

Goddess Palace-exquisitely and transparent. It is a typical representative of karst underground scenery. The stalactites are exquisitely carved, leaning against or leaning against, sitting or lying, like a group of fairies singing and dancing here, gathering in the palace to compete for wonders, giving people a feeling of being in a fairyland.

Male and female waterfalls-earth-shattering. They are underground double waterfalls. The two waterfalls run up and down from cliffs more than 30 meters high. The pool is more than 10 meters deep. The waterfalls fall straight down and are deafening. The maximum flow rate of the waterfalls is 320 cubic meters per second. The majestic and majestic momentum is earth-shaking, like two romantic couples inseparable. It is the only spectacle in the caves in China.

Kanda-a wonder created by heaven. Kanda is a large-scale border stone lake group, with an area of more than 100 square meters and a depth of more than 10 meters. It is scattered and has a magnificent landscape. It is a rare spectacle in the world and is praised by international cave experts as the world's largest.

Linyin Village-rich style. In the underground world as deep as 100 meters, there are unique Yi-style landscapes, dense branches of forests, Tusi castles, etc., reflecting the honest national customs characteristics of the ancient Yi ancestors.

Bat Cave-Underground stone forest. The Bat Cave is characterized by the stalactites hanging upside down, like the stone forest being long. These stalactites also have a distinctive feature, which is that the stone forest is tilted greatly and irregularly. When carefully examined, it is caused by different air flows. Therefore, it adds another magical scenery of wind-blown stone bends in Jiuxiang.

Collected several major attractions in Jiuxiang Cave. The pictures are not matched properly.

Walking until your feet are sore. Finally out of the hole. I miss the comfortable king bed in the hotel at this time...

As the driver drove fast and steadily, I returned to the hotel. Eat dinner in the hotel and rest first.

Today's trip is over!
