On November 12, time passed quickly, and unknowingly it was already the eighth day of the travel itinerary. Today's tourist attractions are Shilin and Jiuxiang Scenic Area near Kunming. Because it is far away from the city, you can only choose to take a one-day tour with a group. The Shilin Scenic Area is the only karst (karst cave) landform in the world located in the subtropical plateau area. It is located in Shilin Yi Autonomous County, Kunming City, Yunnan Province. The karst geological and geomorphic wonders in the scenic area have a vast distribution range, magnificent momentum, diverse types, and rich scenery. There are magnificent peak forests, lakes, waterfalls, and karst caves. The wonders created by heaven are beautiful. We have visited Shilin Lake, Big Stone Forest, Jianfeng Pool, Wanfeng Pavilion, Small Stone Forest, Tiaoyueping, Ashima and other scenic spots. Rocks have different shapes and require you to give full play to your imagination and observation. Some are like elephants, and some are like cats and mice chatting affectionately. Especially Ashima, it's like two people hugging for a long time. Maybe that was Ashima and Ahege telling their pain of lovesickness. The stone forests, lakes, and green grasslands in the scenic area form oil paintings, embellishing the beauty of nature. This is the most beautiful scenery that nature gives to mankind.

The next scenic spot is the underground karst cave in Jiuxiang. Jiuxiang is known as the "Dixia Cave Museum" and is located in Yiliang County near Kunming. In Yunnan, there is a saying that "Look at the stone forest on the ground, and look at the Jiuxiang underground" and "If you don't travel in Jiuxiang, you will come to Yunnan in vain", which shows the status of Jiuxiang. Jiuxiang and Shilin belong to three-dimensional karst landscapes. The beauty of the stone forest lies in the peak forest, while the beauty of Jiuxiang lies in the karst cave. Tourists have to take the elevator to get down to the underground cave. My first impression of the cave was that it was large and deep. Take the elevator and pass through the underground corridor to enter the cave. The Xiongsi Hall in the cave is known as the underground square. With a total area of 15000 square meters, the hall is the largest underground square hall in the world, which 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 nest shaped plates embedded in the plate. The whirlpool makes the entire top plate seamless. The impression it gives you is big and open. There was actually a waterfall in the cave. Waterfalls fly for male and female. It is an underground double waterfall. 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. There is also a celestial wonder called Kanda. Kanda is a large-scale border stone lake group, covering an area of more than 100 square meters and reaching a depth of more than 10 meters. It is scattered like terraces on a hillside. The landscape is magnificent and magnificent, making it a rare sight in the world. It takes two to three hours to visit such a large cave. Finally, we have to make a cableway and a cable car. This is the largest cave I have seen in years. It's spectacular.

I visited two high-quality attractions in one day, which was worth it. The beautiful scenery on the ground and underground is all recorded in my memory. I will return to downtown Kunming at 5 p.m. For dinner, I went to eat Yunnan food. I felt that the best food was still steaming pot chicken. Delicious, fresh soup, crispy meat. Makes me have endless memories.
