Journey to Xiangxi-Huanglong cave

In Wulingyuan, there were constant wind and rain for days. After staying there, I arrived at Huanglong Cave that day. Huanglong Cave is located in Suoxiyu Hekou Village, east of Suoxi Valley in Wulingyuan Scenic Area, Zhangjiajie. Huanglong Cave is also known as Huang Longquan. It is said that there was a hundred days of drought during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The famous mage He Junru led his disciples into the cave to pray for rain, and all of them were killed. Before he died, He left a sentence: "Die and die, don't beat Huang Longquan." From then on, no one cared about Huanglong Cave. At the beginning of 1983, local villager Mao Jinchu organized nine militiamen and went through thousands of hardships before discovering this world's wonder of the cave.

It is divided into two layers of dry cave and two layers of water cave. There are holes in the cave, and there are rivers in the cave. The calcium stones in the cave are colorful and colorful.

Huanglong Cave contains almost all the contents of the cave. It is a cave with complete types and extremely unique shapes that are rare in our country and the world.

In the Dragon Palace, there is a tall and thin stalagmite. This is the "Dinghai Divine Needle" and is the landmark attraction of Huanglong Cave. It has a peculiar shape. It is 19.2 meters high, thick at both ends, thin in the middle, and only 10 centimeters in diameter at the thinnest part. The "Dinghai Divine Needle" grows on collapsed slopes and is the tallest stalagmite in Huanglong Cave. Speleologists estimate that it will take at least nearly 200,000 years to grow to its present height. The upper end of the "Dinghai Godly Needle" is still 6 meters away from the roof of the cave, and there is still dripping water at the top. It is still between growth and development. It is estimated that it will take 60,000 years to be "upright". Huanglong Cave purchased 100 million yuan insurance for this "sea-fixing needle". Huanglong Cave is the most worthwhile natural cave we have ever seen.
