Jiudongtian Scenic Spot
Jiudongtian Scenic Spot
4.3/5 · 517 review
Highlights:

Jiudongtian is located on the Liuzhong River at the junction of Dafang and Nayong counties. It is a national key scenic spot with a total length of about 6 kilometers and is divided into two sections. The underground river in the cave expands to form many lakes in the cave, and the water flow is stable.

"Yidongtian" is a dry cave, which is spacious inside and is the entrance hall. It covers an area of ​​more than 3,000 square meters and has an average height of 80 meters. The stalactites on the cave walls and ceilings are bizarre and magnificent.

The "Second Cavern" is now used as a power generation cavern, which uses gates to control the water flow from a height of 11 meters to generate electricity. It is a rare natural cave power station without a plant in China, and is extremely economical.

The "Three Caves" are tall, wide, winding and quiet. The stone wall on the left bank is extremely smooth, as if it was cut by a knife or an axe, and colorful stalactites are hanging on the wall on the right bank.

"Four Caves" is a natural Attraction composed of multiple caves. The stalactites in the caves are like towers or palaces, crystal clear and lifelike.

"Wudongtian" is a dark lake in the shape of a gourd, which is naturally formed by contracting at the top and expanding at the bottom.

The "Six Caves" are connected natural bridge windows, the top of which is about 100 meters above the horizontal plane and is very dangerous.

"Qidongtian" is a large dry cave with thousands of windows and holes, which are interconnected and can accommodate thousands of people.

The entrance of the "Eight Caves" is only two or three meters wide, but tens of meters high, like a narrow alley in a tall building. The sunlight refracts into it, and the light and color of the water surface change endlessly.

The caves in the "Nine Caves" are divided into three layers. The strange-shaped water caves and dark lakes in the lower layer are connected to the Eight Caves, and are connected in all directions. In the middle layer, there is a huge natural bridge 90 meters long and 120 meters wide, which is shaped like a "gate". Looking down at the water cave from the square under the bridge, it is mysterious. Looking up, the sky is drawn as two huge arcs, like the magpie bridge when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet. The upper layer is a cave hall parallel to the natural bridge arch, with an area of ​​about tens of thousands of square meters. Countless cave entrances are connected to each other, forming a three-dimensional maze, which is rare in the world.
