✅ Must Experience: Witness the stalagmite wonder--Overlord's Helmet
The Overlord's Helmet is one of the 'Three Wonders' of Zhijin Cave.
It is also the only helmet-shaped stalagmite found in the world that looks so lifelike.
The Overlord's Helmet is 14 meters tall,
consisting of a cap-shaped stalagmite at the bottom,
and a slender rod-shaped stalagmite on top,
adorned with pearls and shimmering with silver light, resembling the helmet of the ancient King of Chu.
Under the reflection of the water in the pool in front,
it appears even more dreamlike and mysterious, adding to its mystique.
From a distance, it doesn't seem very large,
but as you get closer, you realize it's as tall as a 5-story building.
✅ Must Experience: Observe the treasure of the Earth--Silver Rain Tree
The Silver Rain Tree is one of the 'Three Wonders' of Zhijin Cave,
and is currently the most beautifully shaped tower-like stalagmite found in the world,
17 meters tall, resembling an exquisitely carved ivory pagoda,
covered in gold and silver, it is the 'face' of Zhijin Cave.
The Silver Rain Tree is pure white,
with patterns on its body as delicate as blooming flowers,
the stalactites on its base resemble colorful seashells,
and in combination with the surrounding stalactites and the blue light background,
it looks like a treasure from the Dragon Palace in the East Sea.
It took about 150,000 years for the Silver Rain Tree to form from the white jade plate to the top,
and its current shape is the result of tens of thousands of years of constant water dripping without any change and a constant water supply.
✅ Must Experience: View the giant karst mural
The Great Mural of Zhijin Cave is one of the 'Three Wonders' of Zhijin Cave.
A huge karst relief mural,
almost a hundred meters high and over two hundred meters long,
formed by numerous stone curtains, columns, mantles, and stalactites,
with extraordinary momentum and a myriad of scenes,
fully showcasing the 'grand' characteristic of Zhijin Cave,
and is also extremely rare in the world of caves.
✅ Must Experience: View the shield-shaped column--Upside-down Pipa
A spectacle in the Pipa Palace of Zhijin Cave,
it looks like a giant pipa hanging upside down in the cave, clearly distinguishable.
The Upside-down Pipa is a column formed by the coexistence and development of a 'vertical stone shield' and 'stalagmite',
and is currently the largest and most beautifully shaped shield-shaped column found in the world.
Very spectacular, the inside is too big, the stalactites formed in 100,000 or even 250,000 years are really a spectacle! Bomi enters the hole to the hole for about two hours, and needs to climb up and down inside, but the steps are reasonable and not too tired?
It is the largest cave, the distance is really long, but the line is relatively flat, it is not tired to walk, the cave feels that many water systems may be diverted or leaked, many places are dry, only bare stalactites, but the whole is still very beautiful, worth a visit.
Very worth visiting scenic spots. Very spectacular, magnificent, the first cave in the country is not a false name, all kinds of highlights continue to be presented. The cave is not cold, just wear thin sports clothes. Recommended to friends and colleagues

Sure enough, "Zhijin returns without looking at the hole, there is no hole outside Zhijin Cave", this experience is very satisfactory! The tour guide Xiao Huang is really hardworking, leading the team to explain the whole hole, unlike some tour guides who only let tourists enter the hole and wait for tourists to come out at the exit of the hole.
The first time I went to Zhijin Cave in Guizhou, I felt very spectacular, very good, very satisfied. It is a scenic spot that I can't forget after watching. It is recommended that tourists who like the underground natural landscape go to see the ghosts of nature. It is worth witnessing it firsthand. I will definitely not regret it. Of course, there are more steps to the Nantianmen in the cave, and the elderly over 70 years old should decide whether to enter the cave according to their physical state.
Guizhou "Zhijin Cave", the world geopark, the king of China's cave, the most beautiful cave in China. There is poetry cloud: "Huangshan returns without looking at the Yue, there is no cave outside Zhijin Cave". Zhijin Cave is ranked among the top of the world's caves regardless of scale, karst color and shape. Enter the cave, wet and a little cold, walk along the trail, from time to time, from the left and right can see the beauty of heaven. Amazingly, the flat Zhijin Cave is large in scale, with a variety of colors and remarkable features. The length of the hole is 12.1 kilometers, the relative height difference is more than 150 meters, the widest span has been surveyed is 175 meters, the general width and height is 60~100 meters, the total area is more than 700,000 square meters, the average height of the accumulation is about 40 meters, the highest is 70 meters, including the world's cave accumulation category of more than 40 accumulation forms. Magic Zhijin Cave, ghosts and axes! Sigh, nature is magical. Unforgettable, the feast of the sky falling.
Weijin Cave should thank the chicken that ran away. I heard that because the farmer found the chicken, weaving (j chicken) gold hole. Weaving gold hole was very high and wide, and it took two hours to get out of the hole. There are two points worthy of praise: First, the lights in the hole are not dazzling, there are not too many complicated colors, and her own scenery is excellent. The pictogram is alive and flexible, Guanyin sits on the lotus, the mother-in-law is affectionate, the reflection is like a fairy tale world, the hole is arced at most, smooth like a mountain tunnel, one in and one in, the view is wide and unpredictable. Second, the humanization is better. I have never seen so many public toilets in the cave. There are also beverage vending machines, rest chairs, and the road is as smooth as possible. When people arrive, the lights will automatically turn on, which is very convenient.
