Introduction:

Ruijing Shihua Cave is located in Pucun Village, Shirui Township, Changhua District, Lin 'an City, Zhejiang Province. It is a natural cave with high karst landscape density and complete varieties. The constant temperature in the cave is 18 degrees all the year round, and the air is very fresh, which is a blessed place to escape the heat and enjoy the cool in summer.

You have to walk 280 meters to reach the top of the mountain before entering the cave, but the mountain roads are all among the trees, and you can still feel the coolness of the mountain breeze without the sun in summer. Then go forward, through a 10,000-mu hickory forest, and you can get to the mouth of the cave. The whole process of entering the cave needs a guide to explain, and the whole tour time exceeds 1 hour. You can take photos at the door before entering the cave, because the exit is another place.

Regent Shihua Cave is divided into five caves. Follow the tour guide in order, and you will pass the Regent Sightseeing Ladder, the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, the Petrochemical World and other scenic spots. Among them, the 80-meter-long Regent Sightseeing Ladder is a must of Regent Shihua Cave and the only cave in China that can only enter the cave through a ladder. From top to bottom, it is very spectacular and breathtaking. The ladder is equipped with steps and can go up and down freely. It is said that there will be elevators in the ladder in the future. In addition, it is also the most famous stone flower in the cave, with different shapes, some like autumn chrysanthemums in full bloom, some like flowers in spring, some look like flowers in bloom, and some look like stars in the distance. There are more than 3,000 stone flowers in full bloom in the second cave hall alone, which is amazing.

The exit hole is at the foot of the mountain, and there is a Regency Science Exhibition Hall next to it. If you have time, it's worth visiting. In the parking lot next to the cave entrance, there is Regent mountain products City, which mainly sells local specialties, such as pecans, tea, dried bamboo shoots and various dried vegetables. Just choose some and take them back.

In addition, there are several farmhouse restaurants in the scenic spot, such as the Regent Hotel, where you can eat. There are three famous stones-pheasant, tremella and grouper, all of which are produced in the mountains, as well as fresh vegetables produced by farmers and wild tea collected in the mountains. It tastes good.
