Jiguan Cave is mainly composed of eight scenic spots: Yuzhutan, Caiyi Hall, Dieyan Palace, East Tianhe, Juxian Palace, Yaochi Palace, Zangxiu Pavilion and Shilinfang. Outside the cave, Jiguan Mountain, scenic landmark stone, Jade Belt Bridge and painted archway also form a beautiful landscape.
At the entrance of the cave, through an artificial tunnel with a length of 30 meters and a height of 2.5 meters, you will enter Yuzhutan, the first scenic spot. The highest point of the cave roof is 49 meters from the ground, which can accommodate more than 500 people at the same time. Stalagmites and stone pillars are densely distributed in the scenic area, with different heights and thicknesses. It is the most concentrated attraction of stalagmites and stone pillars in the cave, and it is named "Yuzhutan" because of its clear underground pool.

There are several stalagmites in front of the pool, which are like little fairies smiling and waving in line to greet tourists. They are called "All Immortals Welcome Guests", among which stalagmites are 0.9 meters high and 0.6 meters low. On the left wall of the road at a distance of 10 meter, there is the earliest hole with a diameter of 0.94 meter. Although it is small, it is the only way people used to go in and out. If you go further 15 meters, the landscape of the first scenic spot is the most concentrated. Here you can see the landscape "Golden Turtle Crossing the Fairy Weng" on the right side of the sightseeing trail. The giant scarab is composed of three naturally accumulated rocks. A stalagmite with a height of 1. 1 meter grows on the back of scarab, like a camel with a high bun. Just in front of this landscape, there is a stone niche on the cave wall of 18 meters. There is a stalagmite with a diameter of 0.3 meters and a height of 0.8 meters in the stone niche, much like an elf wearing a pointed hat. There is also a stone shield on the left side of Fairy, with a diameter of 0.4m and a height of 0.94m.. Its shield is folded and folded, like a short-sleeved shirt fluttering in the wind, blending with the scenery. Located at the lower right of the "fairy clothes hanging", there is a landscape of "snow sheep separating hoofs", which is a wall-flow stone shaped like pleasant goat jumping.

There is also a triangular wall flow stone on the cave wall 22 meters in front of the "Golden Turtle Crossing the Fairy Weng", and stalagmites ranging in height from 0.4 to 0.5 meters are arranged from top to bottom, as if five Buddha statues were sitting on the mountain, named "Five Buddhas Painting the Mountain". On the right side of "Golden Turtle Crossing Fairy Weng" 17 meters, there is a stalagmite like an alert German shepherd with upright ears. There is a natural vent with a diameter of 0.8 meters on the ceiling just above the left, which rises to the top of the mountain for 38 meters, like a bright moon hanging from the ceiling. The landscape is collectively called "gutter guarding the moon". This is the only natural vent in the cave.
Cai Yi Temple in the second scenic spot is the earliest cave found at present. About 600 million years ago. It has a canyon-like open terrain, with stalactites hanging from the ceiling and stalagmites scattered on the ground, hence its name.
Standing in the center of the tourist trail of the second scenic spot overlooking the valley of Caiyiting, there is a stalagmite with a diameter of 0.45 meters and a height of 0.7 meters, like a good-natured old birthday star, and the rock on its left side is like a crocodile with a mouth open and a tail up, as if listening to the earnest teachings of the old birthday star and realizing something. On the hillside 5 meters to the left, a group of stalagmites struggled to pull a mountain peak like tigers, which added luster and treasure to Cai Yi Temple and was named "White Tiger Pulling Jade Peak". There are two stalactites on the upper right wall of "Crocodile Birthday", which is particularly eye-catching. One of them, like a fishtail Baka at the mouth of the cave, is called "yue longmen the Carp", which is lifelike. The other is like a hippopotamus sticking its head out to enjoy the beauty of the world, staring with its mouth wide open and its expression amazing. It is called "Hippo Peep". Browse the beautiful scenery to the corner of the trail, there are dolphins jumping out of the water on the left side of the road, and the red ball overhead shows off its elegance for the guests, named "Dolphin Playing Beads", which is vivid.
From the second scenic spot to the third scenic spot, the drop is nearly 30 meters, and you have to go through a 75-meter-long step road. Along the way, you can see two stalagmites on the left side of the road, one of which is 1 m in diameter and 2.73 m in height. It is dubbed "Long March 1 rocket" and is about to ignite. Another stalagmite, with a diameter of 0.88m and a height of 2. 1 m, is like an old man wearing a Albert Venn Dicey hat and a cloak and braving the heavy snow, which reminds people of the poetic realm of "barking dogs in Chai Men, returning people on a snowy night". On the cave wall above this landscape painting, there is also a stone covered with milk, like a face in a drama, with distinct eyebrows and eyes, as if it had been carefully outlined by a makeup artist.
The third scenic spot, Butterfly Rock Palace, named after the rows of stone curtains at the top of the cave, is one of the most wonderful halls in the cave. A large area of stalactites is hung on the ceiling of the cave, which is gorgeous and elegant, just like the curtain of the stage. The stalagmites on the ground are even more patchy, with different postures, as if a good play is being staged on a luxurious stage, which is commendable and hilarious.
Entering the third scenic spot, the first thing you see is the landscape "Luohan", which is a stalagmite with a height of 4 meters, named after three small dome stalagmites arranged at the top like three fat arhats. If you go around and enjoy it in the future, you will find that stalagmites are inclined along the slope, which seems to be comparable to the leaning tower of Pisa. The scenery changes greatly, and viewing in different positions will give people unexpected effects. This landscape is also a landmark landscape for publicity in the scenic spot. Along the sightseeing trail to the observation deck, there is a unique stalagmite with a thick bottom and a thin top. The lower section is 1.3 m in diameter and 2 m in height, and the upper section is 0.54 m in diameter and 1. 1 m in height. Because the upper section looks like a woman with long hair shawl, it seems that she is expecting her relatives to return, so she is named "Wang Mi Stone". On the cave wall at the left side of Wang Mi-shi13m, there is "Lohan Drunk", which is a white wall stone about 4m high, like a drunken Lohan with a big belly, bare chest, disheveled clothes and a panicked head. The funny shape makes people laugh. On the right side of "Wang Mi Stone" is a sharp stalagmite "General Stone", with a diameter of 0.7m and a height of1.87m.. He was a general in the ancient battlefield, wearing a shirt and holding a sword. He was distinguished and mighty.
From the third scenic spot to the fourth scenic spot, you have to go through a mud hole with a diameter of less than 1 m and a depth of 5 meters, so it is extremely inconvenient to move up and down with a rope. After artificial reinforcement and repair, a spiral channel-Jasper snail was formed.
Passing the Jasper Snail is the fourth scenic spot, the cave and the sky. Endless underground rivers rush out from the cracks in the stone. I don't know where the source is. The underwater sound shocks people's eardrums, hence the name of the scenic spot. The daily flow of this river reaches 600 tons. According to the sampling test by Henan Institute of Geology, river water is rich in more than 20 kinds of trace elements beneficial to human body, such as iron, potassium, calcium, zinc and magnesium, and it is a kind of high-quality mineral water. Climbing up the stairs from the first section of the iron ladder, you can see that the cave wall on the left side is covered with snowflake-like stone flowers, which are white, translucent and crystal clear, and are called snowflake stones. On the right side of the road 2 meters away from snowflake stone is a horizontal pool with an area of about 3 square meters. It is not affected by drought and flood all the year round, and the water level is always moderate, hence the name. This is one of the wonders in the cave.
Climbing the second iron ladder, you can see that the cave wall is dotted with fluorescent grape-shaped stone flowers, which are colorful, strung or scattered into pieces, which are extremely precious. Adjacent to Stone Grape is a stone pillar with a diameter of 0.05m and a height of 3. 1m, which is even in thickness and upright. Known as the "Dinghai Shenzhen", it is also the thinnest stone pillar in the cave and belongs to the key protected landscape. And 3 meters away from the stone grape, the cave wall is covered with a layer of branched stone flowers, like corals in the sea, shining. These are coral stones.
The fifth scenic spot, with vast space, magnificent momentum, rich and colorful landscapes, is bizarre, among which stalagmites have different shapes, such as gathering immortals, hence the name "Juxian Palace".
The ground of Juxian Palace is 28 meters away from the ceiling of the cave. The first thing you see when you enter the palace is a huge mountain-shaped deposit-Amber Ridge, which is 8 meters high and 60 meters long. On the whole cave wall perpendicular to the rightmost end, there is a wall-flow stone with a width of 23 meters and a height of 19 meters, which is like a waterfall and magnificent. This is the largest and most complete stone waterfall found in the cave. A stone niche is formed at the junction of the stone waterfall and the ceiling of the cave. There is a "fairy bed" in the niche. The bed stall and bed are distinct, and the size is similar to the real thing, which is very wonderful. From right to left, there are many landscapes in Hupo Ridge, such as "Learning from the Western Heaven", "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", "Baota shan" and "Mushroom Stone". Among them, the landscape paintings of the characters are lifelike: Tang Priest wears the Bilu with a serene face, and Wukong starts to sweat before getting on the horse, each with a different look, and Zhang is riding a donkey upside down.
The most striking thing is the stone pillar standing in the center of Amber Ridge, with a diameter of13m and a height of 28m. It is magnificent and indomitable, and the seepage at the top of the cave slowly flows down along the stone pillars, making the stone pillars particularly crystal clear, which is known as "the jade pillar is the sky". On the left side of this scene, there is a white stalagmite with a diameter of 0.9 meters and a height of 1.7 meters. Shaped like a birthday girl holding a peach, she is amiable and smiling, hence the name "the birthday girl holding a peach". There is a "birthday girl's wife" 2 meters to the left of "birthday girl"! Hug his grandson and greet guests from all over the world with a smile. Walking in the fifth scenic spot, the stone flowers on the cave wall are clustered into pieces, just like blooming chrysanthemums, competing for each other. The largest chrysanthemum stone is 0.3 meters in diameter, with huge flowers and strange shapes, and is known as the "king of cockscomb flowers".
The sixth scenic spot, Yaochi Palace, turns around and has a hole in the sky. There are not only many rare and rare landscapes in the palace, which are of great scientific research value, but also many landscapes are said to be "moving three scenes"
The entrance to the "Nantianmen" in Yaochi Palace is extremely narrow and dangerous, with a smooth stalagmite on each side. If illuminated with light, it will be bright and dazzling, hence the name transparent stone. "Yaochi Palace" is named after the crystal clear natural pool water at the mouth of "Nantianmen". Nine thick stalagmites grow in the water, just like a finely carved "Queen Mother's Throne", with a diameter of 1.6 m and a height of 3. 1 m. 1.5 meters before this scene, there is a stalagmite lying across, like a sea lion playing in the water; On the left front of the cave wall, there is a drop of water on a thick stalagmite, as if a big fat carp is opening its mouth to receive water. Carp's mouth, head, body, especially fish scales are clearly visible. What's even more amazing is that the water oozing from the cave wall just falls into carp's open mouth like a silver line. Next to this beautiful scene is a huge sediment covering an area of 67 square meters-Bai Yushan. Bai Yushan, carved like white jade, is hollow and smooth, and there is a "Tiangong Ice Lantern" with a diameter of 0.53 m and a length of 0.6 1 m between it and the landscape "Carp playing in the water", which is like hanging ice in severe winter and a palace lamp with clear lines and sharp edges. As we all know, there are 200 transparent hollow goose tubes growing vertically on the roof of the cave, the longest of which is 0.7 meters. Corresponding to the landscape "carp splashing in the water" is a standing stone shield, with a height of 1.5 m and a shield plate diameter of 0.7 m. Because of its unique origin and huge and rare shape, it has the reputation of "the first shield in Asia"
Further on, you can see the "seven-story pagoda", the treasure of the town cave, which is a stalagmite with a diameter of 0.3 meters and a height of 0.8 meters. Its modeling is realistic, in line with the ancient Chinese tower building style, neat and standardized. Looking up at the top of the cave, you can see a stone shield hanging on the cave wall. The shielding plate is horizontal with a diameter of 2.8 meters. In addition, there is a curtain-like shield pendant around the shield board, which even dwarfs the emperor's umbrella, which is rare in China.
The next scenic spot can be the photography platform of the sixth scenic spot. Along the way, you will see stalagmites, such as monkeys, dogs or pigeons, scattered on the roadside, which is very interesting. Stalagmites, in particular, are called stumbling blocks in the middle of the road, and it is said that they can be steadily and steadily promoted step by step. On the right side of the stumbling block, there are flaky stalactites connected to the ground, forming a stone harp with an overall width of 3.2 meters and a height of 2 meters. The arrangement is neat and fine, and a gentle tap on the stone can make a pleasant sound. The sound of the piano is crisp and the reverberation is around the beam. Standing on the photographic platform, the most striking landscape is a huge stone pillar. It has been confirmed that the stone pillar was formed about 5 million years ago, and the body of the pillar naturally formed a beautiful relief pattern, like a golden dragon hanging upside down, and the faucet, dragon body, dragon tail and dragon claw were clearly identifiable. It was named "Panlong Yuzhu". Because of its majestic height, long formation time and lifelike dragon pattern, it is called "the first pillar of China" by authoritative people.
The gap between the sixth scenic spot and the seventh scenic spot is 32 meters, which can only be reached by climbing an 80-meter-long natural tunnel. A large number of calcite crystal flowers, such as snowflakes, chrysanthemums and corals, grow on the tunnel wall, presenting a huge crystal family collection from small to large, which is extremely precious. "Stone Peony" is the largest stone flower, which is a wonder. Its diameter is 0. 14m, and it is pure and bright with beautiful rural scenery. You can enjoy it from the photography platform in the sixth scenic spot to the cave wall on the left side of the 33-step road. On the left front wall of Bai Mudan, there is a small stone shield with a diameter of 0.16m and a height of 0.14m, which is like a small embroidered disc and the smallest stone shield in the cave.
The seventh Jingzang Xiuge is a scenic spot with a small viewing area in the cave. Although the area is small, it is small and exquisite and the landscape is dazzling. The scenic spot is divided into upper and lower floors, and there is a hole with a diameter of 1.6 meters at the top of the cave. Looking from the cave, I saw stalagmites and flowers in the cave, and the scenery was charming. The stalactites hanging around the cave are more like curtains, so the development has not been completed and the whole landscape cannot be appreciated, so it is called "Zangxiuge". Among the stalactites hanging in the hole, there is a stalactite corresponding to the stalagmites protruding from the ground, with a difference of only 1cm. According to the calculation of geological experts, it takes 40~70 years to grow up and down at the same time according to the normal drip amount, so the landscape is dubbed "a kiss in a thousand years".
Another scene here is called "Lovers Stone", which consists of two tiny stalagmites connected together for a long time, as if a couple in love were snuggling up to each other, 2.5 meters in front of the same side of "1000 Kisses". On the right front of the Lover Stone is a stalagmite, which is1.2m high. It has a circular tower body and a spire, which can clearly distinguish grades 65,438+065,438+0, and has the architectural style of an Islamic pagoda. There are many grotesque curling stones at the ceiling of the whole cave, which is amazing, because the water dripping from the ceiling naturally curls under the action of different forces during its formation. The stone flag growing on the cave wall opposite the "Lover Stone" is a kind of flaky stalactite, which is deposited by flowing water along the zigzag gap at the top of the cave, and looks like a flag fluttering in the wind.
Shilinfang, the eighth scenic spot, is the last scenic spot developed in the cave at present, which is characterized by scattered landscape and complicated causes. The most attractive thing for tourists in the scenic spot is that pieces of stalactites with different lengths are arranged neatly and hung on the cave wall, forming a stone curtain with a width of 8 meters and a length of 6.4 meters, such as the stone forest upside down, which can be equally divided with Lunan Stone Forest. There is a pool of clear water in front of the stone curtain. Because there is a lotus in the water, it is named "Lotus Pond". Lotus pond, round or oval, with flat surface and thin edge, is like a lotus leaf floating on the water. It belongs to the product of gravity water and non-gravity water or gravity water's various motion forms and mechanisms. At present, only four caves have been found in the Jiguan Cave in the north. The water surface of the lotus pond is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the scene at the top of the cave. It is clearly an underwater world, with coral groups and deep canyons. Looking back to the right, the flowing water in the cave wall forms a terrace-like deposit on the ground, named "Sixty Dam". There are two adjacent stone shields on the cave wall on the same side as the stone curtain. A shield plate with a diameter of 0.5 1 m is facing the observation deck, and the other shield plate with a diameter of 0.77 m is in the opposite direction, forming a strange scene of yin and yang alternating, which is called "yin and yang shield" by geological circles and is rare in the world. Finally, located on the right side of the stone curtain, a 4.8-meter-long mixed sediment looks like a turtle, and the direction of travel is facing the exit, hence the name "Silver Turtle Leading the Way".
Say goodbye to Shilinfang, the eighth scenic spot, and go out through the artificial tunnel with a height of120m and a height of 2.5m..
