The petrified stones in Danzhou Shihua Water Cave are very beautiful

The whole scenic area is not very big. At the entrance of the park, there are stone sculptures of the eight immortals in the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. Our tour route is to go directly to the water cave of Xinxinnian to visit. In the cave, there are stalactites, stalagmites, curly stones, single crystal calcite flowers and other landscapes of great ornamental and scientific value. Among them, the curly stone is called "the best stone in the country" by experts. There are guides explaining the whole process in the cave. The cave is relatively natural, with few artificial traces, exhaust and colorful lights. You can also see some small bats hanging upside down on the top of the cave. The most amazing part is the boat tour of the water cave at the end. There are 10 people in a boat. During the tour, you can see countless "fruit bats" hanging upside down in the high cave. There is a little "bat" smell. If you mind the smell, it is recommended to wear a mask. If you are lucky, you can catch a "bat" During the Ming and Qing dynasties, homophonic meanings were popular, and bats were named after their "bat" and "bat". "Fu" is a homonym for "Fu", so it has been associated with happiness. It is widely believed among the people that Zhang Guolao, one of the Eight Immortals, was transformed from a white bat spirit at the beginning of chaos. It is also said that Zhong Kui was transformed from a bat, or that a field mouse drank the water from the Naihe Bridge, grew wings, and turned into a bat, becoming Zhong Kui's pioneer in catching ghosts... These legends have made the image of the bat widely popular. In addition to the dragon as the main character, the patterns on the dragon robes of the Qing Dynasty emperors also include various supporting characters, such as the "Twelve Chapters", cloud patterns, bat patterns, etc. The red bat with cloud pattern symbolizes "great fortune and great luck". People in the Tang Dynasty loved bats. Poets such as Han Yu, Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen all wrote poems about bats. Bai Juyi called bats "immortals among mice." In ancient auspicious patterns, two bats together represent "blessing upon blessing", and five bats together represent "five blessings (blessing, fortune, The pattern of bats and copper coins together means "blessings are in sight", and the pattern of a boy catching bats and putting them into a vase means "peace and blessings come from heaven". This round of tour really gave me a lot of "bat" culture! After taking a boat out of the water cave, you will reach the Stone Forest Scenic Area. The area is very small, but the stones are beautiful. As for the activities for children, I can only say that it depends on what the children like to play. In short, I personally feel that if you have a trip along the way, you can still consider planning it.
