Let's go! Take you to see the starry sky in the cave

Detailed guide included. Let's go! Take you to see the starry sky in the cave. 🗺Detailed guide included Activity type: Cave exploration + water cave + paddleboarding + photography + coffee ▍Intensity level: ★★☆☆☆ ▍Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆ ▍Scenery index: ★★★★★ 💰💰Ticket price: 60 (collected by local villagers, for sanitation maintenance fees) 🔦🔦Essential equipment: Caving helmet, headlamp, gloves, rope (there is one in use on-site, but it's not necessary to bring your own), paddleboard, underwater light, waterproof phone bag, emergency medical kit, well-fitting wetsuit (it must be snug to keep warm), water, dry food for a simple meal, and if possible, some fruit and coffee, waterproof speaker If it's your first time in Guizhou, you must experience the magic of the karst landscape. If it's your first time caving, then I suggest you start with Shilong Cave! 🗺🗺Address: Shilong Cave, located in Maige Township, Qingzhen City, Guiyang, about 60 kilometers from Guiyang city center, is one of the most representative natural karst water caves of the Guizhou Bian Shiba landscape, which is the stepped calcification pools, and also the 'ceiling' of Guizhou's karst cave landscapes. Named for the lifelike 'giant dragon' pattern on the stone wall of the cave's skylight, entering the cave is like entering the belly of a dragon, with the dragon's fangs and whiskers faintly visible. The underwater light illuminates the surface of the water, revealing a stunning underground pool before your eyes. My post-visit thoughts: The first time I met Shilong Cave was in my dream, in a primeval forest, passing through narrow stone walls, by soft mud hot spring pools, and then diving in... Until I actually came here, the scene was completely different. A small pool of water, we paddled in, and inside was another world. The cave hall is very tall and long. As we paddled further into the darkness, I saw the scene of Zhang Qiling 'forking' a corpse turtle in the underground river with two fingers. The moment the underwater light sank into the dark river and lit up, my cultural level only allowed me to exclaim 'Wow!' at the beauty before me. It was as if I saw the deep sea not belonging to Guizhou, Zhang Wansen's blue tears, and the existence of an underground Milky Way... ⚠️⚠️Attention: 1. Do not go during high water or rainy season 2. Try not to bring self-heating pots or instant noodles unless you can take all the trash out, including the soup 3. Remember to bring a life-saving thermal blanket, disposable, very light and compact 4. Cave exploration time, from entering to exiting, is recommended to be controlled within 5 hours 5. A maximum of 2 people on a paddleboard, 3 people can easily flip it 6. Bring enough lighting 7. Find a reliable coach 8. Be sure to buy insurance in advance, just in case 9. There are climbing points, remember to bring gloves
