Jiguana Cave, the first cave in the north, is a niche tourist destination!

【Attractions Guide】 Jiguana Cave is located in Luanchuan County, Luoyang, only 3 kilometers away from the county seat, on the mountainside at an altitude of 1,021 meters. Jiguana Cave is a limestone cave with a kost landform. To the south are Longgong Cave and Zhijin Cave in Guiyang, and to the north is Jiguana Cave in Luanchuan County, so it is known as the "No. 1 Cave in the North". Legend has it that Jiguana Mountain was formed by the incarnation of a rooster that was secretly searching for treasure and was suppressed by a sky eagle. Therefore, the outline of the mountain from a distance looks like a rooster crowing. Stalactites and stalagmites take 100 years to grow by 1 centimeter, and the longest ones here took 600 million years to form. 【Attractions Features】 The Jiguana Cave scenic area includes a peony garden, where 18,180 varieties of peonies are cultivated. During the May Day Golden Week every year, the peony garden is in full bloom. ‖Jigun Cave has another characteristic: the temperature is 18 degrees all year round, which makes it cool and humid in summer and warm in winter. I went there to see the red leaves in early November, and the scenic area happened to be free and the indoor temperature was just right, so I wore a thin coat. ‖There is a birch forest in the Jiguana Mountain scenic area, and maple trees are planted from the parking lot to the scenic area. The whole place is golden when taking photos in autumn. You can also choose rafting when going down the mountain in the scenic area. When you walk on the road and look up, you can see that the entire road is covered with glass roads. You can go up the mountain to see the scenery and go down the mountain to play. Note tips: You don't need to wear something too thick. If you wear it, the moisture inside will be heavy and you will sweat. There is no need to find an interpreter. There is a tour guide near each famous stalactite in the scenic area, who will explain the formation and story to everyone. ‖Famous stalagmites include [Fairy Overlooking the Distance], [Heavenly Dog Guarding the Moon], [Yicai Palace], [Diewei Palace], and [Shilinfang]. They are located in the deepest part of Jiguana Cave. The whole place is filled with small fireflies due to the lighting design, which is very beautiful for taking pictures. Detailed address: Jiguandong Scenic Area, Luoyang. Transportation Guide: 10 minutes drive from Luanchuan County. There are buses from Luoyang Passenger Transport Terminal to Luanchuan County. Opening hours: 8:00am to 5:00pm. Ticket price: Free before November 10th. Per capita consumption: After reaching the foot of the mountain, you need to walk to the entrance of Jiguana Cave on the mountain. You can take the electric cable car for ¥15 round trip. The distance is not very far, and you can climb up the mountain in 10 minutes.
