Travel guide to Shannan Zayangzong Cave, a famous tourist attraction in Shannan, Tibet, China, suitable for checking in and taking photos📸

#Mainland Travel Shannan Zhayangzong Cave is one of the famous tourist attractions in Shannan, Tibet, China. Thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing every day. This time I will introduce a travel guide to the Zhayangzong Cave in Shannan. Game guide The scenic spot does not require admission tickets, only a sanitation fee of 2 yuan per person. It closes at 4:30 pm, so it is recommended to plan your time well. It takes one or two hours of hiking from the entrance to reach the Zhayangzong Cave at an altitude of 4,500 meters. The entrance of the cave is halfway up the mountain. You need to walk along the hiking trail from the scenic spot parking lot. The hiking trail is gentle and has guardrails. The elderly and children can also go there. The cave entrance has a wide view and you can see the entire canyon from a distance. To enter the cave, you need to climb a yak staircase with an angle of nearly 90 degrees to enter the cave. The staircase looks quite steep from below, but it is not scary at all when you look down after climbing up. It is still some distance away from the cliff. After climbing up the staircase, you start to drill the hole. There is an even narrower cave in the narrow cave. The entrance is only about 20 centimeters. Please be careful when the entrance is only 20 centimeters. The cave is narrow and dark, so you need to bring a headlamp (very necessary, you can bring your own or buy one at the entrance of the scenic area or the cave. The price at the entrance is about 15 yuan). Mobile phone flashlights and flashlights are inconvenient because you need to use your hands and feet to climb into the cave. There are ropes to guide you throughout the climb, so be careful not to hit your head while climbing. The cave is narrow and breathing may not be as comfortable as outside the cave. It is a forbidden area for people with altitude sickness. I estimate that the entire cave is only a few dozen meters long, but it was very slow to walk with stops and starts. It took me more than two hours to walk a distance of a few dozen meters. The cave was also stuffy. Fortunately, I went there in winter.
