A Heavenly Abode - Zhashui Karst Cave National Geopark

Zhashui Karst Cave: It is a 2-hour drive from Xi'an to reach the Zhashui Karst Cave National Geopark. Zhashui Karst Cave is a national 4A-level scenic spot, with an admission ticket priced at 102 yuan. Visitors have the option to enter the karst cave via an elevator or by foot! The rafting is also fantastic. We chose to walk up the mountain, first heading towards the ancient trail. The staircase, made of stone steps and wooden steps, leads to the middle section where you'll encounter a glass skywalk. Continuing forward, you'll reach a glass bridge with a section covered with green mats, which is suitable for those who are afraid of heights. Upon reaching the ancient trail post, there are amusement facilities (aerial spaceship, zip line, etc.), and at 12:30 there is a performance, including an aerial bicycle and tightrope walking. For descending the mountain, you can choose the glass slide for 30 yuan per person (about 3-5 minutes), or after walking a distance, take the children for a small train ride down the mountain (about 8 minutes). The train ride features short segments from the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, which are quite interesting and enjoyable. The train goes directly to the foot of the mountain. Before climbing the mountain towards the cave entrance (about 15 minutes), it is relatively more tiring to climb the stairs due to the uneven heights and the slight slipperiness after the rain (remember to be safe). The scenery inside the cave is beautiful, with stalactites in various shapes and the lighting design adds a colorful and dazzling effect. PS: ⚠️ (Remember to bring clothes for children, as the temperature difference inside and outside the cave is significant, to prevent catching a cold). After exiting the cave, there is a slide that goes directly to the foot of the mountain, and tired friends can choose this option for 30 yuan per person. Zhashui Karst Cave is surrounded by lush mountains and clear waters, with pleasant scenery and fresh air, making it a very relaxing destination.
