Trip Moments Recommendations
#Zhijin Cave Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Guizhou - Zhijin Cave
Visiting 织金洞 (Zhijin Cave) was an amazing experience!
I started early morning from Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou. I booked a car to take me to and pick me up from the caves as it’s about a 2 hour drive from Guiyang. This cost 800rmb. A taxi is slightly cheaper however, my taxi app (Didi) didn’t have any cars at the location.
The admission price to enter the caves was 120rmb (worth every penny). After buying your ticket you take a free shuttle bus to the cave entrance. There are many different attractions within the cave. Beautiful, natural caverns with an extensive array of grottos, rock shelters and speleothems. The cave is well lit with informative signs along the way. There are also designated places to stop for rests and toilet breaks. The walk through the cave was highly enjoyable but long. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes. I spent about 2 hours exploring under the ground.
Upon completing the cave walk there is a very scenic walk back to the shuttle buses. Here you can spend some time shopping small trinkets and having a meal.
I stayed in Yoyo Hotel in Guiyang. The staff were wonderful and helped me to book the car.

I did not really know what a Karst cave was until I started planning to come to Zhijin Cave, Research before you come so that you can truly appreciate the natural wonders you will see when you visit. It is so huge, pictures do not really reflect how spectacular this cave is, the city can be reached by car or train most easily. #happynewyear
#happynewyear
Famous for it's scenic areas and with good reason! , Zhijin Cave, Jiehe Gorge and Hongjia Ferry, make up this area that features one of the most famous and spectacular karst caves in China. Zhijin Cave is sometimes called the 'karst museum' because it is so special. Tourism is growing here, so come on weekdays for fewer crowds. #happynewyear
No deception, this is a must-see for the most beautiful cave in one's lifetime!
Reasons to visit:
National natural heritage, the most beautiful cave of all!
Experience the vitality of water dripping through stone over millions of years!
Transportation:
Express bus: Guiyang North Station–Zhijin Cave Scenic Tourism Area
The round trip takes about 3 and a half hours. Book bus tickets on Ctrip, the price is 123 RMB per person, and you will receive a text message the night before with a link to the boarding place. Watch the video navigation route to board the bus. The driver's number is attached!
Zhijin Cave ticket + sightseeing car:
Book tickets on Ctrip: The price is 124 RMB per person. If you're quick, it can be toured in 2 and a half hours. It takes 4 hours to complete the tour on holidays when it's crowded! Avoid carrying heavy items, as it can be quite tiring for the legs! Mobile phone photos are sufficient! If you must use a camera, I recommend the Sony a7m4 which should be carried by a male companion, while the ladies can just take care of collecting the photos! It really can be a bit heavy! If you're not passionate about photography, then there's no need for this requirement!
The recommended mode of transportation is the round-trip express bus, which is more convenient and faster than the high-speed train!
The meaning of travel is probably that, after feeling the vitality of nature, seeing this kind of vitality where water drips through stone, applying it to study and work life seems particularly profound!
The most beautiful Zhijin Cave
Zhijin Cave Scenic Area is located in Guanzhai Miao Nationality Township, Zhijin County, Bijie City, Guizhou Province, China, on the south bank of Liuchong River, one of the sources of the Wujiang River. The area is mainly characterized by karst topography, with a complete karst system that is multi-leveled, multi-system, multi-category, and multi-form, and it is also a world-class geological park.
Zhijin Cave is currently the cave with the highest density of cave halls, the highest density of stalactites, the richest types, and the most rare forms in the world.
The cave contains five halls with an area of over ten thousand square meters each, among which the largest 'Shiwan Dashan' cave hall covers an area of more than 70,000 square meters. Inside the cave, there are more than 40 types of karst deposits such as stalagmites, stone pillars, stone buds, stone mantles, stone flowers, and bell flags, some of which are over 100 meters high. The names given to these spectacular scenes are often related to local folklore and Buddhist stories.
Ranked first in China's "Top Ten Most Beautiful Karst Caves", the Zhijin Cave in Guizhou
One of China's most beautiful national parks
Guizhou's first world-class geopark
Selected by the Tourism Bureau as one of the top 40 tourist destinations in China
Rated by National Geographic as the most beautiful karst cave—firmly at the top of the list
……
These honors establish the significant position of Guizhou's Zhijin Cave in the field of natural karst cave tourism.
Before visiting Zhijin Cave, I had been to Fengdu's Snow Jade Cave and Wulong's Furong Cave. Although these two caves are magnificent and colorful in their own right, they do not compare to the grand scale, diverse forms, and numerous wonders of Zhijin Cave.
Zhijin Cave is a karst cave system that is complete in all aspects: category, form, stage, and level. It can be described with three words: big, strange, and complete. Contemporary writer Feng Mu once exclaimed after visiting Zhijin Cave, "There is no other cave under heaven like Zhijin Cave."
Whenever I go to a place, I always look for traces of inscriptions first. On the stone carving corridor outside Zhijin Cave, I found inscriptions left by many famous people who were all captivated by this most beautiful underground karst cave.
Walking down from the entrance of Zhijin Cave, the winding path is about 6 kilometers long in total, with about 22 spectacular sights in the cave. Among them, the "Three Treasures" and "Nine Wonders" require you to slow down to appreciate the wonders, because every step is astonishing.
👍Zhijin's Three Treasures:
Overlord's Helmet • Ganoderma Tree • Silver Rain Tree
👍Zhijin's Nine Wonders:
Upside-Down Pipa • Snow-Pressed Green Pine • Sister Jade Trees • Midstream Pillar • Sky-Piercing Thread • Pearl in Hand • Salvation of All Beings • Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law Affection • A Land of Grace and Beauty
Zhijin Cave's iconic attractions
✅Overlord's Helmet, a 17-meter-tall stalagmite resembling the helmet worn by ancient generals.
✅Silver Rain Tree, also formed by dripping water over ten thousand years, is a cave treasure as white and flawless as an exquisite pagoda.
✅Pipa Palace • Upside-Down Pipa, another exquisite masterpiece naturally formed by the dripping water in Zhijin Cave, witnessing it in person is profoundly moving.
✅Sister Jade Trees, a landscape similar to the Silver Rain Tree, symbolizing that sisters united can harvest the purest friendship.
Throughout Zhijin Cave, I was constantly amazed by the karst treasures and cave wonders, feeling that Zhijin Cave is indeed different from other caves that need a lot of lighting to embellish. Zhijin Cave does not need lighting to remain mysterious and stunning. You must visit Zhijin Cave when you come to Guizhou, otherwise, you will not know how wonderful and breathtaking the underground world can be.
📝Tips for visiting Zhijin Cave:
There is only one path inside the cave, so don't worry about getting lost! Just follow the signs
The temperature inside the cave is below 10°C all year round, so it's best to bring a coat
The cave is damp and has water accumulation, so be careful of slipping
There are two commercial photo spots inside the cave, which I personally think are unnecessary
It is recommended to buy a combo ticket for Zhijin Cave + Zhijin Grand Canyon for better value
📍Information about Zhijin Cave Scenic Area:
Ticket: 140 RMB per person, including sightseeing car
Time: 8:30—17:00
Address: Guanzhai Miao Ethnic Township, Zhijin County, Bijie, Guizhou
Transportation: It is recommended to drive by yourself and navigate to Zhijin Cave
The Fantasy Weaving Gold Cave, an underground art treasury and karst museum
🌈The Fantasy Weaving Gold Cave, an underground art treasury and karst museum🌈
💫Stepping into the Weaving Gold Cave is like entering a magical fairy tale world. It encompasses various sedimentary forms found in the world's caves today and is known as a "world wonder". Master Feng Mu once left the timeless quote: "After returning from Mount Huang, one need not look at other peaks; outside the Weaving Gold Cave, there is no other cave heaven. With the scenery of Lang Huan blessed land and Yaochi landscape, one begins to believe that the heavenly palace exists among men." This speaks volumes of its extraordinary charm.
🌸Originally named 'Chicken Beating Cave', the Weaving Gold Cave becomes a gathering place for the Miao people during their traditional festival 'Tiaohua Festival'. They come together to play shuttlecock, with laughter and joy, creating a lively atmosphere. The landscape inside the cave is even more unique, making visitors linger and forget to return.
🏞️The entire Weaving Gold Cave scenic area covers approximately 307 square kilometers, divided into four major parts: Weaving Gold Ancient City, Weaving Gold Cave, Jie River Canyon, and Hongjiadu. The most notable features of the Weaving Gold Cave are its 'size, strangeness, and completeness'. The scale is grand, the momentum is majestic, and the height difference, span, and area inside the cave are all awe-inspiring. There are even deposits up to 70 meters high, much taller than the stalagmites in Cuba's Martin Mountain Cave, which holds the world record.
🌈The cave contains more than 40 types of calcium carbonate deposits, covering all forms of cave deposits, truly making it a 'karst museum'. The cave is divided into 11 major scenic areas, including the Welcome Hall, Scripture Hall, and Shouxing Palace, each with its unique charm. Especially the Hundred-Meter Gallery, which is the essence of the entire cave, dazzling visitors.
🏡Outside the cave, there are villages of the Buyi, Miao, and Yi ethnic minorities, with rich and colorful folk activities. With more than forty Tiaohua Slope gatherings each year, visitors can experience the strong ethnic customs.
💖If you also want to embark on a fantasy journey, come to the Weaving Gold Cave! Not only does it boast magical natural landscapes, but also rich ethnic customs, ensuring your visit is well worth it!
Zhijin Cave is acclaimed as: "The Number One Cave under Heaven" and "Karst Museum"
Zhijin Cave Global Geopark is located in Guanzhai Miao Ethnic Township, Zhijin County, Guizhou Province, characterized by typical karst landforms, featuring unique karst caves and canyons as the main body, combined with the ethnic customs of minorities, with a high degree of combination.

The scenic area has a subtropical plateau climate, with an average temperature of 14.1 degrees Celsius, no severe cold in winter, and no extreme heat in summer, making the climate pleasant. It boasts a good natural ecological environment, profound historical and cultural heritage, and rich tourism resources. On July 15, 2022, it was rated as a national 5A-level tourist attraction by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Inside the cave is a complete karst system with multiple levels, stages, categories, and forms, which can be summarized by the words 'big, strange, and complete'. The cave is a place that one must visit at least once in a lifetime, otherwise, one will never know how wonderful the planet they live on is! Coming to Zhijin Cave will fill this gap!
After returning from Mount Huang, one no longer seeks other peaks; outside Zhijin Cave, there is no other 'Cave Heaven'
Zhijin Cave,
officially known as Zhijin Cave National Geopark,
is located in Guanzhai Miao Ethnic Township, Zhijin County, Bijie City, Guizhou Province,
120 kilometers from Guiyang.
The park has an elevation of 900~1670 meters and covers an area of 170 square kilometers,
and has been named 'King of Caves in China' by 'China National Geography'.
In 2015, Zhijin Cave National Geopark was officially approved by UNESCO to join the Global Geoparks Network,
becoming the first Global Geopark in Guizhou Province,
and filling the void of no Global Geoparks in Guizhou.
✅ Must Experience: Witness the stalagmite wonder--Overlord's Helmet
The Overlord's Helmet is one of the 'Three Wonders' of Zhijin Cave.
It is also the only helmet-shaped stalagmite found in the world that looks so lifelike.
The Overlord's Helmet is 14 meters tall,
consisting of a cap-shaped stalagmite at the bottom,
and a slender rod-shaped stalagmite on top,
adorned with pearls and shimmering with silver light, resembling the helmet of the ancient King of Chu.
Under the reflection of the water in the pool in front,
it appears even more dreamlike and mysterious, adding to its mystique.
From a distance, it doesn't seem very large,
but as you get closer, you realize it's as tall as a 5-story building.
✅ Must Experience: Observe the treasure of the Earth--Silver Rain Tree
The Silver Rain Tree is one of the 'Three Wonders' of Zhijin Cave,
and is currently the most beautifully shaped tower-like stalagmite found in the world,
17 meters tall, resembling an exquisitely carved ivory pagoda,
covered in gold and silver, it is the 'face' of Zhijin Cave.
The Silver Rain Tree is pure white,
with patterns on its body as delicate as blooming flowers,
the stalactites on its base resemble colorful seashells,
and in combination with the surrounding stalactites and the blue light background,
it looks like a treasure from the Dragon Palace in the East Sea.
It took about 150,000 years for the Silver Rain Tree to form from the white jade plate to the top,
and its current shape is the result of tens of thousands of years of constant water dripping without any change and a constant water supply.
✅ Must Experience: View the giant karst mural
The Great Mural of Zhijin Cave is one of the 'Three Wonders' of Zhijin Cave.
A huge karst relief mural,
almost a hundred meters high and over two hundred meters long,
formed by numerous stone curtains, columns, mantles, and stalactites,
with extraordinary momentum and a myriad of scenes,
fully showcasing the 'grand' characteristic of Zhijin Cave,
and is also extremely rare in the world of caves.
✅ Must Experience: View the shield-shaped column--Upside-down Pipa
A spectacle in the Pipa Palace of Zhijin Cave,
it looks like a giant pipa hanging upside down in the cave, clearly distinguishable.
The Upside-down Pipa is a column formed by the coexistence and development of a 'vertical stone shield' and 'stalagmite',
and is currently the largest and most beautifully shaped shield-shaped column found in the world.
The King of Caves, the experience of touring Zhijin Cave is truly a continuous 'wow'
Under the vast starry sky-like cave ceiling, there are variously shaped stalactites, a bit like entering the world of 'The Grave Robbers' Chronicles', quite shocking! Photos can't capture the shock of the scene at all.
🍀 Zhijin Cave is located in Guanzhai Miao Township, Zhijin County, Bijie City, Guizhou Province, with a length of 13 kilometers. The cave is filled with various kinds of stalagmite deposits and crystals, with more than 120 different forms, setting a world record, and is a World Geopark.
To visit:
1⃣️ Self-driving: Zhijin Cave is about an hour and a half's drive from Guiyang. There are 3 parking lots in the scenic area.

If you go to Zhijin Grand Canyon, park at parking lot 1, and there is a shuttle bus from the last stop of the Zhijin Cave sightseeing bus to the Grand Canyon.
2⃣️ Public transportation: Search for 'Qianshang Bus' on WeChat, and you can buy bus tickets from Guiyang to Zhijin County from this mini-program.

👉 The whole cave tour takes about 3 hours or more, with only one one-way route, one cave entrance in, and another cave exit out, all the way on stairs. It's not too tiring to walk the whole way if you usually walk a lot.

Guizhou is truly worthy of the title 'Land of a Thousand Waterfalls', the City of Caves👍
Guizhou|For the first time, I came to the most beautiful tourist cave in China
For the first time, I came to the most beautiful tourist cave in China. If you are used to the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas on the surface, then you might as well come to Zhijin in Guizhou to take a look.
This is the hometown of Ding Baozhen, an honest official from the Qing Dynasty, and it also boasts the astonishing karst landscape of the underground paradise--Zhijin Cave.
Only by entering the cave do you realize that nature has taken hundreds of thousands of years to create a mysterious underground world that it does not readily reveal, a sight rarely seen by those of us living on the surface. No wonder Zhijin Cave was once rated by China National Geography as the most beautiful tourist cave in China.
The 'Three Treasures' inside the cave, the Overlord's Helmet, Silver Rain Tree, and Ganoderma Mountain, are spectacular. The majestic and imposing peaks, the bizarrely shaped rocks, and the natural wonders crafted by nature into one art piece after another, make you instantly feel the insignificance of humanity. There are also touching stories of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law affection, and the Sister Jade Trees standing tall and graceful, cleansing both the eyes and the soul.
It is recommended to allocate more than 2 hours for a visit to Zhijin Cave, as its magnificence cannot be fully appreciated in a hurry. The entire route is long and does not involve retracing your steps.
Some sections inside the cave are dripping with water, so be careful of slipping, and it is best to wear non-slip shoes.

Journey to Zhijin Cave
In Zhijin County, Guizhou Province, there is a hidden fairyland - Zhijin Cave. This is a karst cave, known for its bizarre and colorful cave landscapes. This summer, I was fortunate to visit Zhijin Cave with my family and experience this amazing underground world.
We walked along the winding mountain road, with green trees on both sides, insects and birds singing, as if welcoming our arrival. Soon, we arrived at the entrance of Zhijin Cave. At the entrance of the cave, you can feel a cool breath, which makes people instantly forget the hot summer outside.
Entering the cave, we were shocked by the scene before us. The cave ceiling, cave walls, and cave floor are all full of stalactites, stalagmites, and stone flowers of various shapes. They shine under the light, colorful and dazzling. Continuing along the tour route, we saw the 'Zhijin Color Pool Group'. This is a color pool composed of various stalactites, stalagmites, and stone flowers. They are of various shapes and colorful, dreamlike, as if in a fairyland.
Inside Zhijin Cave, we also saw a landscape called 'Silver Rain Tree'. This is a huge stalagmite, covered with shimmering silver-white crystals, like the brilliant stars in the night sky. Under the light, it is even more beautiful, making people amazed.
After nearly two hours in the cave, we reluctantly left this beautiful place. The beauty and magic of Zhijin Cave made all of us very shocked. This is the masterpiece of nature and the essence of karst caves.
Looking back at this trip to Zhijin Cave, I feel extremely satisfied and emotional. I saw the wonders and beauty of nature and felt the vitality of nature. Here, I appreciate the charm and power of nature, which gives me a deeper understanding and awe of this world.
In general, this trip to Zhijin Cave was an unforgettable experience. The beautiful scenery and wonders here deeply made me feel the magic and charm of nature. I hope to have the opportunity to come to this beautiful place again in the future and continue to explore this wonderful world.
The rarest and largest karst cave in China - Zhijin Cave
What excites me the most about visiting Bijie Zhijin County is this diverse and spectacular Zhijin Cave.
🌟The two guardian lions at the entrance of the cave are very lifelike, and now you can appreciate them carefully from a high place.
🌟The stalactites here are diverse in shape, and their value and shape are incomparable to other caves. There are silhouettes of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, upside-down lutes, snow-pressed pines, crystal-clear sister pillars, salvation of all beings, a pillar supporting the sky, the treasure of the cave, the golden helmet, the Zhijin lighthouse...
✅There are so many stalactite shapes inside, they are so realistic, ingenious, dreamlike, as if entering a heavenly palace. Come here and use your brain, even the most imaginative ideas can find their protagonist here.
📝tips: Photo check-in
The treasure of the cave, the golden helmet, is the best place to take a photo.
The upside-down lute is also a great place for photo check-in.
The dreamlike Guanghan Palace is surrounded by mist in the photos.
⏳The 6.6-kilometer viewing route takes about two hours. It is recommended to wear non-slip shoes because the cave is quite damp and slippery.
China National Geographic calls Zhijin Cave the 'King of Chinese Karst Caves', 'After returning from Huangshan, there is no mountain to see, and there is no cave outside Zhijin Cave!' It shows how magical it is, Zhijin is a must-visit place!
There is a parking lot at the service center. After parking, go to the service hall to buy tickets, and then take the shuttle bus to go.
Whether you are driving or taking a train, it is very convenient. You can take a special train from Guiyang to Zhijin County and return on the same day. It is very convenient to take a bus to Zhijin Cave from the county town.
Before I went to Zhijin Cave in Guizhou, I have seen some large and small caves. I have always been very uncomfortable with this kind of tourist attractions, but when I came to Zhijindong, it was still huge and magical and beautiful. The karst landforms were shocked, and the shocks can only be experienced by themselves. Many words and beautiful words are pale. The cave area with a total area of more than 700,000 square meters has only developed 350,000 square meters. It is divided into 11 halls and 47 small halls. The light trails are 6.6 kilometers long. In the cave, there are all kinds of strange stalagmites, stone pillars, stone towers, stone vines, stone flowers, etc., which form a strange landscape. It is amazing to be amazed by nature. It is no wonder that there are poems and praises: Huangshan returns without watching Yue, Zhijindong There is no hole outside, and the resort is located in Yaochi, such as Xintian Palace.
Zhijindong is the first world geopark in Guizhou Province, located on the south bank of Liuchong River in Guanzhai Miao Township, Zhijin County. The Liuchong River is one of the sources of the Wujiang River.
Zhijindong has a hall and attractions such as the Welcome Hall, the Lecture Hall, the Guanghan Palace, the Wanshou Palace and the Lingbi Hall. There are holes in the cave, there are holes in the sky, and various landscapes are still growing and evolving. From the data point of view, Zhijindong was named the first of the "China's Six Most Beautiful Tourist Caves", the "China's Top Ten Wonder Caves", and the "King of China's Caves", with many world firsts and the world's best. .
Walk through the various cave halls in Zhijindong, you can't see the colorful lighting. Most of the landscapes are only illuminated with environmentally friendly lights that are close to white. Only the landscapes that need special highlights have colored lights. This kind of practice is both simple and environmentally friendly. Visitors are looking at the beauty of the cave.
Zhijindong is a treasure trove of cave resources that is so large and unique in China. In the end, what kind of wonders there are, there are too many spectacles, silver rain trees, 150,000 years of age, polished 17 meters high, like the ivory carved exquisite tower, gilded with silver; overlord helmet, woven gold hole inside One of the three musts, because it resembles the helmet of the ancient Chu Bawang; the mural is a huge karst through-cut mural; the Guanghan Palace is composed of giant stalagmites such as Shifo, Ganoderma lucidum, Boulder Bell, and 100,000 Dashan. Spectacular. There is also the Lingxiao Temple, the Shouxing Palace, the Curly Stone.... I have already thought about it, and there is a place for this May Day holiday.
##
This is the dinner before Bijie is going to weaving Jindong. The rich nature is self-evident, mainly as a hometown dish of Bijie, unique, simple and delicious. On the one hand, for example, the locally grown bamboo simmered chicken is a unique dish that is memorable. There are many hotels near the Zhijin Cave, and there are many hotels, so there are not many food restaurants like this, so if you plan to travel on a small holiday, Don't worry, be ready to go!
In the cave world, the status of the Zhijin Cave can no longer be ignored. This cave has too many praises and auras. It is the head of China's Top Ten Wonder Caves and The King of China's Caves. On September 19, 2015, Zhijindong was officially approved by UNESCO to join the World Geopark. The first world geopark in Guizhou Province.
Zhijindong is located in Zhijin County, Guizhou Province, about 120 kilometers from Guiyang, the provincial capital, and can be reached in two hours. With a total length of 6.6 kilometers, Zhijindong is one of the largest caves in the country.
If you have visited other caves, you will find that after entering the Zhijin Cave, there are not so many colorful lights to decorate, so that visitors can see the geological forms of various caves. The reason why
Zhijindong is called "the king of caves" is that it has many of the world's most caves in the world. For example, if the entire part of the cave has been developed, it will reach 350,000 square meters. The multi-category and high grade of the deposits in the cave are rare in the world.
The first feeling of entering the Zhijin Cave is wide. The general caves are narrow and crowded. There are several halls in the Zhijin Cave. The height and width of the cave are generally between 60 and 100 meters.
"China National Geographic" once named "the most beautiful place in China", among which Zhijindong was rated as one of the six most beautiful tourist caves in China, ranking first in "China's most beautiful tourist caves".
Before coming to Guizhou, I only knew that the caves in Guilin were very strange. When I was doing the Guizhou Raiders, I found a highly acclaimed Zhijin Cave. Although the road was troublesome, I decided to take a look.
Zhijindong Tickets are 120 yuan and student tickets are 60 yuan. There is also a 20-yuan battery car return ticket.
There is a free team leader who will enter the hole after getting a group of people.
Probably I went to a small cave in the second day of the year. I looked at the moment from the hole and looked fearful. The darkness of the air and the cold air in the hole all made people fear, but after entering, it was another A world, thinking that we must go again when we grow up.
This time I went to the one that I have been to, but it is more beautiful, more strange, and more tremble. In the past two hours, the time in the cave seems to cross, like a dream. The
hole is majestic, and the huge mountain is engraved with the word "woven gold hole". The convenience is the stone step into the hole. With the explanation of the sister into the hole, unlike my impression of the beauty of the mountain in Guizhou, the scene in front of the mountain is spectacular, and a group of people are so small.
Everywhere, the explanation will tell us how many years of deposition will form the scene. For hundreds of years, thousands of years, how many drops of water do not care about falling down, only to show us what it looks like.
Weaving the golden hole of the great all the way has attracted everyone's praise, nature, always magical, two hours inside the hole, I deeply feel it is worth it.
