Zhijin Cave, I rarely use shocking to describe a place
I went to Bijie some time ago and it was so exciting...
Whether it is the alpine grassland landscape or the karst landform, it is extremely shocking.
The most impressive thing is Zhijin Cave. Perhaps compared to the famous Huangguoshu and Xiaoqikong in Guizhou, it is relatively niche, but nature’s preference is clearly revealed here.

Taikoo Cave is located in the Taohuayuan Scenic Spot in Fuyang, Chongqing. It is about three kilometers long and about 2.5 kilometers in the cave landscape. It takes about two hours to complete the journey.
Taikoo Cave is the last hiding place for the Taoyuan people to escape the war. There are holes in the cave and there is no hole in the sky.
Taikoo Cave was formed in ancient times, and various wonders in the cave are still growing and changing.
A small path connects the two ends of the hole and walks on the path. The vision is narrow and narrow, and the width is wide and wide. Various stone pillars, stalagmites, stone sarcophagi and stalactites are different in shape. Under the light, various anthropomorphic images are transformed. It is amazing. .
