Guizhou | Zhijin Cave, Bijie | Underground Art Palace.
On this magical land of Bijie, there is an amazing place - Zhijin Cave. It is like a mysterious underground art palace, waiting for people to explore and appreciate.
Walking into Zhijin Cave is like stepping into a fantasy world. There are strange rocks in the cave, stalactites, stalagmites, stone pillars and other shapes, some are like fairies descending to the earth, some are like Arhats sitting, some are like birds and beasts, every scene is amazing. Under the colorful lights, these strange rocks are even more dazzling, like a dream.
The scale of Zhijin Cave is huge, and the cave passages are crisscrossed, making people feel as if they are in a huge maze. Walking in it, feeling the magic of nature, can't help but feel awe of nature. The air here is fresh and moist, with a hint of coolness, making people feel extremely comfortable even in the hot summer.
Zhijin Cave, the underground art treasure of Bijie, attracts countless tourists with its unique charm. It is not only a natural landscape, but also a palace full of artistic atmosphere, which is worth your personal experience.

We entered Zhijin Cave at around nine o'clock. There weren't too many people, so walking was easy. To be honest, such a large cave without many people is a bit scary. There are toilets and supply points inside the cave, and the trash bins are very user-friendly. The coldest place was 14 degrees Celsius, and we finished our snacks there. I recommend renting a guide device; it's quite interesting. In the afternoon, we still had energy to visit Zhijin Grand Canyon. We didn't encounter the infamous shuttle bus, there were no queues, and the scenery was nice for a stroll.
The road to the past was extremely bumpy, supposedly because it's a niche attraction. But we waited in the longest line here, 45 minutes for the boat, possibly because there was a tour group ahead, or maybe because we entered the park at around ten o'clock. I recommend entering through the Longjing entrance and exiting through the same. One trip by boat and one on foot; the boat ride is only about ten to twenty minutes, and some scenery needs to be experienced slowly on foot. The grand cave at the Longjing entrance is very spectacular, like a heavenly palace stretching endlessly, followed by nine caves unfolding one by one. We entered through the west gate, agreed with the driver to exit through the east gate, took the boat from west to east, and then returned to the east gate. It's a very worthwhile scenic spot, with scenery comparable to the Three Gorges. On the way, we saw campsites and paragliding, very pleasant. Next time, I want to stay at the Huawu campsite for two days to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Finally, a note on Guiyang. We actually only spent two days in Guiyang, checking in at Qianling Mountain, Jiaxiu Tower, and the Geological Museum. Since we stayed on Taiping Street, there was a food street right downstairs. On the way to the hotel on the first day, we were amazed by the food; just looking at it made us full. On the second day, we went to Qingyun Market at five in the afternoon. There were quite a few people, but you could eat directly without queuing or waiting for a seat. We left at around seven-thirty, just as it was getting dark, and a large crowd was pouring into the market. We were glad to leave in time. On the way, we bought two low-sugar handmade cakes made by two young ladies for only five yuan each, and they were delicious.
