Live Your Best Lives
Maybe you have experienced bungee jumping and skydiving, soaring freely in the unrestrained world with your heartbeat accelerated to the extreme; maybe you have climbed many mountains and seen many sunrises, sunsets, sea of clouds, starry sky and Milky Way; maybe you already have a diving license, and in the deep blue world, you have entered the long jump of the soul again and again.
But you may not have experienced the light of darkness yet. Under the land we stand on, tens or even hundreds of meters deep, in the extremely dark natural environment, there is another world...
Caving is still relatively unfamiliar to many people. Darkness and loss of direction are things that most people have never experienced. The tension and fear caused by darkness and confinement are far greater than people's perception of the cave's original strange scenery.
Caving is such a challenge. Its charm lies in the fact that you never know what you will see or discover next. It can satisfy your infinite imagination and desire for continuous exploration.
my country is one of the earliest countries in the world to explore caves, and it's also home to some of the earliest documented caving sites. With tens of thousands of karst caves, China boasts a wealth of resources for caving exploration. We've compiled a list of some of these iconic locations, each one breathtakingly beautiful, naturally beautiful, and mysterious. Let's explore them together!
Jilong Mountain is located in Tonglu, Zhejiang Province, across the river from Yaolin Wonderland, one of the top 40 tourist attractions in China. It has a typical karst landform, pristine nature, and an altitude of more than 800 meters.
Canyons, streams, mountains and plains form a continuous rolling hills, with clouds and mist shrouding the mountains and jagged rocks in the forests. It is a great place for outdoor hiking.
Jilong Mountain boasts four natural caves, each with its own unique characteristics. Surrounded by mist year-round, the area is dotted with unusually shaped rocks, numerous caves of varying sizes, and numerous underground rivers and springs.
The interior of Jinniu Cave is flat and can be traversed on foot. As soon as you enter, you will feel a cool breeze and experience the excitement of caving in advance.

The city gate tunnel is even more exciting. The road leading into the tunnel extends forward in a spiral shape. It is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, but small enough to accommodate only one person. Even the strong lights cannot reach the top.

In summer, the waterfall is so deep that you can't see the bottom. There are also stalactites that are thousands of years old and in a myriad of shapes. You can wander through the caves carved out by the water and brush against the stalactites.

You just need to overcome your fear of heights and speed, have the determination to move forward bravely and persevere to the end, and of course, the encouragement and protection of your coach and companions!

The total area of the relic is 5,019 square kilometers, accounting for nearly 1/4 of the total number of tiankengs in the world. It is a well-deserved "world's largest tiankeng group."
The Hanzhong tiankengs, the oldest of which may date back to 680,000 years ago, have another major feature: they are all located in primeval forests.
my country's karst landforms are most famous for the "Southern Karst of China" World Natural Heritage, but none of them has such lush and lush primeval forests as the Hanzhong Tiankeng Group.
In the tiankeng hidden in the primeval forest, chemical deposits are everywhere, such as tall stalagmites, stone forests, stone fields, stone pearls, etc.
Each of the Hanzhong tiankengs has its own characteristics, such as Boniukeng, which has a primitive forest landscape, abundant underground rivers, underground waterfalls, and underground caves that extend in all directions and are unfathomable.
Tianxing Cave has two large skylights. When the weather is clear, sunlight shines in through the skylights and the light from the sky pours down, looking like stars, which is spectacular. Therefore, it is called Tianxing Cave.

After seeing so many mysterious and fascinating worlds inside the Earth, which one do you prefer? Don't forget these tips when you visit: repeat them three times in your mind before you set off!
1. Caving is not a one-person game. Please ensure that you go with at least two people and follow a professional leader to reduce unnecessary risks.
2. When entering the cave, ensure that there is sufficient light source and bring lamps and sufficient batteries. If the time is long, prepare multiple spare lamps. Wear a helmet when necessary to ensure safe walking in the cave.
3. When walking in the cave, please follow the leader's pace and let the leader walk in front to lead the way. You can make marks along the way according to regulations.
4. When walking in the cave, avoid running and jumping. Try to use your hands and feet when going up and down the slope, and walk slowly.
5. If you get lost, don't walk around. The best thing to do is to wait for rescue where you are.
Let’s feel the darkness and the unknown together, feel the charm of nature with our hearts together, and go to the inner world of the earth that has not been developed by humans and polished by modern technology and lighting!
In this maze-like world, we all fear the darkness. Whether we can defeat it depends on how we define it: What is darkness? What is light? How can we overcome it?
