🗺 Route Details:
1⃣ Currently under government control; undeveloped—contact locals for guided entry.

3⃣ After about an hour of walking, you'll reach an exit. Avoid venturing further into dense woods—this spot is already the best for photos!
💡 Blogger's Notes:
I was stunned by nature's beauty upon entering—such a massive, breathtaking cave! A cool breeze flows through, making summer visits feel like standing under AC.
Stalactites shimmer under flashlight beams, creating a magical sight.
Beginners can explore, but the cave is vast—hire a local guide for safety.
Our guide was a Gen-Z college student from the village who took amazing photos for us, haha.
No signal inside—I recorded the route using "Two Step Road" app; feel free to use it if needed.
🎒【Gear Suggestions】
✔ Non-slip hiking shoes (gravel paths are slippery!)
✔ High-power flashlight (better light = better photos)
✔ Light backpack (easier to navigate with a backpack)
