🌌Hangzhou Lingshan Illusion|Accidentally Entered the Mysterious Underground Wonder of the Spider Cave✨
I found a more dreamy and lesser-known secret spot than the Firefly Cave! Hidden at the foot of Lingshan Mountain by West Lake in Hangzhou, it’s a magical combination of karst landforms and light art. I recommend bringing your bestie or partner to check it out; the atmosphere is instantly amazing~
🎇Highlights:
1⃣ There really are "fireflies" at the entrance! Twinkling lights flicker on the rock walls, like stepping into a fairy tale world.
2⃣ Colorful lights shine on the stalactites, with red/blue/purple light effects intertwined. Every shot looks like a magical movie scene.
3⃣ The 60-meter-high cave hall is super spectacular. Looking up at the dome gives you the illusion of being on an alien battlefield.
4⃣ At the deepest part, you’ll encounter an "underground waterfall," where the sound of water creates a surround sound effect inside the cave.
