Jiuxiang Cave: A Majestic Underground Wonderland in Yunnan

We went to Shilin on the first day and came to Jiuxiang on the second day. Although the stone forest is unique, it is not enough to make people linger. But "Jiuxiang" [Congratulate][Congratulate][Congratulate] gives people a richer experience: canyons, deep pits, rivers, waterfalls, and endless caves, winding stone steps, stairs, and occasional dripping water from the stone walls... (it really makes people experience what is considered a "different world" [Love][Love][Love]) I have seen many people introduce that you only need to buy tickets and cable cars 🚠. Today I brought my children and the elderly all the way down. It was a 3.5-hour experience. If you have elderly and children, I really recommend a package ticket (especially when traveling with elders). The package for two adults and one child is 617. Including the first section of cable car 🚠 (round trip), small boat (smooth), speedboat (slow), the second section of suspended cable car, and shuttle bus. PS: The small train entering the scenic area starts at 11:00 and is very slow, with one train every 30 minutes. We walked directly along the railway track and basked in the warm winter sun for 5 minutes. It felt like there was no need to take the train (the train was free for the time being). I saw other bloggers mention the cable car elevator 🛗, okay (it’s the off-season with few people, so they are not running. You have to climb up and down by yourself, and all the elevators show "fault". Haha, do you believe it?!) There are official free photo taking facilities in the scenic area, "free" shooting and free photos (about 2 cm, basically unclear). If you want the original photo (with frame), it’s 30 yuan/photo. To be honest, I want both. I'm usually lazy and seldom develop photos, let alone buy photo frames. It's nice to have a ready-made one to take home and display (the cave is dark, and with professional photography, fill light, and SLR positioning, the results are indeed better than those taken with a mobile phone) [Chin][Chin][Chin] Finally, I want to say that nothing is cheap in scenic spots, so don't be misled by "lightning avoidance". It is necessary to make traveling with the elderly convenient; it is necessary to make traveling with children less tiring. I wish you all a happy new year, have fun and don't waste your money [Awesome][Awesome][Awesome]
