🌞|||Escape the heat of Xi'an in just 1 hour and find a quiet and beautiful summer paradise, completely free! Although the cave is not as grand as the Zhashui Cave, the scenery inside is breathtaking!

📍Zuoshui Cave
💸Free entry
🚗Only 1 hour by car
🅿️Parking fee: CNY 10/time
⛰Wangchuan Cave is divided into two areas: Xishui Cave and Lingyun Cave. Both are not too difficult to climb and take about 20 minutes to walk through. We walked slowly because we had kids with us!

⛰Xishui Cave
Xishui Cave is taller and more magnificent. Inside the cave, there are dozens of colorful clay sculptures and a plank road with ancient poems from Wang Wei's "Wangchuan Collection," allowing you to admire the wonders of nature while appreciating ancient poetry!

⛰Lingyun Cave
Lingyun Cave is longer, narrower, and deeper underground. You have to bend over with every step, and only one person can pass through at a time, making you feel like you're in the "narrow passage" of the "Peach Blossom Spring."

🎢You can choose to take the slide down the mountain, 💸CNY 25/person. It's actually easier to go down than up, so you can decide whether to take the slide or not. It's not recommended for those who are timid (some people screamed on the spot, which was hilarious)!

👗The cave is very cool, in stark contrast to the high temperatures outside, making it a summer paradise. The temperature inside the cave is only about 15 degrees, and you may even feel a little chilly. The staff wear sweaters, so if you're afraid of the cold, remember to bring a jacket.

🥣There are many local snacks inside and outside the scenic area, such as cold noodles, heluo, shenxian noodles, pancakes, etc., all at affordable prices!

🔫There are also many stalls in the scenic area selling water guns, ceramic whistles, root carvings, or wooden crafts.

❤️This place is perfect for a weekend with kids, but not suitable for older people, as there are steps throughout the journey. Although not steep, climbing can be tiring (walking sticks are sold in the scenic area)!
