★Travel location: Hongguoshu Scenic Area, Suiyang County, Zunyi, Guizhou
My little friend checked the strategy on the Internet a long time ago, and he admired Hongguoshu very much. He even urged me to give up Huangguoshu, which was rotten by tourists, and go directly to Hongguoshu. So the first stop we arranged in Suiyang was Hongguoshu.
We checked the strategy on the Internet and found that to go to Hongguoshu, we need to go to the station to take a bus. Later, I asked the front desk of the hotel, only to know that there is a minibus to Hongguoshu at the door of the hotel. We asked an elder sister at the station, but the elder sister told us how to get on the bus very enthusiastically. Before she could introduce Hongguoshu to us eloquently, she hurriedly cut off the conversation: "That is the bus, it has already arrived."
We thanked the eldest sister very happily, but the eldest sister stepped on the minibus and introduced to the driver that we were tourists from other places and we were going to Hongguoshu: "Put them at the intersection where there are cars passing by. They are from other places. If you know the way, you have to show them the way."
We thanked her sincerely, watched her jump out of the car with a smile, and thought with emotion: What a passionate Guizhou native. Immediately, the favorability towards Suiyang skyrocketed, and the mood early in the morning was also extremely beautiful.
When the car arrived at the intersection, the driver told us to get off here and wait for passing vehicles at the intersection. However, the frequency of the bus is a little less, and you may have to wait longer. It is about three kilometers away on foot. After we got off the bus, the master driver pointed his head out and told us to wait for the bus at the corner.
We waved goodbye to the driver with smiles on our faces. The people of Suiyang are so enthusiastic. The 10,000 points of damage they received in Zhenning just now recovered with full blood.
There is a huge stone at the intersection, with six characters "Hongguoshu Scenic Area" written vertically. We were smiling, and while we were in a good mood, instead of standing on the road and waiting for the bus, we might as well walk on foot. three kilometers? No problem at all!
In no time, we were giving our decision three thumbs up. The rural scenery along the way is extremely beautiful, and even the water of the small river has a light green color, like a flawless aquamarine. And the scalpers on the other side were pacing slowly, looking at us from time to time.
In the clear shallows, there are ducks playing. Some lived in solitude, others in groups, some seemed to be a small, close family, and some a large family.
Such an idyllic scenery!
"However, it should be more fun in Hongguoshu Scenic Area. Let's go to Hongguoshu first, and then go here when we come out later?" The little friend said with nostalgia.
I readily agree, after all, the scenic spot has opening hours, and no one here is in a hurry to close it (our experience of being locked up in Shanghu was so impressive that we all pay attention to the closing time of the scenic spot).
Walking into the gate of the scenic spot, looking at the guide map, and simply planning the tour route, the first stop is undoubtedly Tianyuan Cave, another karst cave.
Walking to the entrance of the cave, they were immediately attracted by the small trees on the cave wall. The trees here are not as sprawling as Huangguoshu. Although I can't find where the roots are (because they are too deep on the rock wall), it is obvious that there are small trees. One of the trees is tied with red silk, and it seems to be the famous century-old tree.
"Does this tree actually have to grow for a hundred years?" The little friend sighed, "It can be seen that the nutrients in the stone are really too little, and the supply is insufficient."
I deeply believe that being able to grow tenaciously on rocks year after year is the tenacity of plants in itself. It's still early spring, and the little tree hasn't sprouted yet. If it comes to summer, I don't know if it will be lush, or will it look like a malnourished and dejected one?
Tianyuan Cave is composed of a sloped corridor, three cave halls, two skylights and nearly a thousand meters of narrow and long tunnels. The inclined corridor is more than 80 meters long, 30 meters wide and 20 meters high. If it is used as a parking lot, it can park more than 100 cars.
There is also a tree growing upside down at the entrance of the cave, the roots are outside, and the tree grows downward. It can also be regarded as the second wonderful place dedicated to Tianyuan Cave by plants.
There is a hole at the top with a diameter of 9 feet 9 inches. The sky can be seen through the sky hole. I thought of an idiom "sitting in a well and watching the sky". The most amazing thing about this cave is that no matter how much rain it rains, the cave will not drip rainwater.
Entering the cave is a huge restaurant, known as the cave restaurant, which can accommodate more than 100 tourists dining at the same time. But it is not high season, so the restaurant is not open.
There is a fork in the road and you can turn left. This is a wine shop, which really looks like a bar. But again, it's not open.
We walked along the passage, which gradually narrowed. The karst landform along the cave is still reflected by colorful lights, which is a bit magically beautiful.
On a long pillar, the words "Guizhou Hongguo Tree" are engraved. I don't know whether it was carved from the original stone of the pillar or glued on it. I'm guessing the latter.
There is no name given to these fantastic stalactites in the cave like Yelang Cave, and bright natural light is encountered within a short distance.
Walking out of Tianyuan Cave, Tianmen Cave and Tianxing Cave are listed on both sides of the road, it is easy to make people suffer from difficulty in choosing! We closed our eyes and chose Tianxing Cave.
There are three skylights in the cave, so the natural light in the cave is very good. The stalactites in the cave have strange shapes. It is said that from 10:40 to 11:30 in the morning, the sun shines directly on the surface of Ziwu Lake, and the golden light is brilliant, which can be called a wonder in the world.
I looked up at the overcast sky and sighed. It’s easy to say, speaking of it, we didn’t pick the right time today, and we missed Ziwutan.
There is a "Statue of the Virgin Mary" at the entrance of the cave. Of course, what the Virgin Mary looks like can only be imagined. Although nature is amazingly crafty enough, it cannot really carve out a beautiful woman like a flower.
"Stone pot stove" is specially explained by the brand, but I have never seen a stone pot stove in my life, so looking at this stone, I really didn't see the appearance of a stone pot stove in my imagination. It seems that visiting caves still requires a little life experience!
When entering the cave, Tianmen Cave looked like a cave entrance, but when looking back after entering the cave, there were two gates, so it was named Tianmen Cave. The whole cave is 500 meters long, with a drop of 200 meters. The cave hall is grand, with many landscapes, and there are yew trees outside the cave door. Well, for the Jiangyin people who live in a red bean base, the yew is really not a rare species.
The surrounding area of Tianmen Cave is rich in aquatic plants and products, and the entrance of the cave leads directly to the top of the mountain, which is convenient for observing the surrounding things and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Humans lived and multiplied here tens of thousands of years ago. It is said that during the early development of Tianmen Cave, relics of fire used by ancient people were found in the cave, and daily necessities such as stoneware and porcelain also confirmed this statement.
Tianmen Cave may be the most beautiful of the three caves in Hongguoshu. There are many scenic spots in the cave. Although the scale is small, it is worth walking twice to appreciate the various stalactites from different angles.
The Kiss of Heaven and Earth is two stalactites that "grow" vigorously from the roof and the ground respectively, and finally connect together in mid-air, as if in a kissing gesture, which is very vivid.
There are also various small stalactites hanging from the top of the cave, and when illuminated by the light, it seems to have entered a fairyland. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple, these lights create a beautiful illusion for the stalactites.
The stalactites grow very densely, often with dozens of columns row upon row, and of course no two columns are exactly the same. They have different shapes and myriad shapes, which are amazing.
Yingyuetan is a water pool in the cave. I guess it may be half a month, through the small skylight on the top of the cave, you can really see a moon in the shallow pool. There is no light at Yingyue Lake. We turned on the flashlight of our mobile phone to see that the water quality of Yingyue Lake is very clear, with a light green color, which is very beautiful.
Records of poetry:
Tianyuan Cave is connected to Tianxing Cave, and you can watch the waterfall in front of the waterfall viewing platform.
Bamboo language and pine sound come as companions, flying straight down to Zhangchun Pool.
