There is a “Wonderland” in Tonglu, Hangzhou, which is the best of all the caves in the country.

Tonglu is a county under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is located at the intersection of Fuchun River and Fenshui River. It has a long history and beautiful scenery. As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan was attracted by the strange mountains and waters here, and praised it as “Chest Tonglu”. . There are many attractions in Tonglu, among which there are more than 20 limestone caves, known as the “Kingdom of Karst Caves”, and the most famous one is Yaolin Cave, or “Yaolin Wonderland”.

Yaolin Wonderland is located in Yaolin Town, Tonglu County, about 25 kilometers away from Tonglu County. I believe everyone is not unfamiliar with karst caves. It is a karst landform formed by karst action of soluble rocks. Since it was discovered and developed into a tourist attraction, the Yaolin Wonderland is now a national 4A-level tourist attraction and has been awarded the “China “Top Forty Tourist Attractions” and one of the “Top Ten Tourist Attractions in Zhejiang”.

According to the survey by geologists, the Yaolin area was once a shallow sea as early as 270 million years ago. After the Himalayas and other orogenic movements, a completely new topography was formed. There are three necessary conditions for the formation of caves, namely limestone, permeable cracks and flowing water, combined with the precipitation of time, forming such a wonderland-like underground world wonder.

There are records of Yaolin’s fairyland in ancient times. During the Song Dynasty, the poet Ke Yuezhai compared this place to a fairyland. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, the magistrate of Tonglu nominated it as “Yaolin Wonderland”. It is also included in the local chronicles “Tonglu County Chronicles” Such a record: “Yaolin Cave, forty-five miles northwest of the county, the mouth of the cave is two feet wide, and the steps are more than five feet down. There are cliffs, land, pools, and caves… It also covers the place where gods and gods travel… …” It can be described as a land of immortal tourists.

Follow the path into the stone forest maze, the magical topography and the magnificent and colorful stalactite landscape come into view. It is not only the symbol of the Yaolin Wonderland, but also its treasure.

The cave world, which is like a fairyland, is like a shining palace, and the top of the dome of tens of meters is full of weather. Under the light of the light, the colorful stalactites are like stars twinkling, dazzling and imaginative.

Strolling on the stone steps of the Yaolin Cave, the sound of the underground river water echoed in your ears, one after another strange and colorful cave halls appeared in front of you, “Fairies Gathering”, “Lion Elephants Welcome Guest”, “Guanghan Stage”, “Penglai Palace” “Galactic waterfall” and other fairy-like scenes left a deep impression on people. “Secluded, deep, strange, beautiful” is the true portrayal of this place. It is no wonder that Yaolin’s Wonderland will have “the crown of the caves of the country”. “The title.

There are three cave halls in the entire Yaolin Wonderland. The first cave hall is the “Fairy Gathering”, and the “Galaxy Waterfall” is the most spectacular, which can be called a world wonder; the second cave hall has a deep canyon, where the stalagmite wonders are richer. , The stalagmites have different postures; the third cave hall is the “Thirty-Three Heavens”, which is the essence of the entire cave.

Regarding the “Thirty-Three Heavens”, some people compare it to the Dunhuang frescoes of the Tang Dynasty. The scenery you see in front of you can be described as a spectacle. Its magic has also inspired the imagination of countless people. Some people compare it to Wonderland, Wuling Village, Taohuayuan, and Penglai Island. Such a fairyland-like existence makes people feel relaxed and happy.

In addition to the fairyland-like landscapes, there are also cultural landscapes here. In the third cave hall, you can see the writings of “Eighteen Emperors of the Sui Dynasty” and “Seventeen Years of Tang Zhenguan”. The relics have a history of more than 2,900 years. In addition, relics of ancient coins of the Northern Song Dynasty, pottery pieces of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and celadon pieces of the Yuan Dynasty have been found here.

Unlike the caves I’ve been to in the past, it also incorporates an exceptionally fantastic 3D light and shadow show. The shocking sci-fi scene and the peculiar landscape of the cave are perfectly blended together, spectacular!
