Travel against the tide this Labor Day! Avoid the crowds at Anhui's Dawang Cave
Travel against the tide this Labor Day! Avoid the crowds at Anhui's Dawang Cave~
Following the previous article on Guoniuxiang. If you have a three-day holiday like me and haven't had enough fun, you can continue to the Jiuhua Qiupu scenic area in Guichi District, Chizhou to visit Dawang Cave
Dawang Cave is a typical karst giant cave system composed of Datianqiao, Xiaotianqiao, and Dawang Cave, forming a 'T'-shaped structure. The main passage is 2200 meters long, with a total area of over 100,000 square meters. Inside the cave, there are various spectacular stalactites that have taken millions of years to form, earning it the nickname 'King of Caves'
The ticket price for the scenic area is 75, and the uphill cable car is 70, taking about 20 minutes to ascend the mountain. The cable car is open-air, so those who are afraid of heights, beware. The route is designed to take visitors up and then through the cave without retracing their steps, which is well planned. After getting off the cable car, you have to walk almost a kilometer to reach the cave entrance. Those who want to experience it can take the ride; the scenery in southern Anhui is quite nice. If you don't want to take the cable car, you can also walk up the mountain, chatting and laughing with a few friends, and you'll get there quickly.
Dawang Cave is huge, and it takes about two hours to stroll around leisurely. It's still a bit cold inside the cave during Labor Day, so remember to bring an extra coat. Not far after entering, there's a drifting kayak you can play with, 40 per person, the kind you paddle by hand. When you're on it, water droplets from the stalactites above may fall on you. The staff say you can directly drift to the bottom of the cave, but it's actually quite short. The cave is cool and a bit damp and slippery, so it's recommended to wear non-slip shoes and be careful not to fall. Some stalactites are very large and almost reach the ground, so watch your step and don't bump your head. Don't ask! Ask and it's because I bumped my head
After exiting the cave, there will be people selling photos taken inside the cave, 30 with a frame and 20 without. I didn't buy one but was given a small photo as a phone charm, which is quite nice. OO In conversation, the staff mentioned that being on duty alone can be a bit scary
There are too few people in the mountainous area, and everywhere is covered with moss, which can indeed be scary, haha. Dawang Cave is really big and long, and some areas are not well lit, which can be a bit frightening when alone and the long walk can become tedious and boring. It is recommended that visitors come in larger groups for a more enjoyable experience. The mountains and waters are all quite similar, so lowering your expectations can make the trip more fun~
