The Tenglong Cave, a masterpiece of nature.

📍Attraction address: Tenglong Cave is a 5A national scenic spot located in Lichuan City, a border city in southwestern Hubei. It is located at the intersection of Daba Mountain and Wulingyuan, the source of the Qingjiang River. It is the largest karst cave in China and ranks seventh among the longest caves in the world. It is one of the world's top caves. It is composed of water caves, dry caves, catfish caves, cool wind caves, Dujiazhai and three dragon gates, and Huaxian Pit. The entire Tenglong Cave group has five layers, with more than 300 large and small branch caves. 🎟️Ticket information: I booked an e-ticket on the website in advance for CNY 162 per person. It was very smooth to scan the code to enter the park. The ticket includes the scenic spot transportation fee (here it refers to the shuttle bus to the scenic spot transfer gate, and you still need to pay for the battery car in the cave). There are many places at the entrance to sell or rent clothes. The shawl is rented for CNY 20 without time limit, and the deposit is CNY 50. If you want to buy a shawl, it costs CNY 75, and knee pads are also sold for CNY 15. (I wore a sun protection shirt and ice sleeves, and only felt cool, not so cold, so I didn't need to buy extra. If you are afraid of the cold, you can bring a long-sleeved shirt in advance) 👉Recommended itinerary: Tenglong Cave Visitor Center → Scenic spot transportation (self-driving can go directly to the entrance) → Tenglong Cave entrance → Tenglong Waterfall → Main cave entrance (you can take a photo of the hot air balloon machine) → Battery car in the cave → Rear cave (it takes about 40 minutes to walk all the way, you can watch the laser show) → Battery car returns to the performance 300m from the cave entrance (Tujia ethnic group scene drama "Yishui Lichuan") → Walk back to the front cave entrance → Scenic spot transportation returns to the visitor center The laser show has average reviews online, and I missed the time when I went. I think the Tujia ethnic group's performance is quite distinctive, with a duration of 1 hour. The specific performance time is subject to the on-site situation. Other self-funded projects in the scenic spot are not recommended. 🛎Travel tips Be sure to wear long sleeves and long pants, the temperature in the cave is 12-16 degrees. Wear dark pants and flat shoes, don't wear white shoes, the cave is very muddy after walking around, it will be very dirty.

Summer Retreat - Liuchuan, a Cool City 🏞️

A Summer Retreat: Liuchuan's Cool City 🌬️ In my leisure time, I followed a good friend back to her hometown and experienced the true charm of this cool city, with an average temperature of around 24 degrees Celsius. It was delightful to not need fans or air conditioning, and even having to cover up with a blanket at night! 😌 We visited Tenglong Cave, the largest cave in Asia, where it was incredibly cool inside. It's best to wear more layers and travel shoes when entering, as the cold can be quite intense. The sightseeing car inside costs 10 yuan per person, which is quite a bargain. 🚗 We also went to the top of a mountain called Ganxi Mountain, where there was an outdoor bar. From there, we could see the entire Liuchuan city. Sitting on the mountaintop, overlooking the city with a gentle breeze on our faces and sipping tea, it was undoubtedly one of the best moments in life! 🍵 #SummerTravelDestination #HiddenGemCity #MyLifeFirst 🌟

Where to go on the weekend? Tenglong Cave

📍Attraction Address: Tenglong Cave, Lichuan, Enshi Prefecture 🚗Transportation: It is not recommended to drive from Chongqing, the high-speed train costs 80-86 yuan and takes 2 hours. After arriving at Lichuan Station, it takes only a few minutes by taxi to reach the cave, which is very convenient. It is recommended to buy tickets on Ctrip, which include round-trip shuttle bus tickets for 162 yuan. You don't need to pick up the tickets; you can directly swipe your ID card (take the high-speed train to Lichuan at 8 am, arrive at Tenglong Cave at 10:30 am, play for about 4 hours, then find a local restaurant for lunch around 2:30 pm, rest a bit, and you can return around 5 pm, making it a very fulfilling trip). Food: The taste is similar to Chongqing, no need to specifically look for local specialties. 👍️Must-visit attraction: The cave is really big and worth seeing. The song and dance performances inside are very good. It is no exaggeration to say that if the song and dance performances were sold separately, I think 80 yuan would be worth it. 🎟️Ticket Information: 162 yuan includes entrance ticket, round-trip shuttle bus, free stage performances (many Tujia cultural shows), and laser show (10 minutes). Other optional expenses: There is a helicopter experience (quite expensive) and a hot air balloon experience (100 yuan for children, 140 yuan for adults, 5 minutes) when entering the cave. There are also 2 shuttle buses inside (10 yuan per person, which I think is unnecessary). Bring some food with you as prices inside the scenic area are somewhat inflated. There is also a flying carpet (25 yuan per person) and an aerial rafting (50-70 yuan per person) after coming out.

This performance not only made us feel the charm of technology but also deepened our respect for the ingenious workmanship of nature. Next, we came to the Yishui Lichuan song and dance performance area. With the Tujia culture as the background, integrating lasers, spherical screens, water shows, fountains, and other elements, we were presented with a magnificent audio-visual feast. From the ancient legends of Bamanzi to the local customs of crying at weddings and 'Meat Connection', from the Dragon Boat tune to the primitive singing of Sa'erhe, each program made us feel the unique charm of Tujia culture. After playing in the cave for three hours, we left Tenglong Cave reluctantly. Looking back at the towering cave entrance and the mysterious caves, we couldn't help but marvel at the magic and greatness of nature. This trip not only allowed us to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Tenglong Cave and the unique charm of Tujia culture but also filled us with awe and gratitude towards nature.
