Tenglong Cave

Tenglong Cave, a wonderful encounter with nature Hello everyone, today I want to recommend a great travel destination to you all—the Tenglong Cave in Lichuan, Enshi. If you are a friend who loves nature and enjoys adventure, then Tenglong Cave is definitely a treasure spot you can't miss! At 8:30 in the morning, with the sun shining brightly, my friends and I arrived at the Tenglong Cave scenic area on time. As soon as we entered the gate of the scenic area, we were shocked by the towering cave entrance in front of us. The entrance is 72 meters high and 64 meters wide, like a huge natural portal, inviting us into this mysterious underground world. Entering the cave, a cool breeze hits us, making us instantly forget the heat outside. The lighting inside the cave is dim, but enough for us to see the surroundings clearly. We first arrived at the water cave area, where dense forests grow on both sides, with waterfalls and undulating streams in the middle, and the sound of water roaring like a symphony of nature. Especially the 'Dragon Swallowing River' waterfall, with a drop of more than 20 meters and a surging water flow, is so powerful that it makes one marvel at the magic and grandeur of nature. After passing through the water cave, we came to the dry cave area. The height here reaches 235 meters, and the main cave is 52.8 kilometers long, like a huge underground labyrinth. We took an electric cart and shuttled between the caves, feeling the mystery and tranquility inside. Along the way, we saw various shapes of stalagmites, stone mantles, and stalactites, some crystal clear, some rough and bold, just like a fairyland on earth. In an open area inside the cave, we encountered a spectacular laser show. With the rhythm of the music, lasers danced in the cave, changing into various wonderful patterns and colors. 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. Finally, I want to remind everyone of a few travel tips: First, pay attention to safety after entering the cave, and do not venture at will; second, the temperature inside the cave is low, so it is recommended to bring a coat; third, the lighting inside the cave is dim, please watch your step; and lastly, please respect the local customs and cultural traditions.
