Cixiong waterfall. The small but beautiful underground waterfall in the second carst cave located in the Jiu Xiang or Nine Villages tourist scenic area, Jiu Xiang, Yiliang, not far away from Kunming city agglomeration, Yunnan province. The waterfall is located at the entrance of this cave. The fallen water produced mild noise in this silent cave in contrast to outside environment. Fallen water further going forward, therefore acting like a underground river and making the tunnel in the carst soil. Visitors are walking on the bridge and waterfall is just right side of the bridge. #nationalpark#hiking#naturalwonders

Yangzonghai Lake sleeps to wake up naturally, and then goes to the hot spring water world of the OCT in the lakeside. In addition to the hot springs, the water recreation project by the lake is more distinctive. The big horn is still quite exciting, I still can't challenge it, or the gentle wave pool is more suitable for me. Then in the afternoon, I continued driving from Yangzonghai for an hour to the Jiuxiang Scenic Area in Yiliang. The first time I came to Yiliang, I realized that roast duck is the most famous in the country. Jiuxiang Scenic Area is the shooting place of many movies, including my favorite "Myth", and "Big Soldier" have come here to take pictures. There is also a magical underground cave, which is really great. The key ticket is still so cheap, only 60 tickets including the ticket, really too conscience.

The caves and canyons that I have seen before are not as shocking as this one. At the top of the huge caves, like the dreamy starry sky, the rushing water at the bottom of the valley is surging in the darkness. There is a sense of fear, but even more amazing of the magical landscape of nature.

#familytrips2024 We had our family trip to Yunnan recently and one of the place we visited is the Jiuxiang scenic spot, where the whole area has naturally formed staglatite and stalacmites caves, formed several millions of years ago. At first we were brought to the small valley to take a boat across a very narrow stream , and we traveled across the inner cave to witness the magnificient cave. We are also able to witness the underground waterfall gushing from the ground, and the interior of the cave is extremely huge, able to accomodate hundreds of thousands of people. This spot is also the shooting area for many movies such as The Myth and Little General Big Soldier, and it is a worthwhile opportunity to visit here.

Jiuxiang scenic area is the direct translation of the area. When one enters the scenic area, you can do a mini cable seat ride uphill or you can opt to take horse ride up with small fees. I choose the But seat uphill. I do have to do a bit of hiking and climbing before reaching the actual caves. Some of the caves required extra efforts as the steps are steep and slippery . #bucketlistreboot
