The first encounter, traveling on water underground!
🌟 This is an amazing adventure spot—Qingzhen Shilong Cave! This place is simply fantastic, a masterpiece of nature, with every corner being awe-inspiring.
🚗 I remember that day, our group drove through winding mountain roads and finally arrived at this mysterious place. At that moment, I felt like I had traveled to another world, with breathtaking sights everywhere.
🏞️ Qingzhen Shilong Cave is located among the mountains of Guizhou and is an undeveloped water-soluble cave, retaining its original natural appearance. Here, you can find various stalactites, crystal-clear underground pools, and a forest of stalactites that have formed over tens of thousands of years, interspersed with complex underground rivers. Entering Shilong Cave is like stepping into the world of 'The Lost Tomb'.
📍 Location: Shilong Cave is located in Qingzhen City, Guizhou Province, about an hour's drive from Guiyang.
🚌 Transportation Guide:
🚌 Public transportation: You can take a long-distance bus from Guiyang to Qingzhen City, then transfer to a local bus or take a taxi directly to the scenic spot.
🚗 If you are driving, follow the Guihuang Expressway, and after exiting at Qingzhen, follow the road signs to find it.
🚌 Of course, if you want to save trouble, you can also choose a group tour, which provides professional transportation, making it very convenient. (The best choice)
🏞️ Our play points:
📸 Upon entering Shilong Cave, we were first guided to the underground pool, where there is a photo spot. The water lamps illuminate the water surface, making it feel like being in a fairyland.
🚣♂️ Next, we experienced the paddleboarding project in the cave, paddling through the narrow cave while listening to the sound of flowing water. The feeling of tranquility and mystery intertwined is truly unforgettable.
👨🏫 Then, under the guidance of the tour guide, we visited the stone pillars, stalagmites, and stalactites inside the cave, as well as the legendary Lantern Stone, which was truly breathtaking.

🏠 Accommodation Guide 🏠
🛏️ There are several small towns nearby offering accommodation options, from budget hotels to unique homestays. You can choose according to your budget and preferences.
🌙 We chose a small inn not far from the scenic spot, with a quiet and comfortable environment. At night, you can hear the sound of insects in the distant mountains, which is quite pleasant.

🍲 There are many specialty snack shops nearby. I recommend trying the local Miao sour soup fish and Qian-style spicy chicken. The taste is authentic and worth a try.
💡 Tips 💡
🦺 Be sure to wear a life jacket before entering the cave, even if you can swim, for safety.
🧥 The temperature inside the cave is low, so it is recommended to bring a jacket or light sweater.
🎒 Remember to bring a waterproof backpack and phone waterproof bag to avoid getting valuable items wet.
👟 It is best to wear water shoes or non-slip shoes to avoid slipping.
📸 If you want to take photos, remember to bring lighting equipment, as the cave is dimly lit.
🌿 Protect the cave environment, do not take anything, do not damage the growths, and do not pollute the water source.
