Trip to Zhashui Karst Cave (part 2)

Location: Zhashui Karst Cave, Shangluo, Shaanxi, China Tour fee: ~ 230¥ Date: May 1, 2022 As you know we went to this cave with a tour agency, because it’s very far from Xi’an. When we got there, the administration of the area told us that they would like to take videos and photos of us (they wanted to use this for advertisement), and instead they would provide all inclusive service for free. Can you imagine how happy and surprised we were? First we went through the tunnel and then this wonderful scenery opened in front of us. There was a glass bridge, which was so amazing. It was the first time I was standing on it, so I had different feelings. As it wasn’t so long and high, I wasn’t afraid, only a bit)) If you have acrophobia (a fear of heights), don’t be afraid and walk on the bridge. This will help you overcome your fear. When you look around and see stunning nature, all your fear escapes:) #shangluo #zhashui #cave #tunnel #glassbridge #adrenaline #trip #natur

Trip to Zhashui Carst Cave (part 3)

Location: Zhashui Karst Cave, Shangluo, Shaanxi, China Tour fee: ~ 230¥ Date: May 1, 2022 The next thing that you need to do here is to walk on the rope bridge and look around. (We went through a small colorful tunnel, took the elevator and got to this great place.) When I was walking on it, it seemed endless.😂 It was very long and all the time I was holding the rope with my hands (as I had a fear of high places). When I reached to the end, I couldn’t feel my arms. All in all it was great. I just wanted to avoid my fear, and maybe 30% I succeeded. If you want to get some adrenaline and enjoy this view, then this is the best place for you. Don’t hesitate to go there. #shangluo #zhashui #cave #bridge #ropebridge #nature #adrenaline

Trip to Zhashui Karst Cave (part 1)

Location: Zhashui Karst Cave, Shangluo, Shaanxi, China Tour fee: ~ 230¥ Date: May 1, 2022 Zhashui Karst Cave is about 80km far from Xi’an. As it’s far from Xi’an city, you need to take a taxi or go there with a tour agency. We chose the 2nd one and it was a great idea. I went there with my friends:) For the tour we paid about 230¥, which included 2 scenic area’s entrance tickets, the elevator’s ticket and the tour from Xian to Shangluo. This Cave was so stunning. The colorful lights made the cave more and more remarkable. The workers were telling us interesting stories about the cave, but everything was in Chinese. Luckily one of my friends’ Chinese was better than mine, so she was translating for us:) When you go out from the cave, you can see the Buddha statue, which is just amazing. #shangluo #zhashui #cave #colorful #tour #touristattraction #attraction #niceview #bucketlist

A Heavenly Abode - Zhashui Karst Cave National Geopark

Zhashui Karst Cave: It is a 2-hour drive from Xi'an to reach the Zhashui Karst Cave National Geopark. Zhashui Karst Cave is a national 4A-level scenic spot, with an admission ticket priced at 102 yuan. Visitors have the option to enter the karst cave via an elevator or by foot! The rafting is also fantastic. We chose to walk up the mountain, first heading towards the ancient trail. The staircase, made of stone steps and wooden steps, leads to the middle section where you'll encounter a glass skywalk. Continuing forward, you'll reach a glass bridge with a section covered with green mats, which is suitable for those who are afraid of heights. Upon reaching the ancient trail post, there are amusement facilities (aerial spaceship, zip line, etc.), and at 12:30 there is a performance, including an aerial bicycle and tightrope walking. For descending the mountain, you can choose the glass slide for 30 yuan per person (about 3-5 minutes), or after walking a distance, take the children for a small train ride down the mountain (about 8 minutes). The train ride features short segments from the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, which are quite interesting and enjoyable. The train goes directly to the foot of the mountain. Before climbing the mountain towards the cave entrance (about 15 minutes), it is relatively more tiring to climb the stairs due to the uneven heights and the slight slipperiness after the rain (remember to be safe). The scenery inside the cave is beautiful, with stalactites in various shapes and the lighting design adds a colorful and dazzling effect. PS: ⚠️ (Remember to bring clothes for children, as the temperature difference inside and outside the cave is significant, to prevent catching a cold). After exiting the cave, there is a slide that goes directly to the foot of the mountain, and tired friends can choose this option for 30 yuan per person. Zhashui Karst Cave is surrounded by lush mountains and clear waters, with pleasant scenery and fresh air, making it a very relaxing destination.

Do not want to go to the hot weather of the Dragon Boat Festival, drive to the waters around Xi'an to avoid the heat. It took only one and a half hours to drive in. I ate a meat crumb and a cool skin in Surabaya, and I was satisfied with the cave. The cave is spectacular and large. Especially in the second half of the trip, the trip is spectacular. Many stalactites pour down from the top of a tens of meters high like a waterfall. With the colorful lights, the effect is very good. The temperature inside the cave is only about a dozen degrees, which is particularly cool and comfortable. When the baby entered the hole, she began to sleep, which led me to transform the photographer from the portrait mode to the landscape mode. You said that it is so difficult to be a traveler baby, can't you sleep well in the car? The place to look good is to start sleeping. Your old father is very helpless.
