User Reviews

☀The one-day tour of Shilin Jiuxiang booked online was 369 per person, with no hidden costs. I felt that the one-day tour was quite convenient, with a car to pick us up throughout the trip, and the tour guide also helped to get a car to take us to the meeting point one day in advance.



☀Visit Shilin in the morning and Jiuxiang in the afternoon. The afternoon will be a bit harder, mainly because you have to climb up from the lowest point in the end, a total of more than 300 steps, which will take away half of your life.



☀First, take a cruise to see Yincui Gorge, and then visit four caves in turn. Among them, you have to walk back to the Goddess Palace, but it is not very high and can be reached in a few minutes. It is very beautiful inside, and the stalactites are illuminated with various shapes.



☀There are free photo spots at Kanda and the Shiseido Falls. One person can take a photo at each place. The free photos are two-inch photos, and the large photos are 20 yuan each. There are also two photo spots at the cable car on the way back, but they cost money. Two photos are 30 yuan, one is 20 yuan, and the plastic-sealed photos are 5 yuan each. That's about it~



🎀Yiling Jiuxiang Scenic Area is located in the mountainous area with a cool climate. The area is full of peaks and ridges, with a relative height difference of about 200 meters between the peaks and valleys. The surface altitude is between 1750 and 1900 meters, and the terrain is not very undulating. It shows the young and juvenile river landform landscape with rising terrain in the karst cave distribution area and river cutting and erosion.



🎀Jiuxiang is densely forested, with a coverage rate of 62.3%, and rich in precious animal and plant resources. The Zhangkoudong ancient human settlement site represents a unique Paleolithic culture in southern my country and is known as "a unique place in Jiuxiang".

Jiuxiang Scenic Area is located in Jiuxiang Yi and Hui Township, Yiling County, 90 kilometers away from Kunming and 47 kilometers away from Yiling County. The scenic area is dominated by cave landscapes and is famous for its six unique wonders. The first is the terraced fields with layers of clear water, the second is the male and female waterfalls in the cave with a drop of more than 30 meters, the third is the natural bridge across the 200-meter-high cliff, the fourth is the hall-style karst cave lion hall, the fifth is the Jinghun Gorge with a cliff height of more than 80 meters, and the sixth is the Yincui Gorge, the "first secluded gorge in central Yunnan". The Diehong Bridge, Dashaba, Sanjiao Cave, Alulong, Mingyue Lake and other scenic spots have been planned and constructed.

By Bai Xubo |

When I first heard the name, I thought it was a place similar to a minority village. In fact, it can be summarized as a karst landform landscape of "underground river + cave". Moreover, compared with other tiankengs, caves, etc. that I have visited before, this place better shows an "ongoing" formation process.

The entire scenic area is divided into three stages: the first stage is the boat rafting on the ground, which is also the place with the highest altitude. The small stream for rafting is blocked by a small dam. The rocks on both sides are very narrow because this stream was originally eroded underground and was only seen again because the rocks on the top collapsed.

The second stage is to follow the stream down to a place deeper underground called the "Hall of Lions", so named because one of the rocks looks like a lion, but the biggest highlight is the large size of the place, so some scenes of "The Myth" were also shot here.

The third stage is further cutting, so you can see many pure "cave" type landscapes here, but there is also a layered landscape like terraces that is extremely rare in the country.

Jiuxiang is worth a visit. The cave is very beautiful. It is big and the stalactites are long and thin like the stone forest. After the boat ride, there is a fork in the road after Panhong Bridge. The tour guide said that the road is high and shaky, and it is recommended that the elderly and children should not go. But it is not bad, and we did not walk far. The stalactites are very beautiful, and you can see blind fish. It is the first time I have seen fish without eyes, which is really amazing. Going further back, you can see the filming location of "Myth", the male and female double waterfalls. Walking along the trail, I feel that this cave is suitable for the tomb of ancient emperors.

By J_13 |

Jiuxiang Cave, the stalactites in various shapes are truly magnificent, some are terraced, some are waterfall-shaped, and so on. It can be seen that this attraction is a popular check-in destination for tourists visiting Kunming. Tourists came in an endless stream, and we just followed the crowd. Sometimes we wanted to stop to take a picture, but the tourists behind us kept urging us.

By Martian User |

If you don't visit Jiuxiang, you've come to Yunnan in vain. This slogan is very profound. As the first stop of my Yunnan trip, Jiuxiang didn't give me too many surprises, but it didn't disappoint me either. It also has a unique flavor!

By xy zero experience |

There is a widely circulated saying in Yunnan: See the Stone Forest on the ground and tour Jiuxiang underground.

Although the transportation from Kunming to Shilin is more convenient than Jiuxiang, I still think it is more interesting to visit the caves without joining a tour group.

Lover's Valley is the first scenic spot after entering the scenic area, and you need to take a boat to visit it, so the impression is quite deep. The other scenic spots are composed of large and small caves connected together, so in general it is still worth a visit, worthy of being the filming location of "Myth".

By ℒℴѵℯ💋Qian |

It was a pleasant trip, and every scenery was pleasing to the eyes.

By Han Feihome |

The ochre-red rock walls and the emerald green streams complement each other.

Similar to the tiankeng and fissure in Wulong, Chongqing, there is an elevator built against the rock that goes directly to the bottom of the valley.

On the left is a boating trip on a mirror-like, quiet and secluded stream.

On the right is a waterfall cave with roaring waterfalls and winding plank paths.

Jiulong Waterfall, it's quite big and takes a long time to walk, the negative ions are good

By Waxing Crescent Moon |

Jiuxiang Forest is the most typical karst landform in the world. The big stone forest and dangerous Jiuxiang Cave are world wonders. The mechanism of its formation is due to the strong karst action. Here, the huge cave and cave system is the result of surface water and groundwater dissolving carbonate rocks, and the colorful calcified accumulation in the cave is the crystallization of calcium carbonate precipitation accumulation in groundwater. There are large areas of carbonate rock formations around Jiuxiang, which were formed in the Sinian period about 600 million years ago. Carbonate houses are distributed in Jiuxiang Maitianhe and Jiuxiang, covering an area of ​​about 100 square kilometers. Since the Cenozoic Era (65 million years ago), the Yunnan Plateau has been continuously lifted up with the rise of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The Nanpanjiang River has cut the eastern Yunnan Plateau and formed the Nanpanjiang Gorge. The first-level branch of the Nanpanjiang River, the Suomai River, cuts deep and cuts through the area of ​​Jiuxiang. Under the combined action of the powerful earth water flow and groundwater flow, the strange, majestic and spectacular karst cave group and Jiuxiang Yincui Gorge in Jiuxiang are formed. During the intermittent uplift of the earth's crust, the landform of Jiuxiang evolved into a multi-layer karst cave system, creating its huge and unique cave system.

Do you know the name of the calligrapher in the scenic area?

By Big Bad Wolf |

It is a national key scenic spot with caves as the main attraction.

By Know Autumn |

It’s right next to my home, so I’ve never been there. The cave must be pretty good!

By Snow White |

At the Jiuxiang Tourist Area in Kunming, I visited the karst caves, where the landforms are unique and the shapes are strange. Some caves look like Guanyin Bodhisattva, some like Sun Wukong, some like Tang Monk, and some like Sha Seng and Zhu Bajie. Zhu Bajie was drooling at the roast duck above his head; there was also the Magpie Bridge, where the Cowherd was looking at the Weaver Girl in the distance with his child on his back.

By Inexplicable |

After visiting the Jiuxiang Cave, you will find that the dragon caves in other places are weak. It is really super beautiful. The bridge inside is particularly fairy-like. It is a very good sculpture work of nature. Recommended to everyone.

By Doraemon is Peppa Pig |

There are two main attractions in the scenic area. The canyon cruise takes about 10 minutes, and the cave landscape is combined with 3D picture projection. The caves have been seen in other places and feel the same, nothing special.

By simon |

The cave in the suburbs of Kunming, the filming location of the movie Myth

By Sleeping penguin |

The scenic spot is average, look at the cave, Jackie Chan slid down this waterfall in the myth

By MIKA |

The scenery is still good, but the last 300 steps are a bit tiring to climb. If you don't take the cable car, it's said that it takes half an hour to walk to the exit.

By Hey ha |

Jiuxiang has many natural caves, which are lit with colorful lights and look very nice. When you first enter Jiuxiang, you should take a boat ride (the fee is included in the ticket). It only takes about 3 or 4 minutes, just to let tourists feel the canyon from below. After that, you can hike to the Jiuxiang caves (there are several), walk to the top and take the cable car down. (I have to sigh, the last few hundred steps up are really tiring)

By Strive to be the best |

The cave is famous because of the movie myth. I personally think it is similar to the Benxi Water Cave, but one is more realistic to see by boat, while the other is more realistic to see by walking. It is a non-renewable resource, so it is still worth seeing for friends who haven't seen it.

By Hemerocallis |

Jiuxiang Scenic Area is very large and worth a visit. Just keep walking along the road, but there are too many stairs.

The wonders of nature are quite spectacular.

It was the rainy season and high tide, and the sound of water in the cave was like a tiger's roar, which made people feel awe.

By mango |

To enter the scenic area, you need to take a boat to experience the Grand Canyon, and then start to enter the Jiuxiang Cave, which is very dreamy with the lights.

By The young aunt of the young master's family |

I personally feel that Jiuxiang is more worthwhile to spend more time than Shilin, because it has mountains, water and underground caves, while Shilin is relatively boring, but it is said that foreigners prefer Shilin. Jiuxiang has caves, waterfalls, canyons..., cruise ships, cable cars..., and the ticket price is nearly half cheaper than Shilin.

By ZJ Sun God |

Jiuxiang Scenic Area is mainly composed of caves. There is a short rafting trip. Finally, take a small cable car out of the scenic area. It is quite fun. After the boat rafting, we started to walk into the canyon to see the caves. There are strange rocks and caves with the word Jiuxiang on them. The scenery along the way, the scenery in the cave, and the fish with eyes in the canyon stream.

By Free travel around the world |

When you step into the Jiuxiang Karst Cave in Hunan, it feels like you have entered a dream world. The beautiful scenery in front of you will dazzle you and make you sigh at the wonders of nature. Friends, come here if you have the chance, the scenery here will definitely open your eyes!

By Dean |

After hundreds of millions of years of geological changes, various special rock formations, stalactites, cloud basins and caves have been formed underground. (Too many professional terms, I am at a loss for words, haha) Under the reflection of the lights, they look amazing, with deep canyons, roaring waterfalls and mysterious underground rivers. By the way, this is also the location of the underground palace in "Myth".

By Heartberry |

The cableway ticket is 30 yuan per person. Jiuxiang Scenic Area is characterized by caves. The rare underground caves with stalactites are colorful. I also saw the filming location of the movie "Myth" with my own eyes. The caves formed over 600 million years have witnessed the uncanny work of nature. The caves are full of light and color, which is a miracle.

By Happy every day |

I hadn't heard of it before I went there, but it's mainly about the caves and underground rivers, which are magnificent and worth a visit.

An ordinary stone, if a celebrity writes something on it, it is no longer an ordinary stone. Its value will increase and it will become a small tourist attraction.

By Number16 |

A pleasant surprise during the trip. The main feature of this place is the cave. After being exposed to the sun for most of the day, the cave became much cooler and more comfortable. The entire cave is illuminated by light of various colors, which looks particularly dazzling under the reflection of the light. Being in the cave is like being in the world of martial arts.

The Lion Hall, this scene looks very familiar. If you practice here, you can lead the entire martial arts world. This is the largest underground square hall in the world, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people...

The Goddess Palace is a typical representative of karst underground scenery. The stalactites are exquisite and have different shapes. Under the rendering of various lights, it is like a fairyland... After coming out of the Goddess Palace, go to the male and female waterfalls, the most famous attraction in the scenic area. Jackie Chan and Kim Hee-sun's "Myth" was filmed here... The male and female waterfalls can hear a very loud waterfall sound from a long distance, but it is really difficult to take a very shocking effect with a mobile phone. There is a pit here. Someone in the scenic area arranges to take pictures, claiming that it is free, and tells you that you don’t need to take pictures. They take pictures for you, but it costs 20 yuan to get a clear photo. They give you a bookmark with a very small head on the bookmark. The picture quality is so bad that you can’t even see the face. This is the first time I have encountered such a deep routine... Kanda, the terraced fields created by God, is a rare wonder in the world and is praised by international cave experts as the best in the world.

Compared to Shilin, Jiuxiang is more delightful... "If you don't visit Jiuxiang, your trip to Yunnan is in vain." Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, Jiuxiang is indeed worth a visit.

By Hero Liu |

I just like caves. It was raining outside. We took shelter in the cave, listening to the sound of water, it was cozy! It's a bit like the Wu Gorge in the Three Gorges, with green mountains on both sides and picturesque peaks. Unfortunately, it rained every day and the river water was not beautiful. The scenery of each cave is similar, there are not so many tourists, and the experience is very comfortable. The one that impressed me the most was the "Male and Female Waterfall" where Jackie Chan filmed the movie.

By Yamanami Junior High School |

The most beautiful cave in Yunnan, with mountains, water, scenery, the souls of ancient people and delicious roast duck.

By Daqi 💋 |

Jiuxiang Scenic Area takes about three or four hours, both climbing and descending the mountain, which is very physically demanding. It is recommended to travel light and not take too much water. The scenic area will give you a bottle of water, which is also a very humane service.

By Star Wish |

To go to Jiuxiang, you need to take a bus from Kunming East Bus Station to Yiling, and then take a bus from Yiling to Jiuxiang. The whole journey takes about two hours. Enter Jiuxiang Scenic Area, queue up for a boat, visit Yincui Lake, visit the cave, and finally take the cable car down.

By Liu Liping |

The 600 million-year-old karst cave is a masterpiece of nature, breathtaking! It is magnificent and magnificent, and I admire the beautiful mountains and rivers! However, the karst cave is full of colorful spotlights, which feels gaudy and destroys the natural beauty of nature. But I saw many people praising the "colorful lights"... Hey! I won't say anything, probably because of the colorful aesthetics of the people of colorful Yunnan!

By Xiaobei loves traveling |

We went there from Dibeichunman in Guandu Ancient Town. It was very shocking when we rowed through the canyon, as if we were really traveling through time. Once we entered, it would be another world. The cave is still very unique.

By Pan D |

Jiuxiang is a Yi and Hui township in Yiliang County. On the way here, the tour guide said that the name comes from the administrative division. I didn't know much about Jiuxiang before, but it is a national geological park, a member of the International Speleological Association, and a national 4A scenic spot. In addition, many movies and TV series have been filmed here, including "The Matrix" starring Daniel Wu, "New Journey to the West", "Tathagata Palm", etc. The most famous one should be Jackie Chan's "Myth", in which the cave waterfall scenes were almost all filmed in Jiuxiang. In addition, Jackie Chan's "Little Big Soldier" was also filmed here. It seems that Jiuxiang is very much loved by Jackie Chan.

The ticket price for Jiuxiang is 90 per person, plus a 30 cableway fee. There are also free boat rides in Yincui Gorge, all of which are included in the ticket price. I just felt that Jiuxiang has more tourists than Shilin! Most of them are local tourists from Yunnan, including many local ethnic tourists with very special costumes.

By Chatty Banana |

Jiuxiang Scenic Area is mainly for seeing the karst caves. Climbing up and down inside is very tiring, especially the last few thousand meters out of the cave. The whole way is uphill with stairs, and you will doubt your life... But bee friends with poor physical strength or inconvenient legs and feet don’t have to worry. There are sedan bearers in the last section who can carry you out. If I remember correctly, the journey takes more than ten minutes and costs more than 100 yuan. Generally speaking, Jiuxiang is more interesting than Shilin. It shuttles between the cracks in the canyon rocks. The whole karst cave is colorful and beautiful.

By China-TravelNote users |

The traffic is really inconvenient, and the road conditions from Yiliang to Jiuxiang are not very good. We set off from Kunming Railway Station at 7:20 and arrived at the scenic spot at 11:30. We originally wanted to go all the way to Stone Forest, but we gave up the Stone Forest when we saw that we were running out of time. The scenery is still very good. The dry forest in the north is already blooming in spring. The cold wind blew on the bus on the way back.

By fable |

The traffic is very inconvenient, but the scenery is very good and worth a visit.

By Summer Curls |

The most worthwhile places to visit are Yincuixia and Shennv Palace, both of which are very beautiful, especially the stalactites in the Shennv Palace Cave, which are so shocking!

By 920 Travel Around the World |

Walking into the cave, the cool air hits you, the ground is wet, and the sound of rushing water is endless. Springs gush out from high places, forming large springs or even waterfalls or waterfall groups from time to time. It's beautiful! We take the cable car up the stream, and then walk and watch Guan Nixi go down...

By Morning Light |

As a unique cave scenic spot in Yunnan, the scenery inside and outside the cave is extraordinary, and its waterfalls, tiankengs, streams and other scenery are all very good.

By Tourbillon |

I have been to many caves, but the caves in Jiuxiang Scenic Area left a deep impression on me. It is 90 kilometers away from the provincial capital Kunming and 30 kilometers away from the famous Stone Forest Scenic Area. It is a comprehensive scenic spot with cave landscape as the main body, natural scenery outside the cave, cultural landscape and ethnic customs. It is the largest and most numerous cave community system with the most unique cave landscape in China. It is praised by experts as the "Cave Museum". If you are interested in photography, remember to bring a tripod to capture those magnificent and shocking landscapes.

The ground inside the cave is generally slippery, so please pay attention to safety.

Ticket price: 90 yuan/adult

It only takes 40 minutes to get from Kunming to Yiling. There are buses to Yiling at Kunming East Bus Station, so it is most convenient to drive by yourself.

By pliers pliers |

Nice view

There are lush green trees everywhere

There are all kinds of snacks and souvenir stalls at the entrance. The cave runs through a mountain, and the engineering inside is spectacular.

We went a little late, it's time to get off work

The scenery in the cave is really amazing

See the wonders of nature

Stalactites all over the view

Let us be amazed

By Haoxiang Travel |

Jiuxiang is really worth visiting. The scenery is pleasant. There are karst caves and underground stones inside. Enter from the entrance and take the sightseeing elevator down to the bottom of the valley. Then you can start a new day of travel. It is very large and takes at least 2 hours to visit.

By Anita Wei |

Jiuxiang needs a whole day to play. The karst caves are very beautiful and really big! It is huge. Sometimes it is a staircase going up the mountain, and then it becomes a staircase going down the mountain, entering the canyon, and then climbing to the peak, and finally taking the cable car down. It is not recommended for the elderly to go there, it is really too much tossing. It is very tiring to climb! Unless you are prepared to spend money and let the sedan bearers carry you, otherwise the last part of the cave is simply... I can't see the end at a glance, I am desperate! But the scenery is really beautiful! It is worth going

Grand Canyon Cave Waterfall Very Beautiful Scenic Spot

By Travel on a whim |

The scenery of Jiuxiang is so beautiful that it can only be described in two words.

By Southern Black Bean |

There were so many people that I couldn't get on the cable car even after queuing for 20 minutes. I gave up and walked down the mountain. As the filming location of the myth movie, I still wanted to take a look. In addition to the cave, Jiuxiang also has a cenote and a cruise ship. As the largest cave in China, you really need some physical strength to go there.

By Picking girl's mushrooms |

The recommended scenic spot is mainly karst caves and underground rivers. It is recommended to buy a return cable car. Note that if you take the slide, the fee is 90 yuan, but the person carrying the sedan chair will ask for 100 yuan in the middle of the journey, and the 10 yuan will not be returned at the end of the bill, so the cost of the slide is 200 yuan per person, but I think it is worth it, because it is really tiring and not easy. When you come out of the slide, there will be people looking at you, which is quite comfortable. The scenic spot takes about 2 hours to play.

By Facing a Broken Heart |

The main attraction is the cave, a small waterfall in the cave, and a sightseeing cable car.

By Iceberg Visitor |

Even the people in the scenic area didn’t notice the aliens in Jiuxiang!

By Winter velvet flowers |

The whole is a karst cave scenic spot, very spectacular, nice!

By Trailblazer |

There are caves and the price is not expensive. But it is not convenient to change buses several times. You need to leave Kunming early in the morning.

By superyan |

Take a bus from Kunming East Bus Station to Yiliang for 25 yuan. Then take a minibus from Yiliang to Jiuxiang Scenic Area for 10 yuan. The whole journey takes about 3 hours. The scenery of the scenic area is very beautiful, with waterfalls, caves and stalactites perfectly combined. The whole journey takes about 3 hours. The ticket price is 90 yuan and the cable car is 30 yuan.

By Sulo |

If you don't come to Jiuxiang, you'll have wasted your trip to Kunming. It's a very beautiful scenic spot, and the elderly in my family also like it very much.

By Soft |

For self-driving tourists, a long bumpy road will really affect their mood. I hope this will be improved soon.

By sirius |

I like this place very much. It's the first time I see such a spectacular underground river. Unfortunately, the water is too big to make a boat.

By helen |

It was too much hassle to transfer from Kunming to this attraction. It took 2 hours to visit. The design of the scenic area is quite good, and you don't have to go back and forth. When we went there, there was too much rain this year, so the boat was stopped. The Kanda inside was quite spectacular. The effect could not be captured by the mobile phone. The male and female waterfalls have a large amount of water and are quite beautiful.

By Mingyueji |

Jiuxiang is quite beautiful.

Jiuxiang Tourist Service Center can store luggage for free ~ pretty good

I bought the ticket online for 105 yuan, including the cableway. It's 120 yuan if I buy it on site. It's recommended to buy the cableway ticket unless you are very strong.

You need to climb up and down the stairs to enter the cave. The whole Jiuxiang tour takes about 2.5 hours.

It is very tiring to come out of the cave, especially the last section of climbing the stairs is super tiring, sweating profusely, you can consider taking a sedan chair. The cable car in Jiuxiang is actually semi-enclosed, so people with acrophobia should choose carefully~

By Junpeng |

I really recommend it! Compared with Shilin, Jiuxiang is much less crowded, but it is more worth seeing. The underground cave is very large. After entering, it is very interesting to explore. It is rare to have abundant water flow in the cave, and the waterfall in the cave is very impressive. It is the filming location of the movie Myth.

There are buses from Kunming East Bus Station to Yiling Bus Station, every eight minutes, 25 yuan/person, and the journey takes one hour. Then you can buy a bus to the scenic area from the bus station, 10 yuan/person, and the journey takes a little more than an hour. On the return trip, you can also take a bus back to Yiling Bus Station at the scenic area drop-off point. During this one-hour bus journey, there is a section that passes through Yiling Industrial Park. Many trucks pass by, and the dust is flying. The scenery along the way is not very good. On the way to the scenic area, you will wonder if it is worth sitting in the car for so long to see a cave, but after seeing it, I think it is worth the trip. It is worth seeing if you have free time, the cliffs, strange rocks and caves , the waterfall is rushing, it is a very shocking natural landscape, the movie Mythology and so on have also been filmed here, the whole tour process took an hour, there are many steps up and down, you need to wear a pair of non-slip and comfortable shoes, there are not too many stops at each scenic spot, it is normal to walk down, if it is slower, two and a half hours is enough, after coming out, I took a cable car with a relatively low safety level, there are no tall trees and deep valleys when I walked down halfway, and I regretted taking the cable car when the cable car stopped slowly 😂😂😂 The fish without eyes in the picture is a protected fish in the scenic area. In addition to these fish, there are many flying birds or bats in the cave? On the way back to Yiliang, it started to rain heavily again. It was luckier than going to Shilin. It didn't rain when visiting the scenic area. The Jiuxiang cave exploration trip ended in this rain curtain. The rain here is really urgent.

I signed up for a one-day tour of Shilin and Jiujiang. I originally planned to only go to Shilin, but I didn't expect Jiujiang to be so nice. Today was the most worthwhile day in Kunming. The Yunnan Nationalities Village and parks are not on the same level as Shilin and Jiujiang!

Jiuxiang Karst Cave: Developed in the Sinian Period 600 million years ago, it has hundreds of large and small karst caves. It is the largest, most numerous, and most unique cave community system in China, and is praised by experts as the "Kalst Cave Museum". There are ancient marine microbial fossils known as "prehistoric wonders" - stromatolites, inverted stone teeth, biological karst (also known as biological reef-building wonders), edge stone lakes, underground square halls, dark canyons, fish back stones, curled stones, vortex caves and other hydrogeological wonders, as well as typical sections and attractions such as three-dimensional layered caves and multi-layer cave landscapes. Some are rare sights in China, and some are examples that have never been seen in world geology textbooks, so they are highly praised by famous experts at home and abroad.

Most importantly, Jackie Chan's movies were shot here many times, so it is quite famous~~~

The karst geological park is a perfect blend of mountains, water and caves. It has a particularly beautiful karst cave landscape, which is very spectacular. One cannot help but sigh at the uncanny workmanship of nature!

Jiuxiang integrates karst cave landscapes, natural scenery outside the caves, cultural landscapes, and ethnic customs. It has hundreds of large and small karst caves and is known as the hometown of karst caves.

We went there by ourselves, not in a tour group. The bus fare from Kunming East Bus Station to Yiliang is 25 yuan, and the time is 1 hour. After arriving at Yiliang Bus Station, you can directly buy a bus ticket to Jiuxiang, which costs 10 yuan and takes 90 minutes to reach Jiuxiang Scenic Area. The full ticket price for the scenic area is 120 yuan per person (including the 30 yuan cable car fare out of the cave), of course, if you don't take the cable car, it is 90 yuan. Jiuxiang underground cave is very spectacular and it is worth a visit.

The wonders of nature are so beautiful! I made the right decision to come here! At first, I was still wondering whether I should come here or not! I made the right decision to come here! If I don’t come here, I will regret my trip to Yunnan!

I signed up for a one-day tour of Shilin Jiuxiang. It was OK. It was just a karst cave, similar to many scenic spots in the mountains of Zhejiang.

I went there during the National Day holiday in 2016. I took a bus to the Eastern Bus Station and bought a bus to Yiliang County for 25 yuan, which took about an hour to arrive. After arriving at the bus station in the county, I bought a bus to Jiuxiang for 10 yuan, which took about 50 minutes. The same thing happened on the return trip. There was a bus back to Yiliang at the entrance of the scenic area. The ticket price for Jiuxiang ranged from 72, 60, or 45 yuan. I forgot the exact price. The tour lasted about 2 and a half hours, and you can take a boat. The canyon was the filming location of "Little Big Soldier", and the cave was very beautiful under different lights.

A one-day tour of Jiuxiang from three northern men.

Roast duck is delicious. In the north, there is Quanjude, and in the south, there is Lan Lao Ya (at least that's what he said, hahaha). Roast duck at Xuecheng Restaurant is not expensive, 40 yuan, and sliced ​​duck is 98 yuan. Sliced ​​duck is not available until after 11.20.

It costs 25 yuan to take a bus from the East Station to Yiliang Passenger Transport Center, but 27 yuan to take a bus from Yiliang back to Kunming East Station. Similarly, it costs 10 yuan from Yiliang to the scenic area, but 15 yuan to come back. I don't quite understand their rule.

The cave is very beautiful and crowded. I didn't even take the boat. Except for the slightly cold water area, it was not cold at all! Because I had to walk up and down the stairs, I was sweating in my thick clothes. The lights were gorgeous, and many stalactites had strange names and stories (so good at making up stories, hahaha). The water area was very slippery, the waterfall was very turbulent, and there were many inscriptions on the stone walls. Finally, I waited for half an hour on the cable car. The cable car was relatively simple and open-top, but it was very cool.

The only thing that makes people feel very upset is that the urban-rural integration of Yiliang, Dongxiang, is invincible. The bus stopped by the side of the road. Hao Xin's long legs and Tao Ge's northeastern man's body can't fit in... It took us an hour and a half to reach the scenic area. People like us who travel independently (mainly to buy student tickets so we go to the scene to buy) can only buy tickets at the door now, half price 45. Buy the cable car ticket at the cable car, and the cable car ticket is 30, there is no student ticket. Walk around inside and take pictures, plus the time of the cable car, it can be finished in 3 hours.

The last bus back to Yiling was at six o'clock. I was lucky to have a seat. If I didn't have a seat, I would have to stand for an hour on the way back. It’s a bit scary just thinking about it.

We waited a long time for the last bus No. 22 to leave, but it drove very fast. I guess the driver wanted to get off work early.

By the way, the pineapples in the scenic area are very sweet and not expensive.

The scenic area is very large and some of the caves are very spectacular. They are worth a visit and are a masterpiece of nature.

The wonders of the cave are still fresh in my memory. You need to have enough physical strength to complete the whole journey.
