"Xanadu" by the West Lake
Lingshan Cave, also known as "Lingshan Wonderland", belongs to vertical layered limestone caves and is famous for its "tall, majestic, open and spectacular". The cave is high and deep, open and strange, with overlapping rings. The striking "Tianzhu Peak" is 24.5 meters high and 6 meters in diameter, covering an area of 12 square meters. 12 people are hard to surround. It is the first cave stalagmite in Asia and the second in the world.
The nearly 50-meter-long stepped stone pile constitutes the fun of climbing in the cave, which is rare in many karst cave landscapes in China. The opening of Xianqiao is Xianqiao, which is 280 meters away from Lingshan Cave. There are many strange rocks in the cave, and the terrain is dangerous. During the tour, you have to go up and down 18 times and bypass 36 bends, which is full of adventure interest and excitement, but tourists are never tired of it.
Between the dreamland of Lingshan and the other side of Xianqiao, there is also a "Lingshan Giant Buddha" with a kind face and blue sky and white clouds. There are more than 20 groups of huge musical instruments, which form a "drumming road". When you cross this hiking trail at the top of the mountain, you will feel that Lingshan is not only beautiful, but also has a warm scene.
In addition, there is an undeveloped natural mountain Dawu basin. It is surrounded by mountains, with quiet environment, lush trees and fresh air. Known as the "Xanadu" by the West Lake, Jiuqu Hongmei Tea, one of the top ten famous teas in China, is produced here. The cave entrance in Lingshan Cave is engraved with four characters of "Lingshan Dreamland", which is fascinating. Entering the cave, the first thing is the "Preface Hall", which is called "Breeze Corridor", and there are attractions such as "Five Fingers Welcome" and "Yunquan Waterfall".
The landscape of Lingshan Cave is magnificent, dazzling and fascinating. Climbing the stairs from the "stone ladder" with a height of 48 meters and a slope of 85 degrees, which is extremely rare in caves in China, you will reach the clear and empty cave of jujube in Shandong. The "Qingxu Cave" has a small area, but the landscape is small and exquisite, which is quite different from the cave next door, and the stone posture is changeable, just like stepping into a dream world.
