Benxi Water Cave is one of the "six most beautiful caves in China"

⛰️ Benxi Water Cave, a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction, a national key scenic spot, a member of the International Association of Travel Caves in Asia, is the longest underwater karst cave discovered in the world, and is praised as 'A myriad of stalagmite peaks, a light boat on the clear water is like poetry and painting; such beauty should only exist in the realm of immortals, and in the human world, this is the unique cave heaven'. 💰 Ticket price: Adult 🎫 Ticket + Dry Cave + Petrified Wood Park + Boat Ride in Water Cave = 140 Water Cave + Dry Cave + Petrified Wood Park + Electric Cart = 150💰 Water Cave + Dry Cave = 110💰 ✅ Benxi Water Cave is a large dark river cave formed 400,000 years ago, containing both water and dry caves. The dry cave is 280 meters long, and the water cave is 5,800 meters long. Currently, nearly 3,000 meters of the underground river have been developed for tourism. After entering the cave, visitors take a boat tour. The cave is very spacious with a strong sense of space, and it is very deep. The boat tour lasts for about 40 minutes, and it feels like sitting on the boat for a very long time with no end in sight, which is quite impressive. Moreover, there is still a long distance ahead where the boat turns around, but it has not been developed and is not suitable for boat tours. 🚤 Since it is a boat tour, most of the stones are quite far away and can only be viewed from a distance; however, some stones above the river resemble densely packed inverted swords, and you need to duck your head when the boat passes by, allowing you to touch them up close and feel the temperature of nature. 🌋 The water cave is huge in scale, with karst landscapes in various forms, including 'Nine Bends', 'Seven Palaces', 'Three Gorges', and more than ninety other attractions. It covers an area of 49,000 square meters, with a space of over 400,000 cubic meters. The wider areas are 38 meters high and 70 meters wide. The air inside the cave is fresh, and the water flow is constant throughout the year, with a daily flow of 14,000 cubic meters, an average water depth of 1.5 meters, and the deepest part reaching 7 meters. The constant temperature inside the cave is 12°C, which is quite cold. ✅ The river is not only winding and meandering, but also the water is clear and bottom-visible. According to the simple analysis and full analysis of water quality, its water is of high-quality drinking water. ✨ In 2005, it was rated by China's 'National Geographic' magazine as 'the most beautiful tourist cave in China', and it is also the longest underwater karst cave in the world. Although the lighting inside the cave seems tacky, when you are there in person, you can only marvel at the natural beauty and the craftsmanship of nature. Due to the great depth of the water cave, it is very dark, and a large number of lighting facilities must be installed for illumination. ❤ Recommended reason: ✳️ Benxi Water Cave includes: Water Cave, Dry Cave, Geological Museum, Petrified Wood Kingdom, Yan Shui Paradise, Victory Style Park. 🌟 Highlights: Petrified Wood Kingdom: Petrified wood is a fossilized tree formed when trees were replaced by silica from groundwater after volcanic eruptions during the dinosaur era. The park contains a total of 619 petrified trees. Water Cave: The air in the cave is fresh, the water flow is constant all year round, and there are more than 100 riverside attractions, each with its own characteristics. Boating among them is like being in a fairyland; this is a mysterious cave where water and stone are naturally integrated, and it is the longest underground dark river that has been discovered in the world that can be toured by boat. Dry Cave: The dry cave is 300 meters long, with a cave that is uneven in height. Geological Museum: The museum displays geological relics from the Liaoning Benxi National Geological Park, prehistoric geological relics, more than 30 national treasure-level precious specimens, and more than 3,300 rare specimens. 📌 Little Tips: The temperature inside Benxi Water Cave is low, with a constant temperature of only 12°C, so you need to wear a warm coat, and be sure to keep warm.
