Yinzi Cave 桂林銀子岩洞乳房石 : Stalactites . . .

According to the tour guide: these stalactites resemble over-hanging breasts. I like the fact that this small part of the cave was illuminated with soft, uncoloured lighting.

 

Yinzi is a famous cave in Yangshou, Guangxi, China. Covering an area of 1,000,050 square meters, the Silver Cave Scenic Area in Lipu County is 85 km away from the downtown Guilin and 3 km away from Yangshuo County.

 

According to the Yinzi Cave Travel Guide : "The Silver Cave (Yinzi Cave) is praised as "the World Limestone Cave Miracle" by the experts on Karsts geology from France. It is one of the most impressive caves with amazing crystal cave deposits in Guilin. The deposits are prevented from oxidation very well, so the Silver Cave is as beautiful as its name. "

 

It takes about an hour to go through high-lighted features.

 

銀子岩溶洞是典型的喀斯特地形,貫穿十二座山峰,屬層樓式溶洞,洞內鐘乳石宛如銀河,閃爍出銀子般光芒,故稱「銀子岩」。銀子岩洞內的每一處都獨立成景,遠觀又形成一個奇異的景觀世界,形神意似,令人浮想聯翩。越是深入洞中,越是奇石遍布,景觀越是高大雄偉,形色壯美。你看那擎天石柱猶如立于峰巔之上的老松,憂鬱滄桑,周圍遍布均勻細長的枝權,巍巍高乎26米,此是洞中"三寶"之二,名為"獨柱擎天"。再看那凌駕在半空之中的"險峻天橋"不禁讓人想起牛郎織女的傳說故事,然而使人驚訝的是"橋"的另一端與岩壁隻有一絲相接!更有奇趣迥異的傘狀鍾乳石,以其比作神話中北方多聞天王手中的神器--"混元珍珠傘"隨隊的導遊將傳說故事娓娓道來,形象而生動,實屬溶洞景觀中的絕品,這種在地質變化以及石灰岩溶解的復雜變化過程中產生出的奇特形狀,對地質學、地貌學、洞穴學等學科均具有很高的科研價值。
