“這是藏在4.8億年奧陶紀地層里的洞穴”
Zhao Jie, deputy secretary-general of the Cave Professional Committee of the Geological Society of China, said
There is very little human life here
It is adjacent to the Dasha River Nature Reserve in Guizhou
It has an excellent water source
且經數百米白雲岩層長距離過濾
The water is pure
Giving birth to a rare "gene pool of cave sediments" in the world
Some of the domes in the cave are more than 100 meters high
Water droplets in the process of falling
Atomization into an "aerosol" rich in calcium bicarbonate
Condensed at the bottom of the stone raft and cave
Strange stone flowers, stone branches, stone grapes, stone corals, etc
The formation of the "fog sedimentation" spectacle

In addition, many cave beads have been found in this cave
Also called cave pearls
Very rare
Because the texture is good
The purity is very high
Crystal clear

"I've been caving for years.
The sedimentary material produced in the cave is very pure.
Just like white jade,
This is not found in other caves in the country. ”
Zhao Jieyu, deputy secretary-general of the Cave Professional Committee of the Geological Society of China, said
"In this scientific research activity, it was found that there is a cave hall of tens of thousands of square meters in the cave.
上千根純白石鐘乳如冰晶森林般亭亭玉立於其中，
The snow-white texture comes from the extremely high purity of calcium carbonate in the water and no impurities interference.
sediment, size, quality, type of sediment in the cave,
Completely changed our perceptions"

Zhang Yuanhai, vice chairman of the Cave Professional Committee of the Geological Society of China and an expert in the evaluation of the Global Geopark, said
"Many morphologies (e.g., calcium film cones) were previously only seen in theoretical models,
And here it exists in clusters,
At present, this cave is in terms of development and quality
It may be unique in the country. ”
