Dragon Palace Cave Secret Exploration and Travel

Legend has it that Longgong Cave in Fangxi Township, Jinyun is a beautiful palace of the Dragon King of the East China Sea in the immortal capital. It is unfathomable and few people have been able to explore the end. On the weekend of 2018.10.20, there were 13 of us (Laodao, Maomao, Xingshe, Guanguan, Love Life, Shuiyunjian, Xiaotaozi, Xinyuan, Nuanyang, Cheng Yizhi, Ziyan, Shangqiao, Benxiaoxia), Wearing a helmet and a headlamp, we traveled from Longgong Cave to Caotou Fire Cracking Rock, Jiangjun Rock (Junlintianxia), and Caotou Fort. We were both tortured and happy.

The track that day was only 6 kilometers. The Zhejiang Jinyun pumped storage power station project has started construction and is advancing very quickly. The Dacangshan Tunnel, a control project on the road from Jingu to Fangxi in Jinyun County, has been connected! In the near future, the Longgongdong Power Station will also be submerged, and the track in this area will become out of print.

Today’s scheduled plan preparation: Longgongdong Power Station – Canyon River Tracing – Xiakeng Reservoir – Huocrayan – Jiangjunyan (Junlintianxia) – Caotou – Caotou Fort – along the Caotou notch and the ancient road back to Longgongdong. Because it rained a little in the morning, the ancient trail should be very wet. After the bus arrived at Longgongdong Power Station, I changed my original plan and stopped walking on the ancient trail. I sent two cars to Caotou Village and just crossed it. If time permits, we will also visit Dolphin Rock, Python Rock, Confucius Rock, Piano Rock, Husband and Wife Rock, and Divine Turtle Rock.

A car parked at the entrance of Longgongdong Power Station, and the journey to explore the secrets began. It was a test as soon as we started walking up the stream. It rained a little in the morning and the rocks were very slippery, so we had to change to a short section of the ancient trail.

It takes 20 minutes along the ancient road to reach the mountainside, where an ancient temple is hidden.

The secret investigation begins

The Longgong Cave is divided into upper and lower caves. The upper cave is bottomless and cool breeze blows. The lower cave is deep and small. The rock spring trickles down, the sound of water is clear and clear, and the rocks inside the cave are smooth and spread out, which is called the dragon bed.

Due to our equipment and other reasons, we chose to explore the upper cave (dry cave) today.

Headlights are used. In fact, before climbing very far, it was completely dark inside the cave, which was illuminated entirely by headlamps.

Show off before entering the cave

You can only walk sideways or lying down. Fat people can't get through this gap.

It's all about headlamps today.

Oh my gosh! So high! I want this to go up.

The eight immortals cross the sea and show their magical powers

The holes are connected, thrilling and exciting. Along the way, we encounter caves as big as a living room, and more often we encounter small caves that can only accommodate one person crawling through. Occasionally, we see something that shines under the light, and we don’t know whether it is crystal or fluorite.

Travel through various caves

There's Batman in the hole! It can be said that bat excrement is within reach, and the smell of bat urine is often repelled in the nose...

Since only half of the people came in to explore the cave, we came out of the cave entrance below after about 40 minutes of exploring the cave.

Winding down from the entrance of the cave, the mountain stream is full of strange rocks, like disks, giant peaks, and water mortars, lying horizontally, reclining, and flat, with different postures and strange shapes.

Strange rocks above the cave entrance

The mountains and fields are quiet, quiet and full of wild interest.

The female donkey submerged in the cave is pretending to be B on the boulder.

The water in Longgong Cave gurgled over the rocks and between the cracks in the rocks, with flying beads and jade splashing, or ripples and scales, and the water was clear.

Just after passing a level, another huge boulder blocked the way~

I also want the back view!

Mortar! Many small rocks of different sizes are found on the rocks in the canyon.

Feeling a little conquered, I opened a bottle of beer to fill it up.

The rocks behind me look a little scary

Resting is just for posing

This requires teamwork, everyone has a tacit understanding of each other, and the vanguard goes to lower the rope.

Walk the rugged riverbed of the canyon

Continue walking through the stone circle

Various birds in the woods on both sides of the canyon were still chirping, seeming to welcome us and cheering. At the same time, they seemed to hate us uninvited guests who broke into their territory and cursed us in a language we could not understand.

Although Longgong Cave is a canyon, due to the Xiakeng Reservoir above, there is actually no water flow in most of the canyon riverbed.

Another boulder blocks the way~

quick! Caotou Fort has been seen ahead.

In such a beautiful place, how can we not take a few photos together?

Those who went up first were all watching~~~while shouting: GO! GO!

take a break

The actual distance between the Longgongdong Hydropower Station and the Xiakeng Reservoir Dam is less than four kilometers. In this canyon, due to the complex terrain, the riverbed is dotted with various boulders, either vertical or lying, tall or short, with different shapes. Some boulders block the way, so everyone has to protect each other, pull by hand, and use ropes to pull through. Due to the light rain in the morning, some rocks passing through the river bed were slippery, so the canyon progressed slowly. In fact, there is no water flow in the canyon upstream from Longtong Hall. It turns out that the water in the upstream canyon flows into the Longgong Cave at the bottom of the canyon. When passing through the canyon in some places, you can hear the sound of water flowing under the riverbed canyon. We didn’t arrive at the lower part of Xiakeng Reservoir until twelve o’clock.

Approaching the end of the canyon, under the Xiakeng Reservoir Dam, we will settle here at noon.

Set up the stove, are you here to climb a mountain? All FB.

After finishing the meal, continue and raise your head suddenly.

Caotou Xiakeng Reservoir Dam

Xiakeng Reservoir

Go straight up the wild road beside the reservoir and you will reach the fire crack rock.

Fire crack rock, also called fire armor rock, is one of the most spectacular scenery in Caotou.

The Caotoubao Peak opposite is majestic.

The rocks are beautiful, the travelers are elegant, and man and nature are harmonious and beautiful.

Beautiful women and handsome men stood on the boulder and kept taking photos pretending to be bad.

The huge boulder hanging in the sky looks like a mighty and domineering cannon, so we call it Cannon Rock.

Cannon Rock is at the foot of Qianglu.

After coming down from the fire cracking rock, cross the bridge and go to the right for a section of the road. Just go to Junlintianxia, ​​commonly known as Jiangjun Rock.

Junlintianxia, ​​commonly known as Jiangjun Rock, is located on the ridge directly south of Caotou Village together with Tianpeng Marshal Zhu Bajie.

Below is Jiangjun Rock, and at the top is the residence of Marshal Tianpeng.

"The mansion reaches the sky".

Cross the sky.

The mountains are so beautiful that you can’t miss taking a photo with them.

Looking to the north, Caotoubao Peak is even more majestic. The fire cracked rock on the left and the Zhaibaibao Peak on the right support the reservoir dam.

From here, you can go down to Caotou Village from the mountain ridge.

The summit landmark?

To the entrance of Caotou Village, there is a stone arch bridge.

Today was almost all about jumping on rocks, asking for everyone’s consensus, and leaving the beautiful scenery for next time. After coming from the Caotou Stone Arch Bridge, Guan Guan and I drove on the highway, while the others continued to Cao Toubao. This crossing ended around 4 o'clock.

Outdoors, if there is no excitement and challenge, there will be a lack of passion and vitality!
