I'd heard about the unique scenery of the Lianzhou Underground River for a long time, but never got around to visiting. This time, I finally made it, and I was incredibly excited. It was a two-day trip. On the second day, we set off early from Liannan and arrived at the first parking lot of the Lianzhou Underground River Scenic Area in half an hour—the closest one to the entrance. We climbed the steps, walked a few hundred meters, and then went downhill, passing a row of quaint shops, until we reached the ticket booth. The scenic area was very welcoming; seniors over 70 could get free tickets with their ID cards. Adult tickets were 120 yuan, including a boat ride and guided tour. You can book online a day in advance for a discount of over ten yuan, which is also a good deal. After passing through the ticket booth, we soon arrived at the cave entrance. Wow! What a huge underground cave entrance! I've never seen anything so enormous; it was truly awe-inspiring. Entering the cave, looking down, the bottom was incredibly deep, almost like an endless abyss. We walked up the steps for a while before reaching the meeting point. The scenic area had arranged guides, and they only proceeded when there were at least twelve people in each group. We were lucky; everyone arrived right away. Following the guide, we walked along the winding, undulating cave system. Although many of the rock formations didn't quite match the guide's descriptions, and some were even a bit off, appreciating the spectacular karst landscape was still quite enjoyable. After walking 1.8 kilometers, I was honestly a bit tired before reaching the boat dock. Looking up from the bottom of the cave offered another perspective of the lava scenery. Once ashore, we saw a large, impressive array of wine jars scattered at varying heights. After exiting the cave, you can either take a magic carpet ride for 20 yuan or walk up for a few minutes. Parking cost 10 yuan, concluding our pleasant two-hour trip.
