Name:Yunhua Scenic Spot of Bats Cave Class:AAA Area:Nanyang Tel:Chishuigou, Wuliqiao Township, Xixia County Tel:0086-400-666-0166 Email:henantour@gmail.com Skype:karenzheng2004 Located at Chishuigou, Wuliqiao Township, Xixia County, 6km from the county seat and 2km from No.312 National Highway, it is a scenic spot for sightseeing, in-cave adventures and summer escape. It has been listed as a key nature reserve. The cave has typical Karst terrain features. Owing to many cloud-like patterns on the walls and the presence of many bats, it is named Yunhua Bats Cave. Inside the cave are underground passages, underground rivers, stalactites and so on. There are many zigzags in the cave and it sometimes leads to a part as high as over 60m, while other times only low enough for a man to get through by bending his body. Sometimes it is as wide as 80m, while other times it is only 1m in width. Many minor caves connect each other, making an impressive network. The stalactites in the cave take on different shapes, which give people a lot of associations. The rock formations, through flexural folding and water erosion, have shaped many natural frescos, which makes one feel like entering an art gallery.
In
the cave live seven kinds of nearly 100,000 bats, among which some are
rare species in the world. During the daytime, they rest by hanging
themselves back downward. When surprised, they turn their heads, shake
their ears and make sounds. When they go out in search of food, it takes
hours and makes a spectacular view. Before the dawn, they hover at the
cave entrance for a while and rush into the cave, making an even more
wonderful scene. The rivers in the cave flow non-stop and many pools and
lakes are formed. When the underground river flows, one can only hear
the sound without seeing the river, which undoubtedly lends a note of
mystery to the place.
