Furong Cave and Cave Xueyu

Near the town Jiangkou in Wulong County, Chongqing, halfway up the mountain on the left bank of the Furong (Lotus) River, a branch of the Wujiang River, there is a place called "Panjia Yan." This is the site of a steamboat Cave " which emits steam in winter and cool in summer. All year he was crowned in mist, accompanied by the sound of thunder. For centuries, stories about this spooky "Steam Cave" have abounded and people did not dare enter? In May l993, several villagers braved explore with torches? 0ne year after their first exploration, May l, L 994. This "steam Cave" has been renamed "Furong Cave" and was officially opened to tourists.

Enter Furong Cave for the first time, the first thing I saw was silver layers curtains white stone like clusters of clouds below the curtains of stone were rows of stone "domains" and pillars, as large towering trees in the sky. What a beautiful scene … like a scroll painting. By crystal clear pool, sparkling calcite under colored lights, falling back to down on the pond were two stalactites jade etc. The pool, one of the largest pools speleothems and the best is called "Lake Jasper corals. "

The opening of the cave was big Furong News in Chongqing this year and immediately caught the attention cavers. Before its opening, no one had found its natural entrance. Later, an international team of cave exploration carried in five large-scale scientific research l08 days. They discovered a secret size: that there were 108 trees perpendicular within l0 km from the cave Furong and the pit steam Cave, 920 meters deep, was the deepest in China. And all have been linked to Furong Cave! They also found that the caves had Furong over the 00 Types of speleothems, a veritable museum of science cave.

One day in l997, during the holiday of Chinese New Year, a retired official, Wang Chengyun around a cave entrance near the valley Longhe. 12 km from the headquarters Fengdu County. He immediately went home and invited some compamons to explore it further. After investigation of two weeks or more, they discovered many white stalactites in the cave. They reported to the local government and Professor Zhu Xuewen came to investigate. More Later he gave a high appraisal of the value of the cave in terms of tourism and scientific research and name it Xueyu (Jade Snow) Cave. In fall 2001 Fengdu my friends invited me to visit the cave and Professor Zhu Xuewen offered his services as guide.

The flame in hand. I followed Xueyu cave. Wherever I shine the torch was a calcium deposit incredibly beautiful glittering stone "flag", translucent and thin as cicada wings, white as snow, stalagmites, stone and immaculate white "shield" shaped penguin … For me, in the hardened mud, delicacy and purity is a reminder of natural beauty teen.

In March 2005, when Professor Hamilton-Smith Elery, Chairman of the Panel the cave of work of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN), visited the cave Xueyu He added that all ten thousand caves, he investigated, the cave was the most beautiful Xueyu.
