The slogan of ice cubes

The first time I crossed go on road trip was last year. When I went deep into every county in Shanxi, I found many interesting and surprising things. I was very surprised by the wooden pagoda and Datong volcano group in Yingxian, which I didn't know. There is another scenic spot that many people should be interested in. It is related to ice and is called the eternal ice cave.

At first, I thought that most scenic spots with such names were places where people posted dazzling signs in amusement parks to collect tickets, but my colleagues unanimously decided to find out whether this eternal ice cave was an empty name. When I really saw a pure natural ice cave in summer, I was really dumbfounded.

Wannian Ice Cave is located in a remote village in ningwu county, Shanxi Province, which is very remote. It will be more convenient if you go by car. Because this place also attaches great importance to the development of tourism, and there are many scenic spots around.

Is there really a million-year-old ice cave?

This question should be the first thought of many people before going to this scenic spot. When I went there, my first thought was: Is this ice cave really 10,000 years old?

After I came back, I kept the photos lying on the hard disk, and I didn't think about this question carefully, but when I saw this ice cave, I subconsciously stopped looking for the answer to this question.

A few days ago, I went to find relevant information to confirm that this 10,000-year-old ice cave is really 10,000 years old. To be precise, the statement given by scientists is: 3 million years!

Generally speaking, the ice in a cave can only be called an ice cave if it does not melt all the year round. Ningwu county is a typical temperate climate, with distinct seasons throughout the year and relatively high summer temperature, which is basically at the same level as Beijing. According to common sense, it is impossible to have an ice cave that does not melt all year round, but this ice cave is really in summer, and the ice inside is still very hard.

The reason why this ice cave will not melt all the year round is actually related to scientific explanation. Its principle can basically be summarized in one sentence: this is a natural ultra-high performance ice bank.

Now, the study of this ice cave shows that the secret to ensure that the ice inside this cave will not melt all the year round lies in the particularity of its entrance. This hole is conducive to the entry of cold air in winter and completely isolated from the heat wave outside in summer, and it also has the function of "keeping out the cold", so the ice in this hole will not melt all year round. If there is no such hole in this hole, tens of thousands of years of ice in it will melt completely in a few decades.

According to the conclusion of relevant research, this cave has a history of at least 3 million years, so the 10,000-year-old ice cave does have a history of 10,000 years.

Precious natural heritage like a fairyland on earth.

In fact, many people should have seen ice caves in winter, but most of them are artificially built. In fact, few people have really experienced this kind of ice cave formed by nature. On the one hand, it is because this 10,000-year-old ice cave is indeed a valuable but not well-known scenic spot for many people. On the other hand, many people don't believe that there have been ice caves for millions of years.

When I went, it was said that only a small part of Wannian Ice Cave can be visited now, and some deep caves have not been developed yet, and will be developed into tourist attractions in the future. I learned the word natural heritage in Shanxi. This ice cave is also a very precious natural heritage. Before entering the cave, there was a special slogan reminding me to pay attention to protecting the ice in the cave.

Besides being a precious natural heritage, the biggest feature of this eternal ice cave is: beauty! The beauty of fairyland on earth!

I believe that many people who like to travel have seen scenic spots such as caves, and so have I. Compared with the beautiful scenery in the cave, this Millennium ice cave is now a fairyland on earth after development and lighting rendering. For those who have seen karst, it is ten times as beautiful as karst.

The icicles in the Wannian Ice Cave have a long history and different postures. The area in the cave is relatively small, almost surrounded by ice walls, and there are icicles in my photos everywhere. Crystal clear icicles show special colors under the irradiation of some artificial light, and the visual effect is very shocking.

The greatest tourist value of this ice cave lies in its unique visual effect, and almost every step will have different scenery. Overall, it can be concluded that the scenery of this ice cave has two characteristics. First of all, the visual effect has a great influence, and the visual fatigue on the way has completely disappeared in this ice cave. The second is that icicles and ice cubes in this ice cave have different shapes. Millions of years of history have made the icicles and ice cubes in this cave infinite. In addition, it is said that when developing scenic spots, there are also special plans for the landscape in the cave.

The scenery in the cave has warm colors besides cold colors. The cave was originally the same ice, and through the contrast of different colors of lights, it showed a completely different shocking effect. In fact, it is difficult to describe the scenery in caves simply in words. It can only be said that in this world of ice caves, your eyes will have many choices.

It won't take long to visit the whole ice cave, but for people like me who visit in summer, they are actually reluctant to leave. The overall tour time is about one hour. If you go in winter, the temperature in this cave may be very low, so you must wear warm clothes.

For ordinary tourists, this scenic spot may just be punching in. Besides, for people who specialize in photography, it is really difficult to find similar scenes in the scenic spots in China.

Write it at the end

The trip to Shanxi gave me too many surprises, and this ice cave was the most surprising one. In the hot summer, there will be such a place, like a fairyland. In fact, the most beautiful scenic spots are often hidden in some unfamiliar places. Only by constantly discovering them during your journey can you make your journey full of surprises.

Where is it worth going? In fact, places like this are really worth visiting. If you are going to travel to Shanxi, maybe you can visit this small county, and maybe you will find something different. As for the scenic spots of ice, it's not just summer, but winter may be more interesting.

I hope everyone can find the most beautiful scenery on the trip.
