Featured attractions

The Chang'an Eco Tour lasts three hours and starts from the reception center built on Chang'an Avenue. The starting point is Chang'an Ferry. It only takes about ten minutes for the small bamboo boat carrying tourists to enter the small river in the cave where strange peaks and rocks stand everywhere. The air in the cave is cool.

Walking slowly along the Chaoxi River, tourists came to the entrance of the black cave. There are rows of cruise ships waiting to enter the cave. The boats are kept three meters apart to ensure the safety of tourists. One cruise ship after another sails into the black hole. The cave systems in Chang'an Ecological Tourism Zone are of various shapes and types.

Each cave has its own characteristics. Due to the dissolution and accumulation of limestone, groups of stalactites are formed next to each other. There are countless stalactites and stone pillars in the cave that were formed tens of millions of years ago. Tourists on the boat are occasionally reminded by the boat owner to lower their heads to avoid hitting stalactites. Tourists feel that the deeper the cave becomes, the more likely there is no way out. Suddenly the entrance of the cave appears in front of them. Exiting a cave, visitors enter a vast valley surrounded by cliffs and forests. This is a flooded valley located in a cave in the Chang'an Ecological Zone, and it is also the most charming place in this scenic spot.

From the deep and dark space to the sunny place, it seems that the whole person has entered a new world. The trees and mountains on both sides of the river are reflected on the clear river, and the whole river seems to be dyed green. What a beautiful and charming scenery.

There are 48 caves with spring water flowing through the Chang'an Ecological Tourism Zone, and there are 31 narrow valleys that have been investigated. Among them, the Diling Cave, Black Cave, Liang Cave, Sandi Cave, Sheng Cave and Goat Cave are several kilometers in length. When sightseeing in the Chang'an Ecological Tourism Zone, every time we visit a temple, the boat owner will stop the boat to let tourists go ashore to burn incense and worship Buddha.

In addition to being a beautiful scenic spot, Chang'an Ecological Zone is also regarded as an open-air geological museum. The mountains here have been rated as a new landscape category. It is a combination of limestone hills on the periphery of the plains and coastal limestone hills. The cave's landforms and sedimentation phenomena contribute to the study of climate and geological evolution. It records the process of sea level rise and earth climate change.

Research experts have also discovered traces and remains of primitive humans in caves in the Chang'an Ecological Zone. For example, Gudong has traces of primitive humans dating back 3,000 to 30,000 years ago, and Pei Cave has traces of primitive humans dating back 10,000 years ago.

After three hours of stop-and-go, the cruise ship returned the tourists to the departure ferry, ending the interesting tour. Everyone who has visited here wants to come back and immerse themselves in nature.
