Haonan said... It was an amazing journey with Chris and Brad. The tour includes 4hours traveling and complimentary drinks underground. We set off at 1500 and firstly two abseiling downfalls. Then jumped down to the complete darkness of the cave. We saw a lot of glow worms shining down there and many geological structures, echo-rock, stalactite and stalagmite. Chris introduces a lot about the formation of such structures and guided us to see many fossils. We also did rock climbing way back to the ground. Nice one ! 和Chris和Brad的精彩旅程，一共4个小时。我们下午三点出发，先是两个20m的滑降到洞底，这个环节涉及到瀑布，小心会被打湿（穿的是冲浪的保暖服，不会特别冷）。到了洞底，沿着暗路，探索整个涵洞，有钟乳石，石笋，化石，回声石。当然，最重要的是萤火虫。这些萤火虫，其实是蜉蝣的幼虫，他们生长在洞里，制作粘性垂丝，身体发出光亮，吸引猎物。成虫为蜉蝣，无嘴无肛，不进食，短暂生命，尽欲后产卵，死去。哈哈哈科普的太多了。重回地面的路上，我们一起攀岩回到地面。 ⚠️项目持续时间较长，请在换衣服的时候自行解决厕所问题。防水服和胶鞋，他们提供，请挑选合适的尺码；自备长棉袜和泳裤。回来后一定要先洗澡，记得带沐浴露和换的干衣服。
