Shouxing Palace with Zhijindong Landscape

It is an ethereal and magical cave hall on the third floor of Zhijin Cave, which is more than 90 meters high and wide, also known as Jiujiu Palace. The main attraction is the "Samsung Party". Samsung Party consists of three stalagmites, 20 meters high, which are dripping from cracks in the roof of the cave. It has been formed for 350 thousand years, and its shape is like the three stars of happiness, wealth and longevity. In particular, the old birthday girl in the middle, with drooping beard and crutches, is both divine and lifelike. Shouxing Palace has a broad roof, with thick stalagmites standing at the bottom of the cave and tiny stalagmites scattered on the rocks. They record the formation and development period of Zhijin Cave from one side. The first period is the formation period of caves, more than 500,000 years ago. The second phase is the cave roof collapse period, from 350 thousand to 500 thousand years ago; The third stage is the accumulation period of coarse stalagmites, from 250 thousand years ago to 350 thousand years ago; The fourth stage is the accumulation period of slender stalagmites, which started about 654.38 million years ago and continues to this day.
