Jinhua: Jinhua refers to Jinhua City (a place name).

Shuanglong Cave: There is a Huanglong and a Qinglong in the cave, hence the name Shuanglong Cave. It is about 40 degrees Celsius, which is the best place for tourists to rest and enjoy the cool in summer. The outer hole and the inner hole are only 5 meters apart, separated by a huge stone screen, leaving only an underground river waterway with a length of 10 meter and a width of more than 3 meters. The water surface of the waterway is only about 0.30 meters away from the limestone on the top of the underground river, so you must lie on your back on the boat and enter the inner hole. Ye Fang's poem "A piece of water breaks the bottom of the rock, and a piece of water goes into the cave" in the Song Dynasty, and Tu Long's poem "thousands of feet's beam presses the water low, lying on his back and returning to the stream" in the Ming Dynasty are all true portrayal of this kind of cave-entering scene. This way of entering the hole is rare at home and abroad. The inner hole is larger than the outer hole, and the effective use area is about 2000-2200 square meters. The underground river in the cave flows down from the channel from Hubing Cave to Shuanglong Cave, and winds out along the bottom of the cave on the north side of the cave. There are many kinds of stalactites on the stacking platform 5- 10 meters above the water surface of the underground river from north to south. There are dozens of scenic spots such as "Shuanglong Flat Top", "Fairy Curtain", "Five Hundred Arhats", "Inverted Bat", "Colorful Clouds Covering the Moon", "Turtle Exploring the Sea", "Tortoise Snake Born", "Frog Stealing Fairy Grass" and "Birthday Xiantao". There are countless cliff carvings in the outer and inner caves of Shuanglong Cave. The earliest preserved stone carving is a poem "Golden Flower Cave" written in the Five Dynasties, which has been around for more than 1000 years.

As early as before the Song Dynasty, Shuanglong, Curling and Chaozhen Cave were collectively called "Jinhua Cave". In the Tang Dynasty, Du Guangting named it "Jin Huashan Jinhua Cave Yuan Cave" in Thirty-six Cave Days. It was not until the autumn of the sixth year in Yuan You, Song Zhezong (109 1) that the three caves were officially named separately. According to Ming Jiajing's Records of Jinhua County, "In the autumn and August of the sixth year of Yuan You, Zhang Shou, the satrap, entered the Three Caves in Beishan Yu, Lou Yu. Because of his name, he was called Chaozhen in the top, curling in the middle and Shuanglong in the bottom. Quzhou makes Jin 'an poetry book as three monuments. Ming Wanli's Records of Jinhua Prefecture also said: "Jinhua Cave." ... there are three holes: those that stand tall in the sky, and those that are five feet long are true; If there is a spring beating cicada in the stream, it is called curling; Suddenly, there was a stone with a head like a white dragon, called Shuanglong. "As for the name" Ssangyong ",there have always been three kinds of statements. 1. Fang Feng, a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty, thinks that "Shuanglong" is in the inner hole: "When you bow your head and step into the inner hole, your head will be twisted. Every second, your claws are white as jade, so-called Shuanglong is also. Ye Shengtao, a modern writer, also holds this view in Two Caves in Jinhua: "First of all, the scenery of the inner cave is of course a double dragon, a yellow dragon and a green dragon winding at the top of the cave. "Secondly, Zheng Dongbai, who was appointed as the magistrate of Jinhua in the twenty-seventh year of Ming Jiajing, thought that the dragon was in the outer cave hall in A Journey to Jinhua:" The mouth of the cave is as wide as a building ... the stone cover is staggered like a stone, and the stone milk hangs like a dragon. Xu Xiake, a famous traveler in the Ming Dynasty, also said this in Travel Notes in Zhejiang ... the hole outside. It is spacious and spacious, like a tall building ... and the stone ribs are stiff and the stone milk is drooping, making all kinds of strange shapes, hence the name Shuanglong. "Third, the newly compiled Jinhua City Records 1992 thinks that" Shuanglong "is at the outer entrance of the cave:" Shuanglong Cave: stalactites are hung on both sides of the entrance, which looks like a faucet, hence the name. "Shuanglong Cave is a karst landscape, located in the center of Shuanglong Cave Scenic Area. It is characterized by a hole in the cave and a boat lying in it. It is the core landscape and landmark landscape of the entire Shuanglong Scenic Area. According to historical records, Liu Zhongqing lived in seclusion in Jin Huashan after being slandered in the Western Han Dynasty (48 BC-33 BC), and Liu Zongyuan wrote Liu Zhongqing's Hidden Jinhua Cave in the Tang Dynasty (Shuanglong Cave was called Jinhua Cave in ancient times).

Shuanglong Cave is about 520 meters above sea level and consists of an inner hole, an outer hole and an ear hole. The entrance is Xuan Lang, and the stalactites hanging on both sides are green and yellow, which look like two faucets. The two faucets are in the outer hole, but the dragon body is hidden in the inner hole, hence the name "Shuanglong Cave". According to legend, the ancient Wuzhou suffered from drought for years, and the people were in dire straits. When Qinglong and Huanglong learned about it, they stole Tianchi water and saved the people. However, because of the violation of dogma, the Queen Mother pinned their necks with huge stones and trapped them in the inner cave of Shuanglong. However, Ssangyong still stubbornly looked up and spit water, and the clear spring water has been flowing ever since.

The outer cave is spacious, with an area of about1200m2, which can accommodate thousands of people. The temperature of the cave is kept around 17℃ throughout the year, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. Especially in the hot summer, it has become an eternal custom for Jinhua people and tourists to enjoy the cool in the cave. Compared with natural air conditioning, it is even worse. The ancients described it well: "Going up the mountain is like rain, and entering the cave is cold."

There are many cliff stone carvings on the outer wall of the cave. The word "Shuanglong Cave" on the north wall of the cave was handed down in the Tang Dynasty by handwriting, and was later copied by the Vice Minister of Communications of the Republic of China. The word "cave" on the south wall is Mo Bao of Wu Lin, a calligrapher in the Song Dynasty. The five characters of "36 holes" were written by Mr. Yu Youren, a veteran of the Kuomintang and a modern calligrapher. There are also "water and stone wonders" stone carvings and inscriptions on the travel notes of celebrities exploring caves in the Qing Dynasty on the innermost stone wall; Modern Hefei tourists' three-character stone carvings of "Shuanglong Cave" are very interesting. He carved the word "dragon" backwards, which means that the two dragon heads in Shuanglong Cave can only see their true colors when they stand in the cave hall and look back (see figure 1).

There is a yellow "stone waterfall" hanging in the north of Waidong Hall, which looks like an ancient robe. This is the legendary "Mr. Lu's hiding place". According to legend, Lv Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals, once hid here. There is also a legend that a village girl swore not to marry or rob her rich man and was locked in a cave. Lv Dongbin went from the cave to rescue the village girl in the cave. Near the northern end of the hall, there are many landscapes such as "Camel Looking Up", "Shi Wa Peeping into the Cave", "Lion Treading" and "Xiao Jin Spreading its Wings", especially the karst landscape "Fairyland" in the cave, which makes people feel like they are in the outside world.

There is a huge screen stone between the inner and outer holes, and only a narrow underground river connects them. This river is15m long and 3m wide. If you want to enter the inner hole, you have to hold your breath and lie on your back on the boat, brush the rocks against the current, and don't lift your head slightly, otherwise you will be in danger of breaking your nose, which is very thrilling. This kind of sightseeing is unique in the world (see Figure 2). The ancient poem "There is a spring in the cave, and you want to find the source of the spring and lie on the boat" describes how to explore the cave in history. 400 years ago, Xu Xiake, a geographer and traveler in the Ming Dynasty, borrowed a bathtub from Mrs. Pan in front of the cave, stripped off his clothes and swam into the inner cave of Shuanglong.

"The water on the beam in thousands of feet is depressed, and the canoe lies on its back and people return to the stream." Entering the inner cave is like being in the Dragon Palace in a fairyland. The inner hole is larger than the outer hole, covering an area of about 3500 square meters. There are many stalactites, stalagmites, stone curtains, stone pillars, stone clocks and underground springs in the cave. "The dragon sees the head but doesn't see the tail." In the cave, you can see the bodies, claws and tails of two dragons. Other major landscapes include Rain Stone on a Sunny Day, Immortal Hanging Clothes, Snow Mountain Luohantang, General's Leg, Jinhua Ham, Beijing Roast Duck, Immortal Bed, Clouds Chasing the Moon, Fantasy Sky, Tortoise Exploring the Sea, Tortoise Fighting the Elixir, etc.

According to its unique landscape characteristics and value, Xu Xiake in Ming Dynasty listed Shuanglong Cave as the first of the "Eight Great Caves in Jin Huashan", and its landscape characteristics and value are "two doors away, hanging in the middle, strange land and water, secluded and bright".
