What time does the bus from Zhashui Cave to Xi'an Railway Station leave in the morning? How long is the flight?

Zhashui Karst Cave is 65 kilometers away from Xi'an City and 15 kilometers south of Xi'an City. It covers an area of ??24 square kilometers and has 118 large and small caves. In addition to viewing the caves, you can go to nearby farmhouses for meals and rafting.< /p>

Due to the opening of the Zhashui Expressway (Zhashui-Xiaohe), the shuttle bus from Xi'an to Zhen'an runs on the expressway and no longer passes through the Zhashui Cave. The specific route for tourists to reach the Zhashui Cave is Xi'an-Zhashui ( Reverse)--Zhashui Cave.

The Zhashui County Tourism Company invested heavily in the cave water diversion project this year and added water landscapes in the Dragon Palace, Foye Cave hall and other places.

You can basically come back in one day. For the sake of economy, it is best to buy a Shaanxi tourism annual pass. The annual pass only costs 68, and you can visit many places, while the ticket for Shanzhashui is only 62. It's still a good deal. You don’t need anything else, just bring some water with you and some snacks if you like to eat.

In terms of items, since the temperature in Zhashui is a few degrees lower than that in Xi'an, it is appropriate to dress warmly. There are lights in the cave, so if you are worried, you can bring a small flashlight. You can bring a camera, but you can bring a card camera with a V-shaped hand gesture at most to take a souvenir photo. It is basically impossible to take pictures of the wonders of the cave. If you can, bring a SLR or a camera with full manual functions, but be sure to bring a tripod. Of course, if it’s just a souvenir, there’s no need to go to such trouble.

By bus, you can take the bus from Xi'an to Zhashui at Chengnan Passenger Terminal. On the way to Zhashui, you can see the longest land tunnel in Asia - the Qinling Zhongnanshan Tunnel.

The bus arrived at Zhashui County Station about an hour and a half later. There was no need to leave the station to find the bus to Zhenan in the yard. It cost 4 yuan to reverse the bus to Zhashui Cave and arrived at the cave 40 minutes later. The shuttle bus on the ground floor is very old and the distance between them is very small. The car stopped next to Zhashui Cave, which is actually a ravine with a parking lot.

The free WC here is very clean and has a flushing device. You can try it out=. =

There is a rockery at the entrance of the cave and a camel ride for 5 yuan a time.

There are many parts of Zhashui Cave. The largest and most famous one is Tianfo Cave. Annual passes are also free here, and others require payment. The Wind Cave is before Tianfo Cave and is currently privately contracted. It is recommended not to visit it because it is small in scale, and some people online say that the boss here misleads tourists into thinking that this is the entire cave. As for other landscapes except caves, it is up to you to decide according to your personal schedule.

You don’t need to buy a ticket if you hold an annual pass. You can enter directly by swiping your card at the ticket gate. There is a guided tour service at the door for 20 yuan each time, so you can consider it. After entering the ticket gate, you need to walk up the stairs to the entrance halfway up the mountain to enter the inside of the cave. This section is still very physical.

Halfway up the mountain, enter through a small hole and you will find the cave. The cave is very dark, and your eyes will get used to it after a while. Each meaningful stone will have a name and lantern decoration next to it.

In addition, don’t turn on the flash when taking pictures, unless you want to take pictures of rocks that have no aesthetic value. Flash can seriously ruin the atmosphere of a scene. For simply shooting rocks, after testing, I found that using F22 4s ISO100 is suitable for most situations.

It is recommended to keep the ISO at 100 and the aperture as small as possible to obtain a larger depth of field. Control the exposure by controlling the shutter speed. Usually 4s is used. If it is darker, it can be increased to 5s or 8s to experiment by yourself.

3.2s may be enough for bright spots. This is a shot of stalactites. If you need to turn on the flash to take pictures of people, please use the slow sync mode. After the flash, the person remains motionless within the exposure time, otherwise there will be ghost images. Generally, the exposure is 4-6 seconds, depending on the light source on site.

Going inside, there is a place called Elysium, which is an inner hall. There are many views here, but the most terrible thing is here. Because in order to create a fountain effect, the developer made a small fountain. The water in the fountain is imported from outside the cave. We know that caves, like cellars, generally have a constant temperature and have their own small circulation, which introduces external water vapor, causing the temperature of the hall to rise rapidly. In addition, the space is relatively closed and the humidity is high. It will be suddenly hot and sweaty, and what's even worse is that the camera lens is seriously fogged up (it's unknown whether it's fogged up inside). It is recommended that when you get here, you put the camera away in your bag, sit down and rest for half an hour to let the equipment adapt to the temperature here, so that there will be no fogging, which may damage the equipment.

The interior of the cave is a loop. Follow the arrow directions and generally you will not miss any scenic spots. It is best to walk in groups. Some places are still a bit scary when no one is around... The exit from the cave is under the sleeve of a giant Buddha. ~I will give you some incense for free. If you believe in Buddhism, burn it and say goodbye. Just go down the mountain road. Finally exit through the entrance. There is a small square at the foot of the mountain where you can rest, with some pavilions and swings.

It took about two hours to walk slowly and take photos.

You can go to Fenghuang Ancient Town on the way.

Walk at the cave to stop the car from Zashui or take a taxi (it costs 2 yuan to stop a car and 10 yuan to take a taxi). Get off at Xiakou, then stop the car on the side of the road, and you can go to Chaizhuang. Of course you can wait for the shuttle bus, if you are not in a hurry.

About 40 minutes, we arrived at Feng Town. A large archway at the entrance of the village reads Fenghuang Ancient Town. Because the ancient town is a tourist place, it is also designed as a loop. Of course, you can walk as you like, and there is no charge.

Walking a little further in and passing a small bridge, there is a monument that says something about the ruins of an ancient town from the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is actually an old house, but now it is a shop selling some clothes and so on. Generally speaking, it may not have the feeling of an ancient town as imagined. It only took a few hundred meters to walk, and behind it were ordinary rural houses. Just think of it as relaxing in the countryside. Fengzhen’s specialty seems to be bacon. You can buy some smoked tofu, which tastes pretty good.

Take the shuttle bus back to Zhashui County at the entrance of the village, and take the shuttle bus to Xi'an Chengnan Passenger Transport Station.

Total cost: Round trip ticket from Xi'an to Zhashui is 50 yuan, from Zhashui to Karst Cave is 4 yuan, from Karst Cave to Fenghuang Ancient Town is 10 yuan, and from Fenghuang to Zhashui is 8 yuan. Travel expenses are 1***72. If you get an annual pass, you can get a discount for multiple people. If you don't get an annual pass, the ticket is 63. The rest is food and drink.

If you can't find the bus stop, ask someone! ! Or take a taxi to the south of the city! ! The starting price of a taxi in Xi'an is 6 yuan (within 3 kilometers), and the rental price for kilometers after 3 kilometers is 1.3 yuan; the time and distance are calculated together; the return mileage is "reduced" to 10 kilometers. The standard for counting time and distance is: the taxi's driving speed is less than 8 kilometers per hour, the meter starts timing and metering, the total rental price is 1 kilometer for 6 minutes, and the rental price is 0.5 kilometers every 3 minutes. If it is less than 3 minutes There will be no charge if the time is less than 6 minutes, it will be calculated as 3 minutes.

Less expensive than other similar cities
