Ice Bucket Cave

　　　Jinhua’s Ice Bucket Cave has an opening that faces the sky and descends vertically, deep and mysterious. It is an inclined, vertical sinkhole. When you look down, a chill hits you, and the cave seems bottomless—hence the name “Ice Bucket.” Visitors can follow winding stone steps down to the cave floor. Water cascades from behind stalactites hanging from the cave ceiling, rushing forward like a dragon, with thunderous roar that shakes the ears. The waterfall splashes upon hitting the ground, forming a misty spray. Combined with the cave’s echoes, it creates the illusion of “a thousand waterfalls converging, all pouring from above.” In the cave, there is also a section called “Flying Waterfall,” where the water falls from great height, creating a thunderous sound due to the lack of sunlight, hence earning the name “No Light Zone.” On the cave’s west side is “Mirror Lake,” which remains dark even in daylight because no sunlight penetrates, thus also called “Dark Lake.” 　　(No images available yet.
