It's truly the best cave. The tourist area stretches over 6 kilometers, and even someone like me, who walks briskly and only takes photos of the scenery rather than the people, still takes nearly two hours.
The cave is filled with various wonders, and many areas offer a new view. Outside of holidays, it's not crowded, making for a great experience. Parking lots 2 and 3 are actually more convenient, as they're closer to the visitor center.
We visited at the end of September, and it was very quiet, making the experience quite enjoyable.
From the Grand Canyon exit, we took the elevator, boat, and shuttle to Zhijin Cave. The shuttle and sightseeing bus were very convenient.
It was still quite breathtaking, truly awe-inspiring. It's truly a place worth visiting.
The cave was slippery, and we climbed an hour and a half each way. But I can't imagine being breathless during the summer holidays with so many people, so I'd be wise to consider it carefully during crowded times.
The lighting is a bit difficult to judge, though.

You can't miss the caves after visiting Zhijin! It's true!
The Zhijin Grand Canyon boasts magnificent caves, including Swallow Cave, Tianmen Cave, and Twin Bridges. The scenery is diverse, and the canyon plank roads, boat rides, and the Jingu Elevator are all excellent experiences.
There's a free shuttle bus between the Grand Canyon and Zhijin Cave, and the transportation is well-organized! It's such a thoughtful experience! 👍 Near the entrance, villagers will warmly invite you to have lunch before continuing your exploration. We did, and the bamboo fungus-braised chicken was delicious!
In the afternoon, we visited Zhijin Cave. As the reviews online suggest, the scenery is magnificent, and the lighting is superb! We walked and photographed the area with our kids, and it took us two hours to complete.
I loved that elevator. Looking back at the pictures after riding it, I realized how dramatic the drop was. The waterfall inside was truly breathtaking, its powerful cascade cascading down.
Many spots offered excellent photo opportunities.
Unfortunately, it rained heavily a few days before our visit, so we weren't able to take the boat ride, missing out on a much better experience.
