Xingwen Stone Sea in Yibin| Explore Nature
One of the Four Wonders of Southern Sichuan: Xingwen Stone Sea
Xingwen Stone Sea is a World Geopark. When you enter Xingwen Stone Sea in Yibin, you can admire the towering stone forests, huge caves and the stalactites inside that are like the work of gods, it's a great place for you to deeply appreciate nature.
My one-day itinerary was too short, mainly visiting the three wonders of the scenic area: the surface stone sea, the sinkhole, and the Tianquan Cave. I bought a package ticket: admission + sightseeing car + boat ticket, a total of 115 yuan/person. The sightseeing car is round trip, you can get on and off at any time, and the boat ticket can be bought or not. If you like outdoor activities, you can buy a 240 yuan package ticket, which includes a few more activities.
If you have a longer time, you can also go to the Western Grand Canyon for a visit.
The food in the scenic area is very average, Yibin's burning noodles are okay. Occasionally, you will be invited by local residents to eat at their homes, I heard it's good, all home-cooked dishes, but I didn't go . Considering that there are many delicious foods in Yibin, you can have a big meal after the tour, so I didn't rush.
The scenic area is very large, it is said that it takes three days to walk all the way, very suitable for friends who like hiking.
The transportation near the Stone Sea is very convenient, you can drive yourself, take a bus. You can also take a high-speed train from other cities to Yibin, and then transfer from Yibin, it's very close.
It is still worth going. The scenic spot is large. Fortunately, there are tour buses throughout the whole process. There are outdoor projects to play in the Yuwang Palace. There are many people who cross the jungle and are very interesting. There are few places to eat in the scenic area, and there are also several farmhouses, but it is best to bring some food yourself. After getting off the big funnel, you must walk to reach the cave. Some places in the cave are still under construction, but it does not affect the play. The whole hole is very large. It takes about 1 hour to visit. In general, it is OK.
Xingwenshihai is very worth a visit. The types of attractions are rich, and many iconic attractions are impressive. It was Xingwenshihai, which just visited Zhijin Cave and then went to Zhijin Cave. I feel that the attractions in Zhijin Cave are still too single and peaceful. Xingwenshihai is a much richer landscape type. My favorite is the Shihai surging waves outside the scenic spot. There is no need for tickets here. If you arrive early, or if you stay in the hotel a few days ago and don't enter the scenic spot, you can play freely and take pictures here.
I arrived next to the epidemic. After buying the ticket, I left the car without entering the high risk. Come back the next year, the scenic spot is very big and the scenery is very awkward, but the staff at the entrance ticket office are very rigid. The tickets bought on the mobile phone have to wait until two hours before letting in, wasting our time! A pretended leader is unreasonable to solve the problem, disappointing... What is particularly incomprehensible is: the world geopark, can't even store a suitcase? ?
Xingwenshihai is located in Shihai Town, Xingwen County, Yibin City, Sichuan Province, with an area of 56 square kilometers. It is a karst terrain, Tiankeng, Karst caves, cave accumulations, waterfalls, melt canyons, paleobiological fossils, storm rock deposits, etc. It is a national geological park and is now a national 4A-level scenic spot. The main attractions have the heart of the earth, the lion cave, the natural longest cave, the spring cave, the surface stone sea a karst wonder, the world's first funnel.
There are very few people in the off-season scenic spot, but it is in line with my habit of traveling on a staggered peak. The scenic spot has beautiful scenery and the stones are very distinctive. The cave is decorated with lights. It feels like a geocentric adventure and is worth visiting.
Friends who buy tickets should pay attention to that, those over 60 years old can enter the scenic spot with their ID card without tickets, and they can swipe their ID card. Don't buy that old man ticket anymore. Traffic tickets are personally recommended to buy, but do not take a sightseeing bus as soon as you enter, first slowly play inside, walk through the first line of days to play with the couple's stone, and then take a sightseeing bus to Yuwangzhai to play. After watching the hanging coffin, take the sightseeing bus directly to the big funnel and Tianquan Cave. It is slowly playing inside (we walked fast, almost two hours). The last time in the cave was to take a cruise ship out of the hole, and then take the bus back to the scenic parking lot. The exit of the cave is far from the parking lot and there is no way to walk back. This can save energy and time to the maximum, and do not go back. This is personal advice!
