Things to do in Xingwen

It's definitely worth a visit. The cave is huge and spectacular, truly deserving of its title as a World Geopark. The transportation is excellent; just turn right after exiting Xingwen High-Speed ​​Railway Station and you'll find minibuses to Xingwen Stone Forest for 17 yuan per person – very convenient. However, the walk from the cave entrance to the park's exit (which is also the cave's exit) takes about 1.5 hours. It's a long walk, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes and it's quite physically demanding. It's not recommended for people over 70.

The scenic area might not be very popular, and it's actually quite short, mostly going up and down. The roads are slippery when it rains, which isn't ideal for the elderly. It's basically just walking around; there's not much to see. If you're going to the bamboo forest, I'd say it's optional. The sightseeing bus is just a large Coaster bus. Luckily, we didn't buy tickets and had our family pick us up by car.

This was my second time driving to Shunan Bamboo Sea. The stunning bamboo scenery, world-class beautiful environment, pure psychological healing, fresh air with negative oxygen ions, the valley where you can forget your worries, the babbling brooks, the misty mountains, and the dreamlike beauty of driving along the forest trails—it's like a dream, a mesmerizing experience, a fairyland, a painting—a place you should cherish forever!

There is a bowl-shaped depression in Xingyan Township, which is a natural funnel (a specific geographical phenomenon) with a diameter of 650 meters and a depth of 208 meters, which is larger than the Alisibo Funnel in the United States, which is known as the world's largest (330 meters in diameter and 70 meters deep). It is a unique place in the world. The Xingwen Natural Funnel has been included in the world record candidate of the world's largest natural funnel by the China World Records Association.

The plot is simple but the lighting effects are great

A sea of ​​clouds blankets the mountains, creating a cool, oxygen-rich environment – ​​a perfect summer retreat in southern Sichuan. Value for money: Extremely high
