Our journey from the centre of Xi'an to Zhashui took us about two hours as the road was quite bumpy in parts, but we were able to relax and enjoy passing through the the countryside and taking a look at the real China. A lift inside the cave took us up so far and from then on we climbed. The cave was beautifully lit and the rock formations spectacular. We climbed for about forty-five minutes but the climb was not hard and could be achieved by an averagely fit person. We took wonderful photos. There was no lift going down but this was not a problem. An alternative'slide' was available and this looked safe and great fun.We lunched at a local restaurant at the foot of the cave and thoroughly enjoyed the day.See more..
