Zhijin Cave, Karst cave in Zhijin County, China

The underground complex extends for 13.5 kilometers through multiple levels, featuring halls reaching heights of 100 meters and widths of 173 meters.

Local Miao children used the cave, then called Daji Cave, as a play area before its official discovery by the Zhijin Tourism Resources team in 1980.

The cave's name translates to 'weaving gold' in Chinese, reflecting the local Miao community's appreciation for the natural formations within the cavern system.

Visitors can explore ten designated scenic zones, including Yingbin Hall, Sutra Hall, and Wangshan Lake, through established pathways and viewing platforms.

The Silver Rain Tree formation stands 17 meters tall, displaying transparent crystals that form the shape of a flowering tree.
