Has the mysterious underground world in Zhejiang, a rare and huge project in China, been sleeping for thousands of years?
A small mountain village in Zhejiang called Shiyanbei, which faces south and faces the water, has existed since ancient times? A treasure trove of feng shui? Said. Longyou Grottoes here is one of the highest level underground artificial buildings in ancient China, and it is also a great miracle of the development and utilization of underground space in the world. Not only is the age of construction unknown, but the causes and uses of these grottoes are also controversial, which has become an eternal mystery and is also called "the ninth wonder of the world" by local people.
The whole scenic spot is an open park, and you can also see lakes and pavilions on the way to the grottoes. Like the residential garden, it is also a national 4A-level tourist attraction, which is also free at ordinary times, and tickets will only be collected on weekends and holidays. There are photos taken at the stone tablet of the scenic spot, saying that it is free to take photos. Select a photo at the exit. The small one is for you, and the large one is 10 inch, which needs to be paid. It's a good thing I didn't take pictures, otherwise it would be routine.
Longyou Grottoes are magnificent, exquisitely designed and scientific, with advanced architectural specifications, and indeed have the charm of uncanny workmanship. Each grotto is a magnificent palace, with an inverted rectangle, a small exit and a large bottom, steep sides, an inclination angle of about 45 degrees, and straight walls. There are many gaps in the wall, but I don't know what it is made of and why it should be chiseled. The hole is obviously underground, but it is surprisingly hot. It's getting warmer and warmer inside, and I'm already sweating in the middle.
At present, the most advanced grotto is Cave 5, which is about 700 square meters in size and 25 meters underground. It's obviously getting colder downstairs. The whole grotto is rectangular and supported by three huge stone pillars arranged in the north and south. Such a huge project is unbelievable. There are stone carvings of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea in the grottoes, which were carved by local residents after excavation, and can also be regarded as a kind of sustenance for the grottoes.
Cave 4 is the largest of these caves, covering an area of about 2000 square meters. Three huge stone pillars are arranged in a triangle with a huge pool in the middle. At the top of the grottoes, you can clearly see the traces of manual chiseling, which are arranged neatly and orderly, showing the exquisite skills of ancient Chinese workers. There are many inverted wires in the grottoes, which are specially set up monitoring instruments. These instruments can monitor the temperature, humidity, pressure and other data in the grottoes from time to time and record them.
The confusing life experience of Longyou Grottoes has also attracted many tourists to find out. If you look closely, you will find that the gaps that the ancients seem to have decorative intentions can be clearly seen on the ceiling and stone pillars, and these gaps are distributed very evenly and regularly; At the bottom of each cave, there are one or two excavated stone pools and artificial slopes, and some have cliff carvings of fish, horses and birds. Everyone who comes here can't help wondering who built such a huge underground grottoes. What is it used for?
If you really go in and visit for yourself, you will be shocked by the huge underground caves. I don't know how such a big cave was dug without modern machinery and equipment in ancient times, and the patterns on the walls were very neat. Whether people look from top to bottom or from bottom to top, there will be a little inexplicable fear, because it is too deep. Don't miss visiting ancient cultural relics.
Have you ever heard of Longyou Grottoes? It can be traced back to 2 12 BC and is the largest ancient underground man-made building in the world. What is left of the underground pyramid group known as the glory of the East? Alien civilization? The megalithic culture created. The carving of twill in the cave and the use of the whole grottoes are still a mystery and intriguing; There are many unexplored caves, the largest of which is more than 2,000 square meters. The chisel marks on the stone wall are clearly visible and the texture is regular. Seeing the pioneering ability of the ancients was not only shocking but also amazing.
