Woke up early in the morning and headed for 九乡洞 (Jiuxiang Cave), a national scenic zone in Yiliang County, 90km away from Kunming. It is famous for its 100 or so limestone caves of transcendent proportions. The jouney took about 2.5 hour and it's nearly lunch when we reached Jiuxiang. Decided to have lunch first before going to 九乡洞 (Jiuxiang Cave).
Had lunch at this restaurant near 九乡洞 (Jiuxiang Cave) and this is the spread. Not bad ya?
We then proceeded to 九乡洞 (Jiuxiang Cave) after the meal.
Finally reached Jiuxiang scenic spot.
Engraved Rock at entrance of Jiuxiang scenic spot.
Now, we are ready to walk the many steps down to the cave!
Lovely Flowers while heading for the cave beneath.

Me inside 九乡洞 (Jiuxiang Cave) with waterfalls.
So surreal.
Exhibits displayed inside 九乡洞 (Jiuxiang Cave).
The journey out of the cave is really bad. More than 300 steps to climb up. Mummy was not used to the altitude at Yunnan and vomitted whilst climbing up the stairs. There were sedans carrying people up but she insisted on climbing up herself cos wanna it be an experience for her. Well, I must say that, it is quite an experience! Anyway, after the tormenting 300 steps, we are finally out of the cave. As we were at the other end on top of the cave, got to take the
Cable Car ride out of 九乡洞 (Jiuxiang Cave).
View from Cable Car ride.
Was really tiring after visiting 九乡洞 (Jiuxiang Cave) and because we were supposed to go to 石林 (Stone Forests) the next day, we decided not to go back to Kunming. Instead, we stayed over at the Jiuxiang town. Was lodged at their best hotel but the standard really quite bad. The restaurant service also quite lousy but heard from Jiaxing that at Jiuxiang itself, that is the best hotel already.
No activity there at night. Slept early so as to be ready to go Stone Forests tomorrow morning...
