	Zhijin Cave
	Zhijin Cave is the lagest cave in China and among the biggest in the world.
Zhijin Cave (Chinese: 织金洞；pinyin: Zhījīn Dòng): Zhijin Cave extends for over 12.1 kilometers (about 7.52 miles) into limestone hills. It ranks as the largest cave in China and among the biggest in the world. Paths and stairways link the cave between fossilized waterfalls and elephantine stalactites and stalagmites. Zhijin Cave is also called Daji Cave (Hit Rooster Cave). Its enormous area spans 307 square kilometers (about 118.5 square miles), with a length of 12.1 kilometers (about 7.52 miles) and a width of 175 meters (about 0.11 miles). It is not only large in scale but also rich in variety. Because of the huge bizarre stalactite in the Zhijin Cave, it is called the 'Museum of Karsts' and there are more than forty kinds of karst formations in it. The whole cave feels like a huge underground palace and is one of the six most beautiful caves in China.
