This is my second visit to Baoji Snow Cave
Whether it is Xueshan Cave or Baoji Diaoyutai scenic spot, it is a hot spot on the Internet in summer, with huge stone elephants and seven-story demon towers; Free scenic spot, leisure walking; Constitutes one of the destinations of our trip - Snow Cave; Stone dam waterfall, mountain stream clear waves; Humanistic history, the same type of photography (BaizhangJI the same type of card).
Every time after rain, the dam body releases unprecedented amounts of water, forming a shocking waterfall landscape, which is the best place to shoot the same popular videos of Baizhangji.
Diaoyutai is located on the Baojipan River, with Qinling Mountain in the south and Wei River in the north. Jiang Ziya, a famous scholar of the Western Zhou Dynasty, lived in seclusion here for ten years.
The Snow Cave belongs to a secluded valley, a natural deep place few people go. The Snow Mountain cave is a natural formation, 23 meters deep, 5 meters high, much like the original site of the nine-story demon tower in "Tomb Raiding Notes", the seven-story cave pavilions are built against the mountain, shaped like towers, beautiful and spectacular.
In the snow cave is also hidden a boulder elephant, elephant trunk lying on the ground as if drinking water, very suitable for card photos!
What still attracts me here is the huge stone elephant in the deep, and unlike the last time, the giant elephant's trunk has been put a lot of change for the blessed fruit. The stone elephant is about 12 meters tall, has a nose 8 meters long, weighs about 500 tons, and its ivory is wrapped with red prayer ribbons, but who built it is still a mystery.
According to legend, in 1174 AD, Qiu Chuji had practiced here for several years, and it was also the holy land of Quanzhen School, and there was an abandoned "nine-story demon tower" at the entrance of the scenic spot, which could not be entered due to disrepair. The "Nine-story Demon Pagoda" is actually a very inconspicuous Taoist temple located in Baoji City. In fact, this tower is built by the mountain with a total of seven layers, and the time is so long that it can go up to a total of two layers, and it is quite good to go around outside.
I feel that I am in the "Sword Wizard", the building is in disrepair and there is "terror breath" everywhere, and I did not continue to go up when I reached the second floor. Overall, it was a rare experience.
The seven-story cave pavilion is built on the mountain, standing outside looks like a tower, so it is nicknamed the seven-story demon Tower, here was originally a Taoist temple, each small unit room is dedicated to a Taoist power, whether what is suppressed below is unknown, in short, full of mystery.
📍 How to get there: no big traffic, can only drive, the gate parking lot is limited, you can park on the roadside after full, but be sure to pay attention to safety.
💰 Admission: free.
🔸tips: Snow cave is very cool, the stream at the entrance has become a weekend summer paradise for Baoji people, want to see the giant elephant along the main road, after a house, at the right steps into the mountain, about 10 minutes on foot can see. On the Internet can not find information about the elephant builder, there are friends who know welcome to solve the confusion oh.
Here to the old Taoist invited blessing belt, hoping to add a contribution to the existence of thousands of years of ancient Taoist temple, but also hope that our ancient buildings can continue to survive. Because of the fresh air and beautiful environment, I met many rare birds, and there was an indescribable light feeling when I went down the mountain.
