There is a mysterious island in Hunan. The whole island is almost hollow and contains the world’s tallest stone pillar

For those who like to travel, they climb mountains, cross rivers, and go out of the sea, so they are no strangers to small islands (lakes and islands), or karst caves in karst landforms. After all, these are not rare in China's 9.6 million square kilometers of land. But if there is an island in the lake, a karst cave in the island, and the world's tallest stone pillar in the karst cave, you will feel magical, and even subconsciously say: Is there such a place?

At the intersection of Nanling and Luoxiao Mountains, there is a Yaochi Lake that falls from the sky. Because of the unique landscape of "a lake in the sky on earth, thousands of scenes are in it", it has been the top online card punching place for several years, which is the East Lake of Chenzhou.

The Dongjiang River is surrounded by mountains. The small Dongjiang River hovers in the mountains like a jade belt. It stretches around 18 corners of the Dongjiang River. There are 30 islands in the lake, and the largest one is Dudu Island. The area of Doupi Island is as much as 6 square kilometers, which is not the characteristic of Doupi Island. The most amazing thing is that the island is basically empty, because there is a karst cave with a length of about 6 kilometers and an area of more than 65000 square meters, which is called Doupi Lingyan. I'm afraid there is only one cave in such a huge island in the world, and there is the highest stone pillar in the cave at one time – 36 meters.

Of course, you need to take a boat to go to Dou Pi Island, and the dock where the boat berths is located below the mouth of Dou Pi Ling Rock.

Doubi Lingyan is a huge limestone karst cave formed over 320 million years. It is said that it is composed of 18 caves connected with each other. It is famous for its high, large, majestic, strange, deep and spacious, and is known as "Zhong Ling Yu Xiu, the wonder of the universe".

The entrance of Dou Pi Ling Yan is in the south of the island. After landing on the island, you will first see an ancient temple Guanyin Hall. According to the records, it was built in the Qianlong period. Not far from the mountain path, there is an ancient building with a four-character plaque hanging "Dou Pi Ling Yan", which is the entrance of the cave.

When you enter the cave, you feel refreshed. After all, it is warm in winter and cool in summer. At the entrance platform, you can see that the cave is very large, with stalactites all over the cave and strange shapes. There are stone pillars holding the sky, and there are flying dragons and phoenix. Under the light of color lights, you feel you have entered a fairyland.

See the Hall of Happiness and Longevity before the clock milk. There are colorful statues of the stars of happiness and longevity in the hall, which are very beautiful.

Along the path in the cave, stalactites of different shapes are densely distributed. The road is sometimes narrow for only one person to pass through, and sometimes the view is wide. The height is unknown. It is estimated that the distance to the top of the cave is nearly 100 meters, and there are still dripping lava on the top of the cave. The stalactites should continue to grow.

All the way, I was amazed by the amazing nature. Some of the stone pillars are large and several meters in diameter; Some are like a huge waterfall falling from the sky, and the texture of the water flow is clear and recognizable; Some grow from top to bottom like bamboo shoots; There are also lifelike birds and animals, and more unique stone pillars like actinolites

The stone mantles, pillars and flowers in Doubiling Rock have a common feature – large, which is said to be "the highest in the world". The 36-meter-high pillar is the highest in the world.

According to the data, if it is the rainy season, there is running water in the whole tunnel, and the underground river falls at the slope break, forming a waterfall. The scenery is even more amazing. When I came here, it was said that Hunan had not rained for more than 80 days, leaving some regrets.

The experts of the United Nations Karst Cave Association call it "the labyrinth of the underground nature" and "the first cave in the world". But Lao Jin believes that the most magical thing about it is that the Doubiling Rock is located on an island in the lake, while the island is hollow. As tourists, we may be watching the scenery under the water, and its world's tallest stone pillar is in such a place. Is there anything more amazing than this?

"The caves in the world are similar, but this cave is different". Perhaps this is the proudest place of Dou Piao Island. Although the East Lake is beautiful, if you miss Dou Piao Lingyan in the island, you still need not go to the East Lake!
