To sum up, Zhijindong Cave owns the systematicness and completeness of evolution of karst cave and is the most distinctive natural scenery and an important area with aesthetic value among cave karst, which stands out from numerous caves listed in the World Geopark internet and World Natural Heritage Directory. It has been highly praised by Feng Mu in his poem, famous contemporary writer and literature critic. His poem goes as below: “Back from the visit to Huangshan Mountain, you have no interest for other mountains. The same is true of Zhijindong Cave”. It has been ranking the first of “The most beautiful cave in China” selected by Chinese National Geography magazine. For this reason, Mr. Salamon, president of International Union of Speleology and French Karst Unions said after his investigation:“Zhijindong Cave is an outstanding model among karst caves. I will recommend it to my friends in Speleology.”


“Back from the visit to Huangshan Mountain, you have no interest for other mountains. The same is true of Zhijindong Cave. The places visited look really like a holy place where gods and angels used to live. So I began to believe that the heaven palace can be found in the world of mankind.”
The poem is written to express my sincere thanks for those people who developed and designed Zhijindong Cave Geopark, and after my visit, I believed Zhijindong Cave ranks No. 1 among all caves in China.
