Many places in the Western Cape wowed me. South Africa is simply a stunning place filled with nature beauties and wonders. One of them is the Cango Caves.
南非康戈溶洞群:化石“冰”
The Cango Caves are located in Precambrian limestones at the foothills of the Swartberg range in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. The principal cave is one of the country's finest, best known and most popular tourist caves and attracts many visitors from overseas.
The Cango Caves is one of the worlds great natural wonders, sculptured by nature through the ages - fascinating limestone formations in a wide variety of colours. An underground wonder world
康戈溶洞群於1780年發現,當時人們隻能深入洞內幾十米,現在遊客走至200米之遠。在主洞“波塔廳”裏最吸引人的當然也是鍾乳石和石筍,由它們合成的石柱看去像“結成冰的瀑布”。這個名字並不是隨便起的,在人造光的照射下,確實給人一種“罕見冰柱”的印象。
The present tourist route extends for 1,2km into the cave, with a further 4,1km being kept closed to the public for conservation reasons.
有點我們貴州龍宮的味道。不過龍宮中有一條小河,可以讓遊客順水而下,一路觀光,更是別有一番風味。
Quite hot and humid inside.
