Dual Dragon Caves Tour
金华双龙洞：奇观异景
On any visit to this place, JH, Dual Dragon Caves is a must-see hot spot, which is situated about 18KM almost due north of town.
来金华，双龙洞都是一个必到的热门旅行地，它位于几乎在城区正北18公里左右的地方。
Geographically, Dual Dragon is a complex limestone cave system, in the wilderness, part of the mountain area.
地理上，双龙洞是一个复杂的溶洞系统，是金华大山脉的一部分。
A limestone cave or cavern is a natural cavity that is formed underneath the Earth’s surface that can range from a few meters to many kilometers in length and depth.
溶洞自然形成于地表以下，长度和深度从几米到十几公里不等
with pure underground rivers and amazing limestone crystal formations, Dual Dragon is among the finest and oldest cave systems in our country.
记金华双龙洞有着纯净的地下河和石灰岩结晶体，双龙洞成为我国最精细最古老的溶洞系统。
Visit for a day, or take several days to thoroughly enjoy the awe-inspiring experience! 游玩一两天，能彻底感受大自然的鬼斧神工。
The path to getting there snakes all its way up through the forested mountain, nearly halfway, you come to the parking area. Get off your ride, take a little bit of stroll uphill of the popular choice, A huge limestone arch of about 70 meters at its highest point looms large. And that’s actually where the tour starts. A few more steps, you’re right in the biggest and highest chamber of all this network.
通往双龙洞的山路弯弯曲曲，近半山处，是景区的停车场。下车后，随大流往上走几步，一座巨大石灰岩拱门耸立眼前，在最高处有约70米。实际上，这里才是游玩开始的地方，再往前，走进拱门，你就站在整座山最高最大的洞体内。
It feels quite comfortable with an annually average temperature of 15 degrees Celsius
inside. But a small tunneled underground river gets in the way further in, but it’s also the only way to see the other side. All you need to do is lie flat on the boat bed and be ferried through, nose tip narrowly missing the tunnel ceiling. Breath-Catching!
里面气候宜人，常年平均温度15度左右。挡在外洞和内洞之间有一条很窄的隧
道河，但这也是唯一的进入通道。你只需要在船底平躺，就会被渡到对岸，鼻尖
几乎贴着隧道顶而过，真刺激哦！
And then you will find yourself in a very different spectacular world. But on rare occasions, visitors don’t realize that they are claustrophobic until they are deep underground.
这时候，你发现自己在一个奇异壮观的地下世界。有些时候，到了地底下，游客
会出现幽闭恐怖症状。
But Dual Dragon has been upgraded using the latest lighting technology, enabling you to see them as they have never been seen before. The environmentally friendly lighting system uses minimal power and minimizes heat output, conserving the sensitive cave environment. They are well protected for future generations to enjoy. 不过，双龙洞里面的灯饰系统已用最新的技术升级了，呈现全然不同的景象。环
保设计最大地减少对溶洞的破坏，传承给下一代。
There are many beautiful structures, mainly including stalagmites and stalactites which commonly exist in all this terrain.
溶洞内有很多漂亮地结构体，主要是石笋是钟乳石，在喀斯特地貌中，他们十分
常见。
The visual impact of its huge and richly decorated chambers will astonish you. It’s an outstanding experience that as you move deeper, the cave reveals its beauty - high caverns, exquisite crystal formations and legendary underground rivers. As the only narrow passage is mostly level in the lower labyrinth, you can get a glimpse of the gallery of rare and unusual features. With short but steep sets of stairs, the tour goes on to an increasing level of difficulty in the upper labyrinth, which is actually in part an underground waterway, but don’t expect to get soaked because it has been channeled away. What’s really dazzling you is the glorious waterfall cascading down the sheer face of the rock just about 20 meters above your head, with its thundering sound resonating. As you have shinned up the last length of the steep zigzag stairs,
near the exit of the dizzying heights, you can peer back into the Dual Dragon Cave. And that gives you a sense of achievement.
巨大、装饰精致的洞体给你带来极大的视觉冲击。当你漫步前行，它的魅力一一展现，高大的溶洞，精美结晶体和传说一般的地下河。在迷宫底部，一条唯一的狭窄通道几乎是平直的，沿途奇异景观就像一条艺术走廊。在迷宫的上部，台阶短且陡，观光的路途开始变得艰险。实际上，这条通道是地下河水道的一部分，不用担心会被淋湿，因为水路被引流开了。最让你惊艳的是头顶20米处，从峭壁中空倾注而下的瀑布，雷鸣的声音四处回荡。当你爬上最后一段之字形的台阶，在出口附近头晕目眩的高度，回头往下看双龙洞，会有一些成就感。
Dual Dragon is in fact the mainstay of all this cave system. When you reach the ground, you have a choice. You can either continue the exploration of other lesser caves or take a walk in the fresh air of the forest. Dual Dragon Caves has several excellent bush walks for you to enjoy in this lovely month. As you wander along the narrow and thickly wooded trails, you are likely to spot some native squirrels and grouses. If you explore these walks in the tranquil period between school holidays, you are likely to have the tracks all to yourself, increasing the likelihood of spotting wildlife.
双龙洞是整座山溶洞体系的主要部分，当你回到地面的时候，你有一个选择：继续探索其他的一些小洞，或在树林中散步。双龙洞有好几条非常不错的灌木丛小道，可以尽情享受林中清新空气。当你漫步在这些小径上，你有机会发现一些松鼠和松鸡。如果在校学生都没放假的时候来这里，那么，你可以独自享有这里的宁静，发现更多的野生动物......
Stalactite
Essentially, dripping water from the roof of the cave reacts with carbon-dioxide to form carbonic acid. It then seeps slowly through the roof, depositing calcium carbonate, which hardens and builds up over time to form a stalactite.
钟乳石：溶洞顶部滴水和二氧化碳形成碳酸，慢慢从顶部渗透，沉积成碳酸钙，日积月累逐渐硬化堆积形成。
Stalagmite
Stalagmites are corresponding formations on the floor of caves to stalactites. Stalagmites rise from the floor in a build-up of calcium carbonate over time, from mineral-bearing water dropped from the roof of the cave.
石笋：同钟乳石相对应，溶洞顶的矿物质水坠落到地面，碳酸钙堆积从地面“长出来”。
