Jiguan Cave is a karst cave in Luanchuan, with stalactites of various shapes and sizes, illuminated with changing lights, and it maintains a pleasant constant temperature year-round.

It is a classic geological wonder in western Henan, with Yuzhu Pool, Yicai Hall, and Diewei Palace being the most worth a close look.

Tips: Mountain attractions are concentrated, and there are many walking sections with large temperature differences and some steep slopes. It is recommended to bring a jacket and wear sports shoes with good grip. Do not rush uphill or downhill; walk steadily and slowly. Always carry your ID and other documents, follow the group throughout, and remember the meeting time and place. Visitors generally feel that Jiguan Cave is worth a close look; listening to explanations and experiencing it yourself are completely different, so it is recommended to do both. Based on past experience, Jiguan Cave is a karst cave with a constant temperature of about 18°C inside, different from the outside temperature; bring a light jacket when entering the cave.

Morning tour: Visit the palace and ancestral temple ruins and the royal tomb area, see oracle bones and large bronze artifacts; have lunch nearby at noon, and in the afternoon visit the new museum to systematically understand Shang civilization.

Attraction Introduction: The route takes it as an important stop. It is the site of the late Shang dynasty capital, the hometown of oracle bones and the Simuwu Ding (Houmuwu Ding), and is listed as a World Heritage site. You can visit the palace and ancestral temple ruins, the royal tomb area, and the chariot and horse pits, and combine this with the new museum to systematically understand Shang civilization, which opens early historical records. Among these, the palace and ancestral temple ruins, royal tombs, and Fu Hao's tomb are the most worthwhile to examine in detail.

Tips: Walking all day involves a fair amount of steps, so it is recommended to wear comfortable sports shoes that fit well, and bring a light jacket according to the weather. Keep your ID and other valid documents with you, follow the guide closely, and remember the meeting times and places. Considering practical situations, when there are many people, it’s easy to focus on taking photos and forget to watch your step. If you walk without taking photos, do so; if you want to photograph, stop walking first. Generally, the ruins area combines open-air sites with exhibition halls, so prepare for sun or cold; the artifacts are precious, so please do not touch the display cases.
