Zibo City is located in central Shandong province, it consist of 4 districts. this cave is located in BoShan District, it's called coral cave, and it stretches a few hundred meters underneath the mountains. inside you can see large and magnificent formations of stalagmites & stalactites, wherein some of them even look different kinds of formations, like buddha, dragon and i even found one resembles to alien features. all of it of course are formed naturally.


Zibo is abundant with travelling resources. Linzi in the east is the national historic and cultural city, with the worldly rare Funerary Horse Pit of the East Zhou Dynasty and the Chinese Ancient Chariot Museum which ranks high in China. In the middle is the former residence of Pu Songling, the world greatest short-story teller. In the southern mountain area there is the group of the water-eroded caves and the natural scenic area stretching continuously for dozens of kilometers, including the remains of the Qi Great Wall preceding the wall of the Qin Dynasty. On the northern plain there is the Mata Lake, which is also called the southern scenery in the north, and the natural sights of the lower reaches of the Yellow River. In the west lies Zhoucun City, the First Village in the world,as the Hometown of Silk and the base for light textile, which reproduces the elegant demeanor of the historic town of commerce.

Hello Anthony

You have used some quite interesting colours for this shot, the idea is good as well.
It doesn't exactly tell me anything geographical, but still such a beautiful cave.
I feel there might be a slight blur in the photo, not much but I get the feeling.
Also the frame works great, the way it looks like a torn postcard really looks good.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Anthony, I like too much the colors in blue surrounded by land tones. The texture also is nice.
Merry Christmas!

very good colours

This is a neat picture Anthony. The combination of textures and colors is nice, and the POV well chosen to make the cave look huge. Well done.

Bonjour Anthony,
Décidément, la nature m'étonnera toujours ! Il existe la nature à l'air libre qui réjouit nos yeux, mais il y a aussi les entrailles de la terre qui nous comble de bonheur en voyant ce spectacle merveilleux.
Excellentes fêtes de Noël, mon ami Anthony.
Amitiés.
Philippe
