Upon entering the cave, the guide provided a detailed introduction to geological knowledge such as the formation principle of karst landforms, the classification and characteristics of karst caves, and the growth process of stalactites. The students listened with great interest and from time to time let out exclamations of amazement. The variously shaped stalactites and strangely shaped cave landscapes inside the cave left the students dadazzling. They all took out their notebooks to record what they saw and heard, and from time to time asked the guide questions, showing a strong thirst for knowledge.
