Halfway up a hill just east of Yanziya lies Yanzidong, a cave famous
for its golden swallows. A short 50 metre climb up from the road leads
to the entrance - the cave itself heads backwards into the mountain
for more than 3 kilometres. One of the few swallows that doesn't migrate
seasonally, the golden swallow inhabits the cave all year round.
Standing inside the entrance, you will breathe in the damp air
and watch steam rising from the walls, which gleam like glass. Above
hang the birds' nests, warm and dry.
Outside the cave you can watch the swallows dancing in the air,
and diving in and out of their dark home. |
