织金洞位于贵州西部的织金县境内，距省会贵阳１５２公里，距贵州西线旅游中心安顺１２２公里，距织金县城２３公里，是１９８８年国务院审定公布的第二批国家级重点风景名胜区，又是中国旅游胜地四十佳之一，与红枫湖、龙宫、黄果树三个国家级风景名胜区共同形成黄金风景旅游环线。
　　织金洞风景名胜区，以织金洞为主体，是贵州喀斯特地貌最为丰富的区域。总面积３０７平方公里，包括织金洞景区、织金洞古城区、洪家渡高原平湖区、裸结河景区。喀斯特地貌形成的自然景观，宋、元、明、清以来的人文景观，浓郁的民族风情，构成了别开生面、独具一格的风光。
　　织金洞是一个多层次、多阶段、多类别、多形态的完整岩溶系统，是目前世界上已经开发作为旅游溶洞的佼佼者之一。洞内相对高差150多米，最宽跨度175米，洞内一般高宽均在６０至１００米之间，总面积达７０多万平方米，堆积物的高度平均在４０米左右，最高堆积物有７０米，比世界之最的古巴马丁山溶洞最高的石笋还要高７米多。从洞的体积和堆积物的高度上讲，它比一直誉冠全球并列为世界旅游溶洞前六名的法国、南斯拉夫等欧洲国家的溶洞要大两三倍。
　　织金洞以规模大、气势磅礴称雄于世。洞内的碳酸钙沉积物堆积类别达４０多种，囊括了当今世界溶洞堆积物的各种形态类别，它不仅有奇异独特的具像形物态美，甚可乱真，而且因堆积物形态的多变，构成了不同层次复杂的画面。根据不同的景观和特点，全洞划分为迎宾厅、讲经堂、寿星宫、望山湖、广寒宫、灵宵殿、雪香宫、塔林洞、十万大山、水乡泽国和金鼠宫等１２个大景区，４７个厅堂。

　　灵霄殿　洞中最美景区之一。两侧石壁垂下数十米宽的巨大五彩石幔，金碧辉煌，宛若天宫幔幕。景区的中央有“瑶池”，池中“擎天一柱”如雕如镂，气势非凡。占地最大的“玉皇大帝”、“华表”、“仙鹤”、“玉龙”、“神女舆蛇”等数十个雪白的滴石群落，尤为绝妙景物。
　　雪香宫　又名水晶宫。岩溶堆积物表面皆白色，满目雪原，冰柱高挂，一派北国风光。数道石屏绯红青黛，上有数十面钟旗，击之音律悦耳。“石竹园”内一百余枝石笋参差密布，“卷曲石”群体晶莹透亮，自由弯曲，有的横生，有的倒长。
　　塔林洞　有钙化塔山百余座，有的光滑至顶，有的层状耸立，塔身金黄，远观如“金塔之城”。金塔间又遍布种种奇特景物，最著名者有两株相映的石松，一株高５米，呈标准等腰三角形，片状滴石附生于主干为叶片；另一株高１７米，从托盘中拔地而起，树冠上层如积雪，称为“雪压青松”，均为洞中之国宝。景区内著名景物还有“倒挂琵琶”、“石鼓”、“剑门关”、“影泉”等。
　　十万大山　洞中最宏大景区，群峰起伏连绵，滴石变幻多姿，有奇妙的“金鸡独立”、“螺旋树”、“白玉宫”等景观。
　　织金洞自开放以来，凡参观过它的人，无不叹为观止，被各学科的中外专家学者称为：“行星上一大奇观”、“宇宙的地下艺术宝库”、“天下第一洞”、“地下天宫”、“溶洞之王”。
　　地质学家孙大光先生说：“国宝还不够，应该称为球宝。”
　　谷牧副总理参观后题词：“黄山归来不看岳，织金洞外无洞天，琅环胜地瑶池境，始信天宫在人间。”
　　国务院副总理钱其琛游览织金洞后题词：“游过织金洞，方知洞中奇。地下看世界，洞中别有天。”

　The sights to be seen inside the caves are indeed spectacular and the cave systems there are rock formations of almost every conceivable kind, all of outstanding beauty, Besides the large number and variety of formations that have been produced in the normal karstic, there are also some extremely convoluted and rare rock formations, gypsum cave swards, enormous transparent blossom stalagmites, beautifully-formed pebbles, fungus-shaped stone and an underground pagoda-shaped and pinnacled curtain of stupendous scale.

　Zhijin Cave includes ten parts with 47 galleries inside and with all kinds of limestone formations. The total space is 350000 sq meters. The patterns of karst accumulation include many shapes and formations. The magnitude of its scale makes it unique in the world. The whole scenic area consists of four parts: the ancient town of Zhijin, the Zhijin Cave, the Jiehe River and Hongjiadu Ferry.
　In this huge underground palace, visitors can see various waterfalls, huge stone curtains, stone flowers, stone pillars, stonewalls, even stone flags and stone brushes. It is hard for anyone to describe this wonder of nature and nature has made them so vivid and so splendid that when coming in, visitors are as dazzled and excited as if stepping into a fairyland. One seems to see the Crystal Palace of the Dragon King or the Gorgeous Southern Gate of the Heaven, or the Fairies and Immortals. It all depends on one's imagination.
　In the cave, visitors feel they are stepping into a stone world and there are forests, mountains, rivers, valleys, waterfalls, caves in cave or above cave, even a pastoral land. And here and there one can see stone bridges, terraced fields and zigzagging paths leading to a further place. Visitors are often enthralled and intoxicated by the powerful scenery in the cave. Visitors have to remember the size of this underground world, and only half of the parts are open to the tourists. It takes at least three hours to enjoy most of the 47 galleries. There are always some strange looking stone formations or unexpected surprises.
