As usual we saw another L-shaped sign, but labeled with “Fairy Cave” outside the cave.

Since we have spent hours in Wind Cave, it was already 4:45 pm when we arrived at Fairy Cave.  The sky turned dark and it seemed that it was going to rain.

In order to enter the cave, the visitors have to climb up the 4-stories concrete staircase.  I was taking photos all the way, and when we almost reached the top, it started drizzling.  At that time, SiewPeng and I were discussing if we were going to proceed or turn our way back.  We have thought about our safety.

Less than a few minutes, the rain stopped and we proceeded.

Next to the properly built roofed-concrete-staircase, I saw another very narrow staircase.  It must be the route used by visitors in the older days.  I wonder if it is still being used nowadays.

Opps …  there is another staircase about 1 story high after the 4 stories staircase.  This part is not roofed.

This is the top view of the 4 stories staircase.

Finally we arrived at the entrance of the Fairy Cave.

Right at the entrance, we were welcomed by the healthily grown moss and fern.  They have got sufficient sunlight and water.

There is another tricky area before we reach the beautiful place in the cave.  We need to climb up another 2 small almost 90 degrees staircases in the cave.  That is the only place which is quite dark, but torch light may not be necessary because we can still see a bit of light from the top.  Later I will show you the balcony of this cave which allows the light to get into the cave.

Another thing about this cave is that these two staircases are not only narrow, but also wet all the time.  My long pants were dirtied by some mud after I went through these staircases.

You can imagine how I carried a heavy tripod and went through the narrow part.

After the narrow part, we reached a very wide open area of the cave which I think the inner length or diameter might be more than 50 meters - 100 meters.
