Reed Flute Cave

Situated at the foot of Guangming Hill in the western Guilin, Reed Flute Cave adopted its name after a kind of reed growing in the neighborhood, which can be made into melodious flute.

It is a splendid karst cave with a myriad of stalactites and stalagmites of all strange shapes: some like lionS, some like frogs and some like a crystal palace. What impress visitors most here are the stone curtains, which not only boast fantastic forms but resonant sounds. When struck, some give a booming sound as a drum; others produce a ring sound like a piano. The forms and sounds here make the cave "the art palace of the nature".

First officially opened to the public in 1962, the cave now is a main attraction in Guilin. It is an fantastic place where imagination will fly with strong wings. It is of course a must for all the visitors to Guilin.
