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.
