Reed Flute Cave

Reed Flute Cave, Guilin The Reed Flute Cave is situated on Guangming Hill, a small hill around 4 kilometers to the northwest of downtown Guilin. It is so called for the fact that a large area of reeds had been grown in this region since ancient times and the reeds had been used for making flutes and pipes.

The cave is about 240 meters deep and visitors will walk for a hour through a zigzagging sea of stalactites and stalagmites. In the multi-color artificial lights, the various rock formations inside form a magic effect. People call this cave a Natural Arts Palace.

The cave is also well-known for its over 70 wall inscriptions from the Tang Period which bear eloquent witness to the cave's long history.
