Cane flute cave

Guilin is a picturesque ancient city located in southern China. For its beautiful landscapes and nature, the Chinese very often call Guilin “the most beautiful city in China.” The main attraction of the city is the Cane Flute Cave - the largest karst cave with magnificent stalactites. It is impossible to remain indifferent to the beauty of these underground halls. The cave reaches a depth of 240 meters, and the human foot first stepped here 1300 years ago!

The cave was discovered during the Tang Dynasty, when the power of the Great Chinese Empire reached the highest degree. Legend has it that the cave was opened by a simple peasant who wandered around and suddenly fell through the ground. This crevice was the entrance to the cave.

The famous karst cave was formed over 180 million years ago. Many thousands of years ago there was an ocean here. Then, as a result of natural disasters, the water went away, and fantastic mountains with amazing gorges, strange crevices, deep grottoes and caves rose to the surface. And the name "Cave of the Reed flute" appeared due to the fact that the local residents made flutes from the nearby reed growing.
