Introduction

Reed Flute Cave lies northwest of Guilin in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, a karst cave in millennial limestone named for the reed grass once used for flutes at its mouth. Inside, stalactites, stalagmites and curtains glow in colored light in countless shapes — called 'the Palace of Natural Art.' A looping walkway reveals changing vistas; with Seven-Star Cave it's one of Guilin's two great caves, exemplifying the region's 'fabulous caves.'
