Reed Flute Cave, Show cave in Xiufeng District, China
The Reed Flute Cave extends 240 meters in length with three entrances and contains an underground lake illuminated by artificial lighting.
Inscriptions dating from 792 AD during the Tang Dynasty cover the cave walls, while in the 1940s refugees used it as shelter during World War II.
The stalactites and rock formations inside receive names from Chinese literature, including a formation connected to the Dragon King from Journey to the West.
Admission costs 110 CNY for adults over 140 cm tall, 55 CNY for children between 120-140 cm, and remains free for those under 120 cm.
The cave takes its name from the reeds growing near its entrance, which local craftspeople transform into musical instruments.
