Photos of Reed Flute Cave In China
Hi.
This is awesome! Hope I got a chance to visit this cave one day.
Reed Flute Cave is a natural limestone cave in the Guangxi province
of China. Its name is derived from a variety of naturally abundant reed
that grows throughout the area, which can be used to make flutes. The
Reed Flute Cave boasts bodies of water, extraordinary stalagmite and
stalactite formations, as well as a number of ink inscriptions dating
back to the 8th century.
The sheer number of rock formations, paired with their variance in form and color, has led to the cave being deemed "The Palace of Natural Arts. Age of the cave is more than 180 million years. Scientists have found that these places were occupied by the ocean millions of years ago. Over time, the water receded revealing some amazing caves; the most interesting and unique among them is Reed Flute Cave.
The Reed Flute cave is a 787ft (240m) long water-eroded cave, featuring a fascinating collection of stalactites, stone pillars and rock formations created by carbonate deposition. Many of the formations in the cave have been compared to recognisable shapes of mythological creatures and natural images. For instance, there is a formation that looks like the Statue of Liberty.
Rock formation has been given a poetic name by the Chinese. For instance, you have the Crystal Palace, the Virgin Forest, Dragon Pagoda, and the Flower Mountain
