Ludi Cave (Reed Flute Cave) Photos: Trip Moments
Mesmerizing beauty of Reed Flute CavesThe Reed Flute Caves in Guilin are a stunning natural attraction that is not to be missed. The caves are named after the reeds that grow outside, which are used to make flutes, and have been a popular destination for tourists for over 1,200 years. The caves are filled with a variety of rock formations, including stalactites, stalagmites, and columns, that have been formed over millions of years by the natural processes of erosion and mineral deposition. The various formations are illuminated with a range of colorful lights, creating a mesmerizing and otherworldly atmosphere. Visitors can explore the caves on a guided tour, which typically lasts about an hour and covers a distance of about 240 meters. The tour takes visitors through a series of different chambers, each with its own unique geological features and lighting effects. Highlights include the Crystal Palace, which is filled with sparkling stalactites and stalagmites, and the Dragon Pagoda, which features a towering rock formation that resembles a pagoda. In addition to the stunning rock formations, the Reed Flute Caves also feature a range of inscriptions and artwork that date back to the Tang Dynasty. Visitors can view these ancient carvings and paintings, which offer a glimpse into the history and culture of the region.KadeeChi19

Picturesque Caves in GuilinReed Flute Cave is a cave-based scenic spot located in the northwest suburb of Guilin, Guangxi, China, 5 km from the Guilin city center. It is about 240 meters (787ft) deep and 500 meters (1640ft) long. The cave has a great number of various exquisite stalagmites, stalactites, stone pillars and stone curtain, which have been forming since 180 million years ago. Guilin is a wonderful city to visit and if it is raining or sunny, this is a suitable place to visit. If you take a taxi from the center, you will arrive here in fifteen minutes. The entrance fee is not expensive and you can wonder around taking wonderful photographs to see the different colours and textures. Suitable for going with families too. Tip: Bring a light jacket because it can be chilly - around 17 degrees. #guilin #caveGraeme (高天乐Photographer)4

The Stunning Limestone Formations of Reed Flute CaveThe mountains and caves of Guilin, Yangshuo and other places in China are made of limestone, also known as karst formations. These formations are made from millions of years of dissolving and redeposition of limestone by flowing water. The variety of shapes and sizes of the formations is vast and will leave you wondering how they can possibly be natural. What i found amazing was how silent it was in the cave. We couldn't hear anything apart from drips of water and it felt almost unnaturally quiet. #newyearadventureDomeld45

Cave Art in GuilinThe Reed Flute Caves in Guilin were one of the many stops that I made time for during a whirlwind three-day vacation. Located in the northwest area of the city of Guilin, the Reed Flute Caves are said to go about 240m deep. Within, there are a huge number of stalagmites and stalactites, stone pillars and more that form this humongous and stunning geological formation. Of course, the rainbow lights that decorate every corner and surface of the cave really adds to the atmosphere, and makes it more like a work of light art. In total, you will probably only need about 1-2 hours to tour the Reed Flute Cave, so it's easy to pack into a busy day of sightseeing.

Reed Flute Cave is a fairy taleThe reed flute cave is an underworld, at the entrance to which you plunge into a real fairy tale✨🧚♀️ Initially, visit this cave was not in my plans, for some reason I imagined it to be a very small and boring cave, where you can get around everything in 5 minutes. But it was not!!! It turns out that the reed flute cave is the largest karst cave in China, its length is 500 meters and a depth of about 250 meters. And in order to go around all the "halls" it took an hour. I even managed to freeze😅 A special atmosphere was given by the multi-colored illumination of stalactites and stalagmites. So, thanks to the unusual natural beauty and bright lighting, this place turned into something magical✨ I was pleased that everything did not go according to plan and I saw such beauty with my own eyes! It took around 30-40 minutes by taxi from the airport. Ticket is 90 rmb per person. #awesomepic #travelinspiration #cave #china #guilin #reedflutecave #tripinspired #triplocal #tripaway # #unforgettableexperiences#awesomepic#summervacationAurora39

StalactitesHave you ever heard of the middle east folklore tale Alibaba and the 40 thieves; where the treasure 💰 is hidden inside the cave. What if I say, they do have a similar cave in China, well don't get ready for your gold rush 😛; it is again a folklore tale told in Guilin about the Reed flute cave with lot of treasure hidden inside. In my eyes, the richness lies in the cave's beauty itself; where it is upto your imagination to get the most out of it. This largest karst cave is located some 80 kilometres 🚗 away from the main city at the Lipu county. You can take a taxi and reach here; and the entrance fee 🎟 is 80 rmb. The flying waterfall 💧 section is a must see one; while the other sections gives you different perspective of shapes of the cave. A good spot to spend a day, if you're in Guilin. #chinatravel #couplestrip #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorerAaru 裴儒5

Guangxi ExpeditionGuangxi has a lot to offer from mountains to Detien water falls and Minshi village. 🏞 Nature is what Guangxi is all about Detien waterfalls, Rice field in Guilin, and the cosmic Reed flute caves. definitely a lot to see ⛩ Ancient architecture is also very easy to see. many old streets and neighbourhoods can be found dotted around. Nanning the capital has a nice pedestrian area with old buildings. And Beihai has a good place to see an old colonial street with French and English architecture. 🍜 Food in Guangxi is a little sweet, fresh and light. coconut hotpot is a must try, as well as stir fried rice, with local steamed fish. Every town and city has a different way to prepare these dishes. but they are all very good! ⛪️ Weizhou Island is also close by with a well preserved French Church almost no one talks about. The nature and the scenery is amazing. 🙂 #nanning #nature #mountains #waterfall #hiking #urbanexplorer #MaydayTrip #HappyLabordayJurajiva96

Karst Peak Paradise. From rafting down the Li River to hiking karst hills, Guilin is a great mix of city and nature. In just three days, I was able to witness the beauty of the karst hills in Guilin, marvel at the underground caves featuring huge stalactites and stalagmite formations in the Reed Flute Cave, hike up Diecai Hill for a magnificent view of the city against the multitude of peaks, as well as browse a local market and walk around Elephant Trunk Hill. There’s so much for explore here, and would certainly be worth another trip to uncover even more gems this city has to offer. #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravelMichaela (@uncoveringcities)7
Guilin has the most beautiful karst landform in the world, and Reed Flute Cave is a concrete manifestation of this landform. One million years ago, Reed Flute was originally an ancient underground lake. Due to the elevation of the crust movement, the groundwater level dropped and the underground lake became a cave. After years of accumulation of rock calcification, it forms a variety of stalactites. Reed Flute Cave is an important part of the entire Lijiang River Scenic Area. It has the karst features of nature and the beautiful scenery of Guilin. The stone pillars, stone plaques, stone branches, stone flowers and stone waterfalls complement each other. It is called an underground art of nature.Enjoyourtrip.4

Known as "Guobin Cave", it is indeed very beautiful and very good experience. You must have a scenic spot in Guangxi. You can go to the surrounding mountains when you have time and the weather is good.
You can use it in an hour after placing the order. You can directly brush the QR code to the scenic spot without changing tickets. The inside of the Reed Flute Karst Cave is still good, but the scale is not large. You can end up playing in about 30~40 minutes. There is a tour guide to explain (including this ticket)
It is worth going to a place, the four seasons are very suitable to go, it is a spectacle, I will definitely go again next time, I will not forget it. Next time I go to Guilin, Guangxi, I will still go to Reed Flute Rock. Trip.com also provides a platform for buying tickets in advance.
The scenery is beautiful, there are not many people, the inside is very big, the official supporting facilities are not complete, the commercial atmosphere is too strong! This attraction does not have a travel agency group, very clean, not far from Guilin city, convenient to travel!
Very beautiful Reed Flute Rock Scenic Area, national AAAA tourist scenic spot, natural landscapes of nature and magical work, it is worth admiring, you must go to Guilin to see. Reed Flute Rock Scenic Area is about 6Km from the city center, and it can be reached by taxi from 10 yuan to 12 yuan, and the transportation is convenient. Guilin has many caves, but it is recommended to prefer reed flute rock.
Reed Flute Rock is a bit far from Guilin City, and it took nearly 30 yuan to take a taxi. Then after arriving at the parking lot, many people advised me to buy a small train, and advised everyone not to sit, and walked for 10 minutes. The overall landscape is not much different from other caves, but the scenery of Crystal Palace is very beautiful. More humane is that there are tour guides to explain, and singing mountain songs, listening more happily, it is still recommended to play.
Reed Flute Rock is in the north of Guilin City. It takes about 20 minutes to drive from the city center. The small train in the parking lot under the mountain is not recommended. In fact, the mountain is a 10-minute walk from the cave. In addition, there is a little online ticket purchase that must be bought one hour in advance, otherwise you can't check the ticket. There is a tour guide to explain the whole process in the cave. The warm winter and cool summer experience is very good. I took a photo in the West Travel Notes location and sent a free photo keychain. Overall it is great!
Political figures from various countries punch in. The cave is very good, the distance is relatively flat, suitable for the elderly and children, there is a place inside is relatively large, the scenery is also very beautiful. Dinghai Shenzhen is quite good, there is also a free explanation, you can also travel freely.
