Located almost 6km (4 miles) northwest of Guilin city, the Reed Flute Cave goes 240 meters (790ft) into the mountain. The name of the cave derived from reed grass, which grows in front of the cave and is used to make flutes. The grass covered the entrance to the cave, so the people of the area used this cave for many centuries as a hideout in times of war.

The cave is filled with many bizarre stalactites and stalagmites and visitors will enjoy using their imagination to name and bring to life the many different shapes and forms. The cave is a part of the Reed Flute Park and visitors can join different walking tours that are conducted in Chinese.

Across from the entrance of the cave are paths leading to a peak from which visitors can enjoy a stunning view of the countryside.
