1 could in no way imagine that our mother earth right beneath her surface keeps a land really inhabited by nature without any human intervention. There are underground silent lakes, twinkling and glowing landscapes and mysterious but glorious networks of caves.
The Reed Flute Cave in Guilin, Guangxi, China is a 180 million years old organic sedimentary cave which glows in selection of colors and it is over 240 meters in length. With quite close exit and entry spots the course of the cave is U-shaped and it is grabbing the folks’s focus for over 1200 years. It was named as Reed Flute Cave due to the variety of reed increasing outdoors, by which harmonious and melodic flutes are becoming carved given that centuries. Even these days the locals make the flutes from the reed and sell to guests.
The most prominent feature of the Reed Flute Cave are the stalactites, stalagmites, and columns existing inside the cave which had been developed by the dripping water in thousands of years. Scientifically these formations can be understood that every single drop of water falling on the rocks is containing a extremely modest amount of calcium carbonate and right after striking the floor of the cave it also leaves a modest calcium carbonate deposit and in the end it creates a stalagmite. Some of them with continuous method altogether shape a column. Some amazing formations seem like the forest of crystal trees, some resemble like underground mountain ranges. Even some of them have grown like mythological creatures and some have quite gullible and friendly appearances.
The Red Flute Cave has also 70 ancient stone inscriptions inside which have been engraved in forms of the travelogues and poetry by Tang Dynasty pedagogues, probably as the marks of their contemplations and meditations. A park is also constructed for the cave comprising of zigzag path, magnificent pavilions, ponds, bridges, plants and other garden structures.
