Reed Flute Cave in Guilin, China was discovered during the Tang Dynasty almost 1,300 years ago.
Far below the Earth’s surface, where the sun rarely penetrates, is a world of twinkling glow worms, precious gems and limestone caves and mountains, a land inhabited by nature alone. Within this world are visions to rival many landscapes decorating our horizon; lakes lie still and calm, great networks of caves know no borders, and rivers and rivulets carve an ever-evolving terrain.
