Reed Flute Cave (Ludi Yan)

The adventure commences at the spellbinding Reed Flute Cave. Tucked within the karst terrain, this underground paradise is truly a sight to behold. As you enter, you'll find yourself surrounded by a fantastical showcase of nature's craftsmanship. Stalagmites ascend from the floor, stalactites dangle from the ceiling, and stone columns, curtains, and flowers craft a dreamlike setting. Thanks to the eco-friendly neon illumination, the cave's allure is heightened, bringing out intricate details and vivid hues. Ancient murals and inscriptions dating back some 1,300 years to the Tang Dynasty add an extra layer of historical allure, enabling you to peek into the past as you wander through this natural gem.

Following that, make your way to the renowned Elephant Trunk Hill, one of Guilin's most emblematic landmarks. The instant you set eyes on it, you'll grasp why it's so named – its form is an uncanny likeness of an elephant lowering its trunk into the Li River. However, the charm of this hill extends well beyond its distinctive shape. Steeped in local folklore and legends, it exudes an air of mystery and charm. Enveloped by idyllic scenery, Elephant Trunk Hill presents perfect opportunities for taking stunning photos and allows you to fully absorb the splendor of Guilin's natural vistas.
