It is a scenic spot mainly for visiting caves and supplemented by viewing the mountains, rivers and rural scenery. It is a shining pearl of Guilin's landscape.
The stalactites in the cave are magnificent and varied, and are characterized by being exquisite, magnificent and illusory.
The widest and most beautiful part of Reed Flute Cave is the Crystal Palace, located at the deepest part of the ancient underground lake. Stalactites are hanging all around, like palace lanterns, magnificent and noble.

From the perspective of scenery alone, it is still worth a visit, after all, it is a classic karst landform. The whole journey takes about 40 minutes to 1 hour to complete, and there are guides in the scenic area to explain. However, the scenic area is very commercialized and there are many pitfalls. Everyone should pay special attention to: 1. Taking pictures. The tour guide will lead you to visit the cave. On the way, you will encounter two places to help tourists take pictures. The tour guide will say that it is free. In fact, only 2 free photos similar to the size of ID photos are given. Large photos are charged, and the total cost of 2 photos is more than 70 yuan. Here comes the point! The tour guide will say that small photos are free, but you can choose whether to buy large photos, but the fact is that they will develop all the large photos, and you have to buy them in the end! And the level of taking pictures is very poor (this pit of taking pictures can be seen everywhere in Guilin and Yangshuo, and it is the same routine); 2. The tour guide will guide you to see a so-called "thousand-year turtle" halfway, charging 10 yuan per person. It is impossible to tell whether it is a real "thousand-year turtle", and various amulets will be sold inside, which are also charged separately, ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan. Regardless of whether the turtle is really a thousand-year-old turtle, it feels really pitiful to be forced to exhibit every day like that. I hope it can be rescued; 3. After leaving the cave, you have to go through a shopping area to reach the exit. There are all kinds of traps here. Everyone can identify them by themselves. I especially remind everyone to pay special attention, pay special attention, and pay special attention (important things are said three times). There is a place selling medicinal materials in the shopping area, selling things like Longyangzi and Shihu. Don't go to see them, don't touch them. This store sells high-priced medicines (I even suspect that they are selling fake and inferior medicines), and they have hired someone. When you go to see it, a middle-aged woman or a middle-aged man (sometimes pretending to be a couple) will come over and praise how good the medicinal materials are, and how good health is the most important, and then trick you into buying them together, and pretend to bargain with the boss. Then a shocking scene will appear. The person selling medicinal materials will quickly pour out a large pile of medicinal materials from another medicinal material barrel (at least a kilogram, and the price is several yuan per gram), and then quickly trick you into helping you grind the medicinal materials into powder, without waiting for you to say the same
If you don't like it, they will quickly grind it into powder (do you know why they grind it into powder? One is to force you to buy it, and the other is that if it is ground into powder, there is no evidence to prove what medicine it is!), then you have to buy it even if you don't want to! Once you swipe the card, 5, 6, 8, or even tens of thousands of yuan will be charged in minutes!!! I have seen many comments about this matter. It is probably a conspiracy with the mall. Complaints are useless. I hope everyone will pay attention to avoid it!!! (This scam of selling medicine can be found in many scenic spots in Guilin and Yangshuo, and it is exactly the same routine)
Reed Flute Cave is located on the bank of Taohua River in the northwest of the city. It is named after the legend that there was a kind of reed grass that could be made into flutes growing at the entrance of the cave. It has received many heads of state and dignitaries from home and abroad, so it is called the "State Guest Cave". Compared with other caves, Reed Flute Cave is characterized by more dripping water in the cave, a large number of exquisite stalagmites, stalactites, stone pillars, stone curtains, and stone flowers. The cave is like a magnificent underground palace. The old version of "Journey to the West" was filmed in the "Crystal Palace" in it.
When I went down the mountain at the exit, I met many people selling "reed flutes" on the way. After a few steps, I got down the mountain. When I crossed the road, the view suddenly opened up and I saw a beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains. It turned out that this was the Lotus Pond, but there were only bamboo rafts and no lotus flowers. I slowly admired the view and walked around the plank road by the lake.
Reed Flute Cave is mainly a karst cave landscape, and it is famous because Journey to the West was filmed here. To be honest, the karst cave scenery is quite beautiful, but the service of the scenic spot and a series of other problems make people frustrated. There is a weird rule that international students must study in China for 4 years and cannot be graduate students. There is no such weird rule in first-tier cities such as Beijing. Moreover, the ticket sellers in the scenic area play computer games during work, which is quite speechless. The ticket gate opens postcards for 10 yuan a set, and it seems that there is no receipt. There is nothing to say about the weird rule
We took a taxi and the driver dropped us off at the ticket office in the parking lot and guided us to buy tickets. We wanted to buy tickets online, but were told that online tickets needed to be purchased 1 hour in advance.
But, there was no formal ticket or invoice, just a handwritten receipt? ? ? Later I found out that the taxi driver was getting kickbacks! What's even more annoying is that we found that there was actually a long way from the parking ticket office to the real entrance of the scenic spot. We were cheated and walked there. It is recommended to take Uber or Didi. After walking a flat road, we have to climb a small hill. After reaching the entrance of Reed Flute Cave, we can see the real scenic spot and ticket center. However, compared with the tourists who bought tickets here, it was just a receipt! And when entering the cave, the receipt must be collected, which is equivalent to nothing happening in this business! It is none of their business if anything happens. Under my questioning, the staff said that there are commemorative tickets at the entrance that can be picked up by yourself, and the so-called commemorative tickets do not have any ticket price and time, and there is a real estate advertisement on the back... What a Guobin Cave.
But, to be honest, the cave is really beautiful. I remember the stalactites I saw in Zhijin Cave in Guizhou before. Three points depend on eyesight and seven points depend on imagination. You must have an experienced tour guide to explain. The tour guide in Ludiyan is professionally trained, with a sweet voice, in-depth explanation, and can sing folk songs. It is really worth listening to. The only thing I need to complain about is that there is a small cave on the way to see the so-called "millennium ancient turtle". It is voluntary and guided by another special staff member inside. We went in to find out with the mentality that we would not lose much money after seeing it for a few dollars. In fact, there are several "Asian giant turtles". Regarding my question "How to detect the age of the millennium turtle", the staff just vaguely said that it was identified by experts... Although it is a small amount of money, it is not recommended to go in. There are also two places on the way where there are free photo spots. You can get key chains for free, or you can pay for high-definition photos and electronic photos.
Reed Flute Cave Scenic Area, the first stop in Guilin, went there on October 1st, and there were a lot of people. The cave is known as the "State Guest Cave" and is indeed worth a visit. Children especially like it.
From the entrance to the exit, it was crowded. This is the result of the orderly management of the scenic area and releasing people in batches. The batch release + free tour guide explanations show that Guilin tourism has done a really good job.
There is a stop every 50 steps. Everywhere is a scene, and every place has its own name and origin. As it has received more than a hundred distinguished guests from home and abroad, it is also called the "State Guest Cave" to the Custer Cave.
In the taxi back to the hotel, I consulted the driver. The master strongly suggested that we go to Reed Flute Cave, which is known as the State Guest Cave. It is said that the heads of state and leaders will go to Guilin. When entering the cave, there will be a special tour guide to lead the team for explanation. Otherwise, just by looking at it with the naked eye, many places cannot see the things and scenes that the lights want to show. It really depends on good eyesight and imagination. I admire the earliest designer of the scenic spot explanation. He can string these strange stones into interesting stories, and can also welcome and send off people in combination with the characteristics of the scenic spot. We went to Silver Cave again the next day. In comparison, Silver Cave is much larger, so it is recommended that friends who come to Guilin, if you want to choose, just go to Silver Cave. It feels that Reed Flute Cave was developed earlier, so the audience is very high, but it is not as shocking as Silver Cave.
Reed Flute Cave, one of the karst caves in Guilin, Guangxi, is a classic scenic spot that was developed earlier. Precisely because it was developed earlier, it is not so popular and there are not many people, so you can browse it leisurely!
The cave has various stalactites, and the unique beauty formed by Guilin's Gester terrain
Meet the person you are destined to meet among thousands of people, in thousands of years, in the endless wilderness of time, not a step earlier, not a step later, just in time, there is nothing else to say, but to gently ask: "Oh, are you here too?"
The stalactites in Reed Flute Cave are of various shapes. I heard that it was the filming location of a certain version of Journey to the West. The stalactites are relatively dull in color, but under the background of various lights, they become colorful and dazzling. To be honest, it is worth seeing.
The Guobin Cave in Ludiyan gave me the feeling of being in the North Pole, with perfect light and shadow and the uncanny workmanship of nature.
The Koster Underground Dark Cave Scenic Area is a representative one in Guilin. The cave is very spacious and very cool in summer. There are guides to explain, and the lights inside are beautiful, which makes people dazzled.
I went to the ticket office of the Reed Flute Cave Scenic Area to pick up the tickets (I ordered them online for only 74 yuan). The staff told me to pick up the tickets at the entrance of the cave on the mountain. They also emphasized that it was a long and tiring hike up the mountain, which would take more than 20 minutes. They suggested that we take the forest train, which would cost 30 yuan per person. My intuition told me that this was a trap, and sure enough, it only took five or six minutes to hike up the mountain!
Reed Flute Cave is known as the State Guest Cave and is said to have received dozens of Chinese and foreign heads of state. Visiting Reed Flute Cave also made up for our regret of not going to Zhijin Cave due to a temporary change of route in Guizhou.
If you buy tickets online, you must pay attention that you can only enter 1 hour after the ticket is issued. The scenery inside is still beautiful, but the light is very dim, which may not be conducive to taking pictures. To enter the cave, you must wait until a group of tourists gather and be led in by a staff member. You cannot enter alone. It is said that it is the filming location of the Dragon Palace in Journey to the West. At that time, I began to imagine myself as the little princess of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, hahahaha...
The staff recommends the small train, which costs 30 yuan one way. It is not recommended to buy a ticket because the distance is very short. After climbing the mountain for ten minutes, the entrance of Reed Flute Cave is there. You cannot travel freely to visit the cave. You need to follow the tour guide to enter, and the tour guide will control the lights. After we arrived, the tour guide arranged to enter the cave. The cave was very beautiful under the illumination of colorful lights. The two most impressive landscapes were the harvest vegetable garden and the reflection of the snow-capped mountains. Following the guide's flashlight beam, the group members identified various vegetables in unison, which were very lifelike. With the help of the top rock wall, you can watch a ten-minute 3D projection that tells the formation process of the cave.
Reed Flute Cave is really big and shocking. We were impressed by the magical power of nature all the way. And this shock cannot be fully expressed by the camera. The ticket is a little expensive.
It is in the city, so it is quite convenient to go there. The package ticket I booked online is quite cost-effective. For someone who has never seen stalactites, it still feels quite magical, the wonders of nature. But the so-called tour guide is not good at all
Reed Flute Cave is the "Guest Cave" of Guilin. It is said that foreign leaders who come to Guilin will visit here. This is my first time to visit a cave. Later in Guilin, I also went to Jinshui Cave and the more famous Silver Cave in Yangshuo. Comparing the three. Reed Flute Cave has a more masterly style, and the lady who explains it inside is very good. The whole experience is also very good.
Came out after about an hour of sightseeing.
The total tour time is about 60 minutes, and the tour guide will explain the whole process. (No way, if the tour guide doesn't explain, I don't know what it looks like.) The scenery is still very good. You can use your imagination along the way and see many different landscapes.
Reed Flute Cave is also known as the Guobin Cave. The old version of Journey to the West was also filmed here.
There are people soliciting customers at the door, saying that it's ten yuan to take a bamboo raft to the door, which I don't think is reliable. There is also a small train, which should be 35 yuan per person, which is too rip-off. You only sit on a hoop section, and after getting off the train you still have to climb a distance, so I don't think it's necessary at all.
After entering, there will be a guide to explain + turn on the lights. Each person will be given a mythological legend. Some are confirmed to be quite similar. The Crystal Palace is the filming location of Journey to the West. The place inside is really big, and it is indeed big enough for the Monkey King to do somersaults.
We started from the Crystal Palace, and then we didn't follow the guide, we just walked forward and looked around.
Tickets must be booked online before 4pm. The price is still a little expensive ~ 84.
Reed Flute Cave is a distance away from the city, and it costs about 28 yuan to get there by Didi from the bus station. I don't have much feeling about the cave, but Reed Flute Cave is still pretty good. After all, there are really not many places worth visiting in Guilin city. Beautiful cave. One thing I like more is that in order to ensure everyone's safety, the scenic spot will organize tourists who play at the same time together, and will be equipped with a tour guide with a super nice voice, so you can have a clearer understanding of the formation and shape of the cave. The shape of the stone is 30% likeness and 70% imagination.
It is said that there is a filming location of the old version of Journey to the West Crystal Palace. There is a large open space in the cave, which looks quite shocking. It is a standard tourist must-see place. There is a turtle prime minister's mansion in the cave. It is said that the turtle has lived for 1,200 years. Touch it and pray for the safety and health of your family.
The difference between Reed Flute Cave and Silver Cave is that the tour guide explains the symbols and stories of each landscape on site. However, if the process of making the unconscious conscious is completed by others, accuracy and vividness may be equivalent to restriction and poverty.
I think the stalactites there are more beautiful than those in Yangshuo Silver Cave, and there are not so many monsters when taking photos. There is also a short sound and light film, and the naked eye 3D effect is an unexpected surprise.
I went there on May 1st. It was very nice. The interior of Reed Flute Cave is very large, a kingdom of dazzling colors. The interior of the stalactite cave is bizarre and rocky. There are also special effects dances and special effects animations. It is also relatively close from Guilin city. I reserved some time before going back and decided to come here for a walk~
A very good scenic spot, very close to the city, accessible by bus. It is super cool in the cave in summer, and there is water dripping in the cave, which is very cold. It is recommended to wear long pants, because my friend who wore shorts said that he was bitten by mosquitoes all the time. The stalactites inside are very beautiful and worth seeing. There is a guide's explanation. The guide is very beautiful and speaks very well. The disadvantage of the scenic spot is that the ticket is expensive, 120, but 55 with a student ID is still good.
I asked the driver to buy the tickets for me directly. It rained heavily all the way and the car was too lazy to stop. Fortunately, there was a shed outside the ticket office where we were waiting for the cable car. There were not many people there. It was quite comfortable to sit there and look at the mountains and clouds.
I took a lot of photos in Reed Flute Cave, but now when I look back at them, they all look the same. But then again, without artificial lighting, I'm afraid many people wouldn't even dare to enter the cave.
Although it looks very bright in the photo, it is recommended that you pay attention to safety when entering the cave. Don't just take pictures without looking down at your feet. There are many small steps and no eye-catching signs or lighting prompts.
There is a very open square-like place in Reed Flute Cave. Videos are played above the ceiling of the cave, mainly based on the appearance of stalactites in the cave and short stories told based on imagination.
Reed Flute Cave is known as the "Guest Cave". The unique karst landforms and rugged rocks in the cave, combined with the colorful lights, can be said to be magnificent.
It is said that the cave entrance is full of reeds, which can be made into flutes, so it is named "Reed Flute Cave". It has successively received many domestic and foreign leaders, so it is also known as the "State Guest Cave". It is one of the most famous caves in Guilin, where there are many caves. Sure enough, there is a different world inside, with colorful lights, strange stalactites and stalagmites. The tour guide will point them out to you one by one and tell you vivid stories, making the journey interesting. There are also two holographic projections in the lobby of the Crystal Palace. But it doesn't feel worth the 110 ticket price
Guobin Cave is the oldest karst landform landscape. Although the scenery may not be as beautiful as those newly opened karst cave scenic spots, it wins in terms of its age and my feelings about Journey to the West, especially the Crystal Palace, which is really like a dream.
If you want to visit a cave, Guilin Reed Flute Cave is definitely the first choice. It is the largest and most colorful cave with stalactites in various forms such as lions, tigers, fairies, etc., which are lifelike under the light.
Not far from the city center, I chose to come here on the last day of leaving Guilin. The stalactites are all the same, the more distinctive ones are the crystal palace of Journey to the West and the animation on the wall
Guobin Cave is worthy of its name. Walking in it is unique. Since I have been to Yinzi Cave, I was less amazed when I went to Ludi Cave. There was only a kind of admiration. It is a masterpiece of nature. It is worth seeing. The explanation inside is very good.
A must-see attraction in Guilin. There is a young lady as a tour guide when you enter. She is very interesting. For detailed guides, please see my Guilin Travel Notes.
I consulted a friend who said that Reed Flute Cave is more worth visiting than Silver Cave, so I came. First of all! The taxis here are all scams! When we got on the car, they said nice things like 50 yuan for a day of chartering, taking us to the surrounding scenic spots, saying that we can get a discount if we buy tickets from him, and then take you to the travel agency. If we don’t reach an agreement, they will not care about you! ! ! Secondly, you can buy tickets for Reed Flute Cave on Taobao for 58 yuan each. The kind that says tickets are issued in seconds, even if you arrive at the scene, he will wait for you to receive a text message for an hour before you can enter, so we waited outside for an hour. Then there is a small train under the scenic area. The people below kept brainwashing us that it was very far and tiring to walk up, and it would take 20 minutes, so they asked us to take their 35 yuan per person small train. Fortunately, we held back. In fact, it took less than 5.6 minutes to walk to the entrance. Finally, Reed Flute Cave is still pretty good. After all, it is a national guest cave. The tour guide inside is also very hard. Not only does he have to introduce it, but he also sings folk songs to create an atmosphere. It is still beautiful.
The tour guide explained very well. It is cheaper to buy tickets online. It is just a little far from the parking lot to the ticket entrance. The train is 35 yuan, which is a bit of a rip-off. It takes 10 minutes to walk to the entrance of the scenic spot.
There are so many stalagmites, stalactites, stone pillars, stone curtains, and stone flowers that you can't tell them apart. It was very hot outside during the National Day holiday, but it was very cool inside the cave.
It is worthy of the name of Guobin Cave. The lights and natural landscape complement each other, especially in the hot summer, it is very refreshing to come to such a scenic spot. There are headphones in the scenic area, but it is not necessary at all. The guide is not far away from you and there is no problem of not being able to hear. The whole process is very satisfactory, and there are no complaints. There is a place to see the thousand-year-old turtle in the middle, and the ticket is 10 yuan. In fact, there is nothing special, and it doesn't matter if you don't go.
Reed Flute Cave, Guobin Cave. The stalactites inside are all kinds of strange and bizarre, and it is easier to understand them by listening to the stories told by the tour guide.
The light inside is quite dim, so if you want to take good photos, you should bring a SLR. There is a large platform inside, which will give you a sense of sudden enlightenment...
I originally planned to give up this attraction, but I don’t regret it now, it’s so beautiful.
Tickets are booked on Ctrip 1 hour in advance for 79 yuan. You can enter through the Ctrip VIP channel. The Millennium Turtle Scenic Spot is sold separately for 10 yuan. After entering, there will be a guide to explain and the tour will take about 1 hour. The cave is very beautiful, especially the Crystal Palace in the center.
The highlight of Reed Flute Cave is the Crystal Palace in the cave, which is the filming location of the Dragon King of the East China Sea in Journey to the West. The Crystal Palace is reflected by a pool of water, and with the quiet and elegant blue lights, the stalactites on the ground and the reflection on the water are integrated into one, which is wonderful and dreamy, like a crystal paradise! There is a rare 300 square meters of smooth natural skylight in the cave, which can play 3D projection short films. There is also a holographic projection ballet performance, and the reflection in the water is also beautiful!
I feel that Reed Flute Cave is more interesting than Seven Star Cave because of these two projects, and it is more worth visiting! Mandatory consumption is 0, optional turtle touching is 10 yuan, and taking photos is 20-35 yuan.
The tour guide No. 21 (free tour) has a super nice voice, beautiful, gentle and professional!
Don't take the train up there, because it only takes about 5-10 minutes to walk to the cave entrance.
When you get down, you can play with bamboo rafts. You can row the boat yourself or the boatman can help you row the boat. It costs 10 yuan per person and you can bargain. Take the ferry from the cave entrance to the parking lot.
The total time for the tour is 2 hours. You need to buy tickets on China-TravelNote one hour in advance. The ticket office is 110 yuan/person, China-TravelNote is 59/person (get handwritten tickets at the kiosk of the travel agency), and student ID cards and Guilin local ID cards are 55/person.
You can take a bus directly to Guilin City. It is a good scenic spot in Guilin. It is a place mainly for visiting caves. There are many stalagmites, stone pillars, stone flowers and murals in the form of animals and plants. It is worth a visit.
The tickets are a bit expensive, but the attractions are pretty good and close to Guilin city
I just came back from Guilin. When I was shopping in Dongxixiang, I saw a store called Lijiangyuanwei doing an event. It gave away tickets and hotels. If you buy 200 yuan of local specialties, you can get tickets to Elephant Trunk Hill. At that time, I thought I had to buy souvenirs for my friends anyway, so I bought 200 yuan for a ticket. The next day, I went to play in Elephant Trunk Hill. It felt very affordable. It was much more cost-effective than taking a boat outside and watching from a distance. If you have friends who go, you can go and have a look. I think it's quite a bargain. I heard from the waiter in the store that you can also exchange for a hotel. I booked the hotel in advance and didn't ask for the hotel. Later, I went to Meituan to check out the hotel. It was a new hotel. The decoration picture looked very good and beautiful, and the reviews were also very good. I went home and searched for this store on Taobao, and I really found it. The things are also cheaper than those sold in physical stores, and you can also participate in the event. If you need it, you can go and find out. It's for reference only.
The ticket price for Reed Flute Cave is 120 yuan per person. People under 1.2 meters are free of charge. The cave is 240 meters deep and the tour distance is 500 meters. The tour time is about 40 minutes.
There is no luggage storage service in this scenic spot. There is a small train at the foot of the mountain that can be taken directly to the cave entrance for 35 yuan per person. Once again, I would like to remind you not to take it! It is mainly because it is too close. If you walk, you can reach the cave entrance in 5 minutes.
The temperature inside the cave is around 17 degrees Celsius all year round. As you go deeper into the cave, you will find that the temperature is not as low as you might imagine. 17 degrees is relatively comfortable for the human body. Therefore, the elderly and children do not need to be overly cautious and add or remove clothes.
Reed Flute Cave is located on the bank of Taohua River in the northwest of Guilin City, on the south side of Guangming Mountain. There was a kind of reed grass growing at the entrance of the cave. Legend has it that it can be made into a flute, which produces pleasant sounds. Reed Flute Cave got its name from this. Reed Flute Cave is a shining pearl in Guilin's landscape. Its stalactites of various shapes and forms have created a natural art palace.
It is known as "Nature's Palace of Art".
When you come to Guilin, you must visit caves. Reed Flute Cave is the most famous.
But Silver Cave is more beautiful. If you go to Yangshuo, go to Silver Cave.
There were professional photographers, I remember it was ¥20 per photo, the photos were pretty casual
Worth a visit, reasonable price, nice view inside the cave
The tickets to Reed Flute Cave are also expensive. The group purchase is nearly 90 yuan per person, and you can take the full explanation. I feel it is worth the price. The reflection of Da Ai was really shocking when I saw it on the spot. It really looks like a snow mountain, and even the waves can be seen clearly. This is another scene of Da Ai. Behind the curtain, the love story of Liu Sanjie is being staged.
Reed Flute Cave was attracted by the Crystal Palace. It turns out that I have a good vision and was deeply shocked by the outstanding works of art of nature. Only mountains like Guilin can give birth to such a Guilin cave! Tickets for the scenic spot were purchased online, which was cheap and easy to get, and there was no need to queue. There was just a small problem when picking up the ticket, but fortunately it was resolved in time. I was glad that I made a wise decision and didn’t have to queue up to buy tickets. It’s National Day. Be prepared and you will be rewarded! Before entering the cave, I bought a singing postcard. Scan the QR code on the postcard and sing the exclusive mountain song. It’s quite creative. About 20 people shared a tour guide, and the explanation was vivid.
We went to Reed Flute Cave in the afternoon. I thought that after visiting Silver Cave, I would feel that this cave is similar and I would be disappointed. But unexpectedly, my mother said that it was like a fairyland and was more beautiful than Silver Cave. I think that compared with the two, Reed Flute Cave is more majestic and has a rich depth of field. Various scenes complement each other and make each other interesting. When combined together, it looks more magnificent and more layered. The individual landscapes of Silver Cave are naturally good, but they lack the fun of complementing each other. Every 15 minutes, a tour guide will lead a group of people into Reed Flute Cave to explain.
There are so many people... Reed Flute Cave is located on the bank of Taohua River in the northwest of Guilin City, on the south side of Guangming Mountain. There was a kind of reed grass growing at the entrance of the cave. It is said that it can be made into a flute and blow out a pleasant sound, so Reed Flute Cave got its name. It is recommended to buy tickets online. I used my student ID to buy tickets and had to queue up on the first floor, while my parents booked tickets online and went directly through the VIP channel... Here, it is also divided into small groups according to a certain number of people, led by a tour guide, and free explanations. Since the lights in the cave are computer-controlled, the tour guide needs a magnetic card to activate the lighting control system, so it is strongly recommended to follow the tour guide. If not, go to the next group, and the explanation content is the same. If you don't listen to the explanation, you really can't see anything. After visiting the most famous Dragon Palace Reflection in Reed Flute Cave, we returned by the same route, but the number of passengers must have skyrocketed when we went there... It was comparable to my imperial bus during peak hours, so that the driver later skipped the station and passed by.
I heard from the locals that Yinzi Cave is newly developed and privately owned. Reed Flute Cave is state-owned. 🙄️ Feel it for yourself. I think they are all similar. The caves I visited before were extremely cold, but this cave has a constant temperature all year round. The various strange shapes and colors inside are all illuminated. The total length is only 500 meters. The whole explanation takes about an hour, and there are two small 4D animations inside.

Well, as someone who has been to Shihua Cave, I think the scenery is actually similar. If you have been to a similar scenery, you don’t need to go again.
There was a short film to watch at the back ~ it was a highlight ~
16/9/13 The only scenic spot in Guilin I went to was Reed Flute Cave. If I didn't go there, I could also go to Silver Cave or something else. Anyway, it would be the same if I just went to one of them. In the scenic area, I listened to the explanation of the tour guide (the tour guide was provided by the scenic area and included in the ticket), and I just saw the mountain as a mountain. I probably won't remember it after taking pictures. The main reason I didn't like it was the various consumption places. There was an extra charge in the scenic area to touch the thousand-year-old turtle, which cost 5 yuan each time. The guide I checked in advance said that you will be asked to donate merit money after entering. Anyway, I won't go to see it. There were vendors selling things all the way from the scenic area to the foot of the mountain. It was unavoidable. It was very annoying. I heard that other rocks were in this situation as well.
A natural work of art, gorgeous, spectacular and wonderful.

The first stop in Guilin is Reed Flute Cave, which is recommended to visit more than Seven Star Cave. It is said that many leaders have visited it and it is the filming location of the 1983 version of Journey to the West.
Tickets are 110, and half price is 55 with student ID.
The cave is a Koster landform, and each group of scenes is matched with an imaginary picture, 30% depends on the image, and 70% depends on imagination. It is still very interesting. The most interesting thing is the holographic animation projected on the rock wall above the head at the end. It is very shocking and worth watching. There will be extra money for touching the turtle on the way, 5 yuan per person. After touching the turtle, you will give a copper coin and then force you to pay. One of the people who was traveling with us was forced to pay 99 for blessing. The thousand-year-old turtle is smaller than expected, and it is a bit pitiful to be used to collect money.
It takes less time than visiting Silver Cave, but it is more interesting than Silver Cave. It is not tiring to walk around, the road is easier to walk on, the service of the staff is very good, and the ethnic minority staff sings songs from time to time, which is very nice. The scenic area uses a lot of high-tech means. There is a 3D movie in the largest place in the middle, and the lighting is also very good. Many attractions are very vivid and lifelike. The transportation is also relatively convenient, and there is a direct bus.
It's a work of nature. If you haven't seen it, you can come and see it. But don't take the scenic train. It's the worst scenic train. 35 yuan is only for a single trip, especially when it only takes a few minutes!
It is a scenic spot mainly for visiting caves and supplemented by enjoying the mountain, water and rural scenery.
When you come to Guilin, you must visit Reed Flute Cave, it is worth a visit. It is very dark inside, just like the feeling when watching Journey to the West. It turns out that Journey to the West was actually filmed here. There are underwater ballets, Milky Way landscapes, micro-films, etc. You need to use a good SLR camera or a camera with night shooting mode to take pictures inside, otherwise it will be dark inside and people’s faces will be dark and unclear. So there will be special free photo taking services inside, but if you want to get a photo, or your photo is made into a crystal version and put there for sale as soon as it comes out, it’s that fast. The price can be cut in half or even lower, it’s up to you how to bargain (don’t act like you want it very much, just say it’s too expensive and ask for a lower price, then keep going forward, bargain until you are satisfied with the price)
It's beautiful. But I heard that local students can go in for free, I want to cry... I went there by myself, and it was like having air conditioning once I entered, it was so cool~ There is no signal in the cave. After listening to the tour guide, don't go out of the iron gate first, you can go back and walk around by yourself. It's beautiful only with lights and imagination.
The earliest karst cave developed for tourism in Guilin, the cave is cool and equipped with colorful lights, very magical and beautiful~ When you enter the cave, there will be a special tour guide in the scenic area who will explain the scenic spots. At the end of the trip, there will be a slide show and a three-dimensional projection ballet. There are staff taking pictures in the cave. You can pay to get satisfactory photos at the exit, and the photos can be bargained. Overall good~ Don't miss it if you go to Guilin~
When I heard the three words "Guobin Cave", I knew that this trip was destined to be a very "Guobin" trip. Of course, it was not that we were treated as Guobin, but the way to visit the entire Reed Flute Cave was as official as it could be. There were designated batches, designed routes, various cool landscape names, fixed locations for taking photos, etc. Although I didn't like the process very much, I have to say that Reed Flute Cave should be one of the best cave landscapes developed in China, with reasonable lighting, well-trained tour guides, and fully developed cave landscapes. It happened that I went to a cave in Charleston, South Island, New Zealand some time ago, but it was a very young cave, only 250,000 years old, and the numerous stalactites and stalagmites in it were still small, like just sprouting, but the style in New Zealand is to keep it original and natural. The light source inside is the small headlight on everyone's head. After turning it off, it is really pitch dark. From the perspective of a well-developed cave landscape, Reed Flute Cave is worth recommending!
Reed Flute Cave is not far from Guilin city, and the drive takes about half an hour. The scenery inside the cave is very beautiful and there is a different world.

The title of "State Guest Cave" is definitely not in vain. Leaders from different countries are simply astonishing. Reed Flute Cave has received countless domestic and foreign VIPs, each one more famous than the other. The reason why it is called "State Guest Cave" is also very simple. Its beauty, its magic, and its uniqueness have amazed and praised the world. International VIPs who come to Guilin are all received by Reed Flute Cave.
"Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world, and the Reed Flute Cave is the best. The characteristics of Reed Flute Cave are that there is a lot of dripping water in the cave, and there are also a lot of stalactites, stalagmites, and stone pillars that have developed into fillings in the cave. Visitors enter the cave and turn around in the gaps between the stone pillars, and with the illumination of colorful lights, it feels like being in a fairyland.
Friendly reminder: You don't need to pay for the tour guide at Reed Flute Cave. After buying the ticket, you will line up at the entrance. Basically, there are 20-30 people in a group. A free tour guide will be arranged. It is a very humane service. Give a hundred likes!
I went to Reed Flute Cave on the first day in Guilin. The ticket I booked on Qunar.com was about 80+ per person. Remember to make an appointment one hour in advance (graduate student IDs cannot buy student tickets, so sad). It is very convenient to take bus No. 3 from the hotel and get off at Reed Flute Cave Scenic Area. And then....it is worthy of being the state guest cave! It happened to be the off-season and there were not many people. The tour guide girl had a very good voice and explained the scenery inside very well...My Chinese teacher died early...Everyone, please look at the pictures...It is beautiful! The strange rocks and the lighting effects. It was full of shock. The Dragon Palace in Journey to the West was also filmed here. I felt very excited! If you go, you can take a two-inch photo for free. As a souvenir~
Nothing special, but still worth a visit
🎇You can book your tickets online in advance, which is cheaper than buying them directly at the door. We booked tickets online for ¥92💰 per person, and the price of tickets sold on site is ¥110💰. But remember, the ticket pick-up window for online ticket booking is not the same as the entrance for buying tickets on site, so be sure to ask clearly before queuing up to enter.
🎇Reed Flute Cave is very cool inside, which is in sharp contrast to the hot weather outside. It is very suitable for bringing children to play in this hot summer. Various colored lights illuminate the stalactites, which gives the feeling of the goblin cave in Journey to the West! Several children are very interested in this place and keep looking here and there.
🎇But to be honest, this place is not suitable for taking pictures. The pictures always have an inexplicable horror movie effect... So I suggest you just focus on the stalactites~
