For as long as I live I’ll never have a complete grasp on all the hidden treasures we have in the world.  It’s been 32 years on this planet and I’ve never once heard of the Reed Flute Cave. Never in elementary school in a text book.  Never in college.  Never.

Turns out it is a natural limestone cave with multicolored lighting and has been one of Guilin’s (China) most interesting attractions for over 1200 years. It is over 180 million years old.  The cave got its name from the type of reed growing outside, which can be made into melodious flutes
