The Reed Flute Cave is acclaimed as the most beautiful cave in Guilin Region. Compared to other caves, it is mainly explored by foreign visitors. It features stalactites with different appearances and old stone inscriptions left by writers, monks and visitors in ancient times. The inscriptions show that it has been popular among tourists since the Tang Dynasty (618 – 907).
Since most of the trees along the city lakes are evergreen, Four Lakes Night Cruise also could be a great choice to admire the charm of Guilin City in December.
