Reed Flute Cave

Located in a hill beside Peach Blossom River, Reed Flute Cave is like a magnificent underground palace with a large number of exquisite stalagmites, stalactites, stele, stone curtains and stone flowers. The famous TV series Journey to the West was shot in the Crystal Palace, the most beautiful site inside the cave.

Lots of celebrities have visited the cave. The wife of President Nixon praised the cave as "spectacular, just like a palace". Anna Haselbach, an Austrian politician, and one-time president of the Federal Council, wrote the message: "It's just a fairy tale world. Thanks very much for this memorable experience". Hence Reed Flute Cave has also become known as "State Guest Cave".

Lu Jia Village is a classic Chinese village near the Cave. The houses here have specific characteristics – pitched roofs, grey tiles, lattice windows, white walls and green slab-stones – which integrate the traditional architectural elements of folk houses in northern Guangxi. Tofu making has been a traditional handicraft in this village for centuries. You can see the old-fashioned bean curd grinding process. The best seller of local farmers restaurants is Tofu Fish, stewed carp cooked with deep-fried Tofu mixed with tomatoes and green peppers. It is so tasty that it has attracted many visitors from all over the country.
