Hailed as the "Cave of State Guests," it has welcomed heads of state and dignitaries from more than 80 countries; opened in 1962, it was the first show cave developed in Guilin. Halls such as the Crystal Palace and Lion Ridge at Dawn hold countless stalactite formations, living up to its title as a "Palace of Nature's Art"; the cave stays cool at a constant temperature in summer, and guides' light-and-shadow storytelling adds to the visit.
Getting there: Bus, Ludi Road / by taxi (approx. 5 km)
