Silver Cave

The Silver Cave, located 85 kilometers south of Guilin City, 25 kilometers from Yangshuo County, is a splendid limestone cave. It runs through twelve hills and a roundabout tour covers approximately 2 kilometers.

The Silver Cave is a 2 kilometers storied cave which penetrates beneath twelve hills. The cave is deep and irregular, with a great number of stalactites which glint like silver in the darkness - hence the name of the cave.

The Silver Cave and its surrounding area strike visitors as similar in appearance to a natural bonsai embraced by hill. There are two graceful hills sporting thousands of peach trees and with the fragrance of fruit blossoms floating around in the air throughout the year. The wooded mountains, pointed jade-like hills, numerous peach trees and flaming wide flowers make the Silver Cave an inviting spot to imbue oneself with nature. Indeed, a visit here is often escorted by fragrance from the flowers and mellow fruit which grow in the area.

These majestic, diamond-like stalactites decorate the cave and make it a dazzling place. It consists of three parts, the lower cave, the grand hall and the upper cave. The Cave collects stalactites of deferent geologic ages and some tens of remarkable scenic spots, taking the Screen of Music, the Keep Moon Palace and waterfalls on Snow Hill as the example of matchless spots, alongside with the three treasures of the Buddha Discussing on Buddhist Sutra, the Mixed Pearl Umbrella and the Solitary Pillar Propping up the sky. So experts on Karst geology from France praised the cave as "The World Limestone Cave Miracle."

In regards to activities, on the Green Lake one is able to row a boat and fish, whilst cliff climbing is possible at the Red Hill Precipice. It is an exciting and joyous area, hence its name of "Green poetic homeland."
