Crown Cave Scenic Spot, Guilin
When you are visiting Guilin province in China, you should pop by Crown Cave Scenic Area. The area consists of Crown Cave and the hills, villages, rivers from Zhujiang River in the north to Yangdi Village in the south.
Crown Cave is the most famous scenic spot in the area. The cave got its name because it is located beneath the crown-shaped hill. It is also known as Guangyan (re: Light) Cave because there is a gleam of light from the ceiling of the pitch dark cave. As the cave is dark, the government has installed lights inside the cave so that tourists can admire the rock formation inside the cave without having to bring their own torchlight. LOL.
Inside the cave, visitors can admire the naturally created cave and rocks. There is a calligraphy drawn on this particular rock.
The lights installed inside in Crown Cave has many colors and as such it allows visitors to see the rock formations like some kind of scenery. I have to say that the Chinese is very creative here. Hahaha.
The combination of the stalactites, stalagmites and stone pillars plus the colorful lights will capture your imagination and make you want to stay here to admire the beauty of the Crown Cave for a long time.
