Cave tour
Cave is a place you should go at least once in your life, otherwise, you will never know how wonderful our planet is. Due to its special environmental condition and oddly-shaped stalactite sediments, cave has been explored and developed a sightseeing and tourist destination since early times in history, for example, the tour history of Seven Star Cave in Guilin can be tracked to AD 894 according to the inscription carved on the cave wall, which has a history of more than 1100 years up to now.
