Reed Flute Cave (Ludi Yan)
Your day begins at 9:00 AM, when your private driver will pick you up from your hotel in Guilin. After a scenic 20-minute drive, you’ll arrive at the Reed Flute Cave, located 7 kilometers northwest of downtown Guilin. This U-shaped cave stretches 240 meters deep and requires about 500 meters of walking inside, taking roughly an hour to explore. Inside, you’ll discover a spectacular world of stalactites, stone pillars, and rock formations created by carbonate deposition, illuminated by colorful lighting to create a natural art palace. The cave’s otherworldly beauty makes it a must-visit attraction in Guilin.

Very beautiful, scenic and magic experience
This is one of the best tours I booked in China. We were picked up by our guide Molly by car. Molly is a fantastic guide who is very kind and adapting to your needs if necessary. First we visited the reed flute cave, very beautiful illuminated by neon lights. Then we went to Yangshuo, a 80 km drive, where we had lunch and did a 40 min bamboo rafting on the yulong river. Afterwards we went to the Ruyi peak by cable car followed by a beautful walk over bridges, glass bottom bridge. In the evening we attended the Lee impressions show, a magic light spectacle on the water with the mountains as natural decor. After the show at 21h30 Molly brought us back to the hotel. We all enjoyed this trip very much with Molly as guide!!!

Guilin 1 Day Cave, Xianggong Hill and Impression Show: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Guilin.
How much does Guilin 1 Day Cave, Xianggong Hill and Impression Show cost?
+
Prices start at $81 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Guilin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guilin 1 Day Cave, Xianggong Hill and Impression Show take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Guilin is not rushed.
Is Guilin 1 Day Cave, Xianggong Hill and Impression Show worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Guilin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guilin 1 Day Cave, Xianggong Hill and Impression Show?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Guilin 1 Day Cave, Xianggong Hill and Impression Show suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guilin 1 Day Cave, Xianggong Hill and Impression Show?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Guilin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Guilin and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guilin 1 Day Cave, Xianggong Hill and Impression Show start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Guilin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Guilin?
+
On Outty we rank every Guilin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 1-DAY Private Longji Rice Terraces and Minority Villages Tour, Longji Rice Terraces with Minority Village Private Day Tour, 1 Day Li River Cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo with Private Guide & Driver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Guilin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Guilin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
