It derives its name from the reeds at its entrence,which were once used to make flutes. The cave was first discovered in the Tang Dynasty Since 1959, it has been turned into a tourist attration. Inside the cave, there are many unusual stalactite and stalagmite formations, which resemble coral, amber and jade under colourful lights. Their shapes suggest images of old trees, dense shrubs, ferocious beasts and human forms. The cave has a vast grotto, known as Crystal Palace ,captable of holding up to 1,000 people, legend has it that the stone pillar in the grotto is the Dragon King's magic needle. The underground path opens out onto a terrace which affords a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains, farmland and river courses.
