The Reed Flute Crag was discovered in 1959 and subsequently opened to the public in 1962. It takes its name from a kind of reed flourishing here that can be used to make flutes. In fact, the word "discovery" is not really correct because when the cave was opened in 1959, archaeologists found dozens of inscriptions on the cliffs written over 1,000 years ago. Apparently, it was a scenic spot at that time. We still don't know why the cave was suddenly closed. There are more than 30 scenic spots inside the 240-meter-deep Reed Flute Cave, most of which are strangely - shaped stalactites. The first one, for example, is called Lions Facing the Rising Sun. It consists of one big "lion" and a group of little "lions" beside it.
