Yangshuo Silver Cave is a multi-level cave. About 2 kilometers have been developed for touring, including three main parts: the lower cave, the hall, and the upper cave. It gathers various types of stalactites that grew and developed in different geological eras, with dozens of special scenic spots, represented by the "Three Wonders" of the Music Stone Screen, the Vast Cold Deep Palace, and the Snow Mountain Flying Waterfall, and the "Three Treasures" of Buddha Discussing Sutras, the Single Pillar Propping Up the Sky, and the Primeval Chaos Pearl Umbrella, all vivid and true to life. The underground river being developed in the cave winds its way from hidden mountains, twisting and turning, mysterious and deep, with clear water and fish visible; the scenic spots along both banks of the river are colorful and varied, and a boat ride can lead to the green lake outside the cave. Silver Cave's scenery leads the way with its majesty, wonder, seclusion, and beauty, and has been called a "world treasure house of karst art" by domestic experts in caves, karst, and geology. Silver Cave is one of the best choices for tourists to appreciate the strange stone landscapes of Guilin's mountains and waters.
