Seven-star Cave

The name derives from the fact the main karst limestone peaks form roughly the same pattern as the stars of the Big Dipper constellation.

The earliest exploration of Seven-star Cave dates back to the Tang dynasty, about 1,300 years ago.

A concrete and stone tour path of approximately 1,000 metres runs through the cave between its entrance and exit points.

Artificial lighting for walkways and displays is staged throughout, including colored accents, and various formations have been given names such as "A Natural Fresco" and "The Chessboard".

During the Japanese invasion of China in World War II, Guilin residents took refuge in the cave complex.
