The cave got its name from the verdant reeds growing outside, which can be made into melodious flutes.

240-meter-long cave is lined with interesting rock shapes and formations resembling all kinds of strange things.

Many of the formations have taken on recognizable shapes of mythological creatures, or natural images.
