The layers of stalagmites, stone pillars have been raised under the cave floor. They are evenly distributed throughout the cave, but they do not follow any rules. Each cave cliff is a feat and every cave arch is a masterpiece of nature.

From the ceiling of the arches, the stalactite drops fall down softly with vibrant colours. The water droplets are stagnant on the sparkling and vaporous stalactite drops.
