Our planet has a huge number of surreal places and natural sceneries with beautiful waterfalls, forests and mountains. However, in this article, I wanted to gather more mysterious landscapes. I think that some of the most beautiful places on earth can be found right under our feet. Futhermore, caves are beautiful spots where darkness meets the light coming from the surface. Photography in caves is thus contrasted and unique. Here is a round up of the most stunning caves in the world, I hope these pictures will leave you breathless.

The Reed Flute cave is a popular tourist attraction in Guilin, China. Inside this water-eroded cave is a spectacular world of various stalactites, stone pillars and rock formations created by carbonate deposition. The multicolored lightning artificially illuminates this natural limestone cave. According to TravelChinaGuide, it has been Guilin’s most interesting attractions for hundred of years.
