In the mountains 30 kilometers north of Oudtsson, there is a huge natural stalactite cave called Ganguo Cave, which is one of the largest stalactite caves in Africa. There are stalactites, stone forests, stalagmites, etc., and some stone pillars more than ten meters high are the result of 150,000 years of etching. Continuing along the cave, there is a small stone walkway at about 100 meters. Going down the steps, you will suddenly see a wide cave in front of you. It is said that a symphony orchestra once performed here. The echo effect of this cave is very good. It can accommodate about 1,500 people. There are many stalactite columns and stalagmites around the cave, and even some as high as 10 meters, the textual research has reached more than 150,000 years. Going forward along the path behind the cave, there is a new scene in front of you. There are huge stalactite columns and stalagmites standing in the wide space. The staff turned on the lights and saw colorful lights projected on the stalactites and stalagmites. In an instant, the stalactites became the Virgin Mary, and the stalagmites on the rock walls did not Exactly the twelve disciples. At this time, the symphony sounded, both gorgeous and solemn. There are several Bushman murals on the rock wall about 50 meters away from the entrance of the cave, indicating that there were Bushman people living here at that time. Therefore, it has been designated as a Bushman ecological area, and the lifelike wax figures fully reveal the medieval Bushman lifestyle. At that time, the Bushmen lived in groups. They hunted for a living, and they knew how to drill wood to make fire. They also used simple pottery, and started a pottery civilization.
