After visited Gosu Cave, i thought that Indonesia has more beautiful caves than Gosu. In this cave, i said "biasa aja tuh !". But it's enough interesting :DOne of Korea's most famous limestone caves, it gets a large number of tourists that can make seeing the cave a chore. Visitors view the 1,300 meter cave along an extensive combination of steel stairwells and catwalks. During the afternoons on weekends and holidays, it can become quite claustrophobic inside. Many of the chambers are quite striking with their displays of stalactites and stalagmites.
The Gosu Cave (고수동굴 - Kosu is also still found as an alternate spelling) is a huge limestone cave near Danyang (North Chungcheong Province), South Korea formed over 450 million years ago. It is among the best known natural caves in Korea, called the "underground palace" because of its breathtaking natural beauty. Gosu Cave is listed as the country's "Natural Monument No. 256".
"Gosu" means "field of tall reeds," and comes from the fact that the area used to be filled with fields of tall grasses. After the cave was discovered in the early 1970s, rough stone instruments were excavated from the cave's entrance, showing that this used to be a home to prehistoric people.
