You can see different shapes of stalactites and stalagmites.

Some are vegetable-like shapes while other are something like a face or body sculpture. 

You will see columns, which is the result when the stalactites and stalagmites join together.

This the view at the river bank.

This is the loading and off-loading station by the river bank.
