Foreigner notes
Search 银子岩景区 with its address rather than relying on a city-level result; the entrance is the useful destination.
Reservation and foreign-passport handling for Silver Cave remain unconfirmed; use the cited official notice before departure.
Use the recorded crowd pattern to choose a start time, then adjust at Silver Cave if the on-site flow differs.
Normal opening profile: Current reference: 08:30-17:00; last entry 17:00
Save 银子岩景区 and 马岭小青山 before leaving; the last walk is easier when the gate is already marked.
Avoid these mistakes
The task hint says about ¥80, but researched on-site prices of ¥65/group ¥60 don't match—prices may have changed or the hint is stale. Buy at the posted on-site price and compare official-channel vs platform prices for online booking.
The cave has many steps, dim lighting and muggy summer conditions. Wear non-slip shoes, bring a light jacket (temperature difference inside), and watch your feet.
About 85 km from downtown Guilin and ~1 hour from Yangshuo—long travel time. Combine it with Yangshuo plans like the Ten-Mile Gallery/Yulong River and reserve half a day.
The official site yinziyan.com is unreachable, so online tickets and hours can't be confirmed online. Call the scenic area before leaving or check the day's status via Ctrip/Tongcheng.

Items to reconfirm
- ¥65 comes from Baidu Baike and recent visitor posts; the official site is unreachable so the official price couldn't be confirmed; the hint says about ¥80. — Access the official WeChat account / Ctrip checkout page or the on-site ticket window.
- Two opening-hour versions coexist (08:30–17:30 vs 08:00–17:30) with no official notice obtained. — Official WeChat account or scenic-area phone to confirm the day's hours.
- No official passport purchase/entry statement found (official site unreachable). — Ask at the on-site ticket window; passport + cash usually buys tickets on site.
- Whether online real-name booking exists is unverified (official site unreachable, platform pages JS-rendered). — Ctrip/Meituan order page or on-site confirmation.
