Question about English (UK)
I went to Shihua Cave today. There are splendid stalactites, stalagmites, stone curtains and flowers in the cave which was formed millions years ago. The cave has been exploited by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and China university of geosciences since 1990s. Maybe in the future we can go boating in 150 meters' deep under the ground.
Does this sound natural?

A little unnatural
Change 'was formed' to 'were formed'
The last sentences maybe change to - 'go exploring a 150 metres under ground'
