All types of tourists visit the cave. The names and explanations of cave formations give very useful information to them. Unfortunately, however, there are a lot of wrong and incorrect statements in the information. Thispaper has investigated this problem in considerations for the importance of information delivery. The problem has turned out as follows: 1) Most of the cave formation names are too abstract based on the shape instead of scientific names; 2) The names are mostly available with little scientific explanation; 3) In case of explanation, wrong, incorrect and controversial statement is found.
