Master the Seven-Star Park and get a new way to travel in Guilin!

Seven-Star Rock, located in the belly of Putuo Mountain within Guilin's Seven-Star Park, is a landmark of Guilin's landscape and a symbol of culture. It is named for the seven peaks surrounding it, which are arranged north to south like the Big Dipper. As early as the Sui and Tang dynasties, Seven-Star Rock was a tourist destination, also known as 'Qixia Cave,' and is one of the eight ancient sights of Guilin. Xu Xiake visited here twice for inspection, entering Seven-Star Rock from Qixia Temple. Qixia Temple was originally built during the Tang Dynasty and was renamed Shoufo Temple in the Ming Dynasty. Inside the temple, there are exquisite Tang-style Buddha statues, precious Dongyang wood carvings, and the tallest standing white jade Guanyin in China. Seven-Star Rock was originally a section of an underground river. Due to crustal movement, it rose to become a karst cave, with a history of over one million years. The cave maintains a constant temperature of 20 degrees Celsius all year round, and the middle layer area is open for visitors. At the entrance of Seven-Star Rock, there is the inscription 'The First Cave Heaven' written by Ming Dynasty scholar Zhang Wenxi. Inside the cave, there are more than 40 scenic spots such as Ancient Banyan Welcoming Guests, Bianzhai Scenery, Gathering of Heroes, Milky Way and Magpie Bridge, Stone Forest Seclusion, Peacock Spreading Its Tail, and Sending Guests with Pan Peach, which are all thought-provoking. Camel Mountain is a landmark landscape of Guilin known as 'Pot Mountain Red Glow,' with an altitude of 187.4 meters. It is shaped like a wine pot and is also known as Pot Mountain or Wine Pot Mountain. There are many wild macaques at the foot of the mountain. On the southern slope of Crescent Moon Mountain, there are more than 220 cliff carvings composed of Longyin Rock and Longyin Cave. There is a pavilion called Lanyue Pavilion at the top of the mountain, also known as Xuyun Pavilion. On the northern slope of Yuheng Peak of Crescent Moon Mountain, there is the Crescent Moon Tower, which corresponds to the wonderful pattern of 'Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon.' The inscription 'Crescent Moon Tower' was written by the literary giant Guo Moruo. On the mountainside of Putuo Mountain, there is Wenchang Pavilion, also known as 'Yongcui Pavilion,' which was built in the Ming Dynasty. On the mountainside of Tianji Peak, there is Bowang Pavilion, and at the peak, there is 'Zhaixing Pavilion,' a single-eave, octagonal pavilion, which is the only high pavilion among the seven peaks of Seven-Star Mountain. To the east, you can see Yao Mountain, Tiansheng Mountain, Pingfeng Mountain, and Cat Mountain; to the north, you can view Yu Mountain, Diecai Mountain, Fubo Mountain, Old Man Mountain, and the Li River; to the west, you can admire Elephant Trunk Hill and the victories of Nanxi, hence the name 'Kuangguan Pavilion.'
