Elephant Trunk Hill (Guilin)
This landmark of Guilin offers great views of the city. Enter the park and to your left you can get views of the elephant trunk hill (with its trunk in the water). To the left, you ascend the stairs to get to the top of the elephant for magnificent views of Guilin and the Li river. Be sure to use the bathroom at the entrance as there are no opportunities along the way or at the top of the hill. Take water with. There are benches at the top of the hill to rest. Be sure to wander around and find the little cave where you can see the trunk from the other side (Some call this the eye of the elephant). The entire trip should not take more than an hour. This attraction is free and can be done at your own leisure.

Escape to a peaceful paradise: Guilin, China
Overall - This hotel was absolutely perfect for our one night transition from arriving to the airport to exploring the beauty of Guilin. The room was so well put together with beautiful interior design that provided a calm and peaceful environment. Beds were very comfortable, the amenities were impressive, the rooms was incredibly clean, and the L’occtaine body wash was a major plus! :)
Breakfast - Our room included breakfast which was delicious. We ordered the western set the night before. It arrived with many options of food from American and English influence. Hash browns were a 10/10.
Getting There - About a 45 minute drive from the Guilin International Airport.
Attractions - We visited the Sun and Moon Pagodas which are located directly outside of the hotel’s entrance! Elephant Trunk Hill is also within walking distance of the hotel and is a beautiful hike with lush scenery.
Food & Restaurants - We ate at a delicious Indian restaurant located just around the corner called ‘Kali Mirch Indian Cuisine’. I think it may have been the best Indian food I’ve had so far in my three years living in China. HIGHLY recommend! :)
