The Elephant Hill Scenic Area is located in the heart of Guilin, at the confluence of the Li River and the Peach Blossom River. It derives its name from its resemblance to a giant elephant stretching its trunk to drink from the sweet waters of the Li River. In his work "Records of Elephant Hill," Shu Shu, a Qing Dynasty official from the Ministry of Works, wrote: "The marvels of Guangxi lie in its mountains; the marvels of Guangxi's mountains lie in their rocks, and the elephant-shaped hill facing the provincial capital is the most marvelous of all." With its lifelike form, the attraction captivates visitors and stands as a quintessential representation of Guilin's landscape. In 1995, it was designated as the city emblem of Guilin. The main attractions in the scenic area include: Elephant Hill and Water Moon, Puxian Pagoda, Elephant Hill Scenic Area and Guilin Sanhua Liquor, Elephant Hill Scenic Area - Love Island, and Elephant Hill Scenic Area - Yunfeng Temple Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Exhibition Hall.

The water flows but the moon stays, the moon departs yet the water still flows." On a moonlit night, visiting the Water Moon Cave at the Elephant Trunk Hill attraction presents a magical scene where the moon in the sky, the cave, and the water reflect each other beautifully.

On the northern side of the pagoda, there is a line-engraved bluestone statue of a bodhisattva, with the mantra "Namo Puxian Bodhisattva" inscribed above it, hence the name Puxian pagoda in the Xiangshan attraction.

The scenic area is actually quite large, especially the later parts with many beautiful views. However, walking around can be tiring, and it also requires the right time and lighting. With good lighting and the right season, it's truly beautiful, and I would definitely go again.

This trip to Gupo Mountain was definitely worthwhile! 💦The waterfall was at its lowest water level, so we took photos along the way. The dense trees allowed sunlight to filter through, making every shot a beautiful one.📸 What I want to praise most is the景区 service. Bringing the family wasn't tiring at all! 👍 The signs were clear, the restrooms were clean, and the staff were very helpful when we asked for directions. We also strolled around Fangjia Tea Garden and the winery, and relaxed on the large lawn – so comfortable! 😌 Half a day was well worth the ticket price, and I'll definitely come back!

The Jade Forest in Hezhou is definitely worth a visit; the scenery is beautiful. The jade stones are white marble, slowly exposed due to mining. The scenic area isn't too big or too small; you can walk through it in about two hours. It happened to be during the Qingming Festival, and along the way, we saw many people shoveling stones and setting off firecrackers on the mountain.

The attraction is well-designed, and since there aren't many visitors right now, it's a good time to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. From the main gate to the cave entrance, it's 1.2 kilometers; you can take a round-trip electric cart for 8 yuan, or walk. At the cave entrance, guided tours are offered in batches, lasting about 40 minutes. Having a guide makes the experience much clearer, which is commendable.

The hydrangeas are abundant and definitely worth seeing. There are tons of photo spots, perfect for photography enthusiasts. There are waterfalls, one of which looks like a miniature version of the Jiulong Waterfall in Qikong and Daqikong. There's also a slide where you can slide down in a flash.

We entered from the South Gate. Although there were many people, it wasn't chaotic at all. The signs were very clear, and the staff were very responsible. It was a very enjoyable trip for the kids; Guangzhou is beautiful and delicious. It was our first time seeing a rhinoceros and our first time riding a cable car—a great experience!

When visiting Guilin, a must-see is Elephant Trunk Hill, the city's iconic landmark. It truly lives up to its reputation as the face of Guilin's landscape; only by seeing it in person can one truly appreciate the wonders of nature. The entire mountain sits on the banks of the Li River, resembling a giant elephant bowing to drink from the water. The Water Moon Cave cuts through the mountain, its reflection shimmering in the water, creating the famous Elephant Trunk Hill and Water Moon spectacle—a flowing ink painting. The scenic area is clean and comfortable, with walking paths built along the Li River, shaded by lush trees, making for a delightful stroll. You can climb the mountain for panoramic views of Guilin, or find classic vantage points along the riverbank to capture stunning, atmospheric photos. Boat trips are also available, offering a different and breathtaking perspective of Elephant Trunk Hill from the river. The scenic area is conveniently located in the city center, with excellent transportation and comprehensive facilities. Every step reveals a new vista, allowing you to truly experience the unparalleled beauty of Guilin's landscape. Don't miss it when traveling to Guilin; it's definitely worth a visit.
