Elephant Trunk Hill Park is a lovely place to visit even on a wetter day. The park meanders around much of the lake, and while it can be very busy in places, it is not hard to find peace and quiet. The views from the top are fantastic, and the views of the main rock from across the lake are lovely. Not worth a specific trip, but definitely a nice extra if you are in or near Guilin.#guilin #Elephant #parks #lakes

It was a foggy and drizzly day at Xiangshan scenic area but there were very few people around which was nice. I found this baijiu storage tunnel which we couldnt enter but the smell coming out the door was intoxicating enough. We went around the small mountain and through the small cave to reach the viewpoint under the natural arch of the Elephant Trunk. The mountain is pretty unique and the icon of Guilin so im glad to have seen it in person. #newyearadventure

As mostly when we do the travel, it is like a protocol that we stay in a hotel and go to touristy places. But this time we decided to turn a stranger to a friend; yea I'm talking about homestay. This house we contacted through a mutual friend and they are more than glad to have us in their house. So we had a warm stay in Guilin village, with lunch & dinner from freshly caught pond fish and other yummies. We had two relaxed days at their place and later on third day went to have a look in the city; also went to the famous elephant nose hill with lot of elephants playing around there 😋 (ofcourse dummies they are). So next time, try something different like a home stay and relax !! #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#lightthecity

The park mainly includes Shuiyue Cave, Elephant Trunk Rock, Elephant Eye Rock, Puxian Tower, Yunfeng Temple and Stupa. The most peculiar thing is the Elephant Trunk Hill, which looks like a big elephant. When you play, you always marvel at the magic of nature. [Seven Star Park] Seven Star Park is a relatively large park in Guilin. There are Qixingshan and Qixingyan in the park. I heard that Qixingyan is believed to be familiar to many people because of the textbooks of primary schools. Over. Qixingyan is a cave. Through the long years, many stalactites, stalagmites, stone pillars, stone sarcophagi and stone flowers have been formed. When you visit, you must have a guide to explain the doorway. [Night Tour Two Rivers and Four Lakes] Two rivers refer to the Minjiang River and the Taohua River in the city section; and the Four Lakes refer to Shanhu Lake, Wuhu Lake, Guihu Lake and Mulong Lake. The core attraction of this trip is in Mulong Lake. The whole scenic building is modeled after the section of the Qingming Shanghe Map. It can be seen that the overall style is characteristic of the Song Dynasty. The pavilions and pavilions, the waterfront promenade, are full of antiques in the night. When you swim here, there are performances to watch. [East Lane] East and West Lane is the only ancient street that was left over from the Ming and Qing Dynasties of Guilin. It includes Zhengyang Street East Lane, Jiangnan Lane and Lanjing Lane. It looks a bit like Chengdu. Wide and narrow alleys, all the alleys extend in all directions, there are a variety of specialties or food stores to visit. [Jingjiang Wangfu] From the east and west lanes, you can go directly to the Jingjiang Wangfu, and the well-known Zhungeges prototype Kong Si, the only Han singer who was given a princess, also lived. Here, so I can't help but look at it. [] Du Xiufeng is the core scenic spot of Wangfu in Jingjiang Wangfu. It can overlook the entire Guilin City when you climb the summit. The view is superb. About food: Guilin rice noodles are a must! Once called the two or two powders, and then the crispy pork, sour bamboo shoots, beans and other things together, very delicious, basically the taste of many local people on the road is very authentic. Authentic Guilin cuisine can choose Guiyou dining room, near the east and west lanes, the taste is authentic, and the oil tea is also super delicious. About accommodation: You can stay at the hotel or stay at the hotel, the price is not expensive. For the B&B, the Laoshan Mansion is recommended. It is on the edge of the Liangjiang Four Lakes Scenic Area. The environment is good and the style of the B&B is also good.

Beneath the water lies a luminous moon, while above it, the moon's reflection shimmers. The water flows, yet the moon remains; the moon fades, yet the water continues to flow. Elephant Trunk Hill, originally known as Lishan, is situated at the confluence of the Peach Blossom River and the Lijiang River. The mountain, named for its striking resemblance to a giant elephant drinking from the river, is hailed as the emblem of Guilin's landscape. It is renowned for its enchanting allure. Firstly, its form is incredibly lifelike; secondly, a moon-like formation suspended above the water between the elephant's trunk and leg creates the extraordinary spectacle of "Elephant Hill Water Moon". Elephant Trunk Hill is also the emblematic mountain of Guilin, a signature attraction for tourists. [Desert]Attraction Information [Island]Entrance to the Attraction There are three gates in total, with gates 1 and 3 serving as entrances, and gates 1 and 2 as exits. [1:00]Opening Hours Gate 1: 7:00～18:00 Gate 3: 7:00～21:00 [Beach]About the Visit [One]Visitors entering from Gate 1 should follow the path to the left and continue straight according to the signs to reach Elephant Trunk Hill. [Two]Bamboo raft rides are available within the park, but remember to negotiate the price. Our family paid 100 yuan for a ride that lasted less than ten minutes, which was not particularly cost-effective. [Three]The regular mineral water sold in the scenic area is priced at 6 yuan per bottle, which is slightly expensive. [Four]There is a shop selling bracelets directly opposite Elephant Trunk Hill, but beware of being overcharged. Each bead with a name on it costs 3 yuan. I thought buying three would cost 9 yuan, and with the other beads strung together, the total would not exceed 100 yuan. However, when the bracelet was finished, it turned out to cost 204 yuan. [Five]You can also continue to take a three-star boat tour of the Lijiang River. The scenery is incredibly beautiful, making it an ideal place to relax and enjoy the view. [Camping]Main Attractions 1⃣️Water Moon Cave: Located between the elephant's trunk and leg on Elephant Trunk Hill. Approximately 12,000 years ago, the uplift of the earth's crust caused the Lijiang River to narrow, promoting the formation of the Water Moon Cave. This cave, as transparent as the water moon, is very eye-catching. 2⃣️Elephant Eye Rock: Located on both sides of the waist of Elephant Trunk Hill, connecting the south and the north. Compared to the Water Moon Cave, Elephant Eye Rock formed earlier and is named for its location at the elephant's eye. 3⃣️Puxian Pagoda: Built during the Ming Dynasty, this towering pagoda dedicated to Bodhisattva Puxian is located at the top of the mountain. In China, there are only two places where pagodas dedicated to Puxian are found: one is on Mount Emei in Sichuan, and the other is on Elephant Trunk Hill. 📷Photography Tips [Clover]The steps on the opposite bank of Elephant Trunk Hill offer the best shooting angle, which is also the perspective used in textbook illustrations. [FourLeafClover]The viewing platform at the top of the mountain offers a panoramic view of the city. Those with good physical strength are advised to climb up, where the Puxian Pagoda is located.
