🌱Attraction Introduction
Elephant Trunk Hill, originally named Lishan, is located at the confluence of the Peach Blossom River and the Lijiang River in Guilin City. The mountain is named for its resemblance to a giant elephant standing by the river and drinking from the Lijiang River. It is known as the symbol of Guilin's landscape.
Elephant Trunk Hill is famous for its magic. Its magic lies first in its resemblance, and second in the creation of a round moon between the nose and legs, forming the spectacular scene of "Elephant Mountain Water Moon". Elephant Trunk Hill is the emblem mountain of Guilin and the symbol mountain of Guilin tourism.
🌟Main Attractions
1⃣️Shuiyue Cave: Between the elephant's trunk and legs of Elephant Trunk Hill. About 12,000 years ago, the earth's crust rose, the Lijiang River shrank, and the development of Shuiyue Cave accelerated, forming a transparent round hole.
2⃣️Elephant Eye Rock: Located on the north and south sides of the waist of Elephant Trunk Hill, they pass through each other, forming an era earlier than Shuiyue Cave, named for its location just at the elephant's eye.
3⃣️Puxian Pagoda: The Puxian Pagoda, which stands on the top of the mountain, was built during the Ming Dynasty to worship Puxian Bodhisattva. There are only two Buddhist pagodas in China that worship Puxian, one is on Emei Mountain in Sichuan, and the other is on Elephant Trunk Hill in Guilin.

Elephant Trunk Hill Park
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

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

[Xiangshan Park] Elephant trunk The mountain is definitely the number one brand of Guilin tourism. 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.

You would never guess, but I found the scene from my elementary school textbook at Elephant Trunk Hill in Guilin! 🏔 Elephant Trunk Hill is not only the emblem of Guilin but also the pinnacle of my travel experiences! Riding a bamboo raft, I felt like I had stepped into that painting—gliding on the green waves, traveling within the painting, the ambiance was simply incredible!
🌕 Water Moon Cave is truly a masterpiece of nature, with 12,000 years of craftsmanship that left me in awe! The north-south passage of Elephant Eye Rock gave me a taste of the 'eyes' of the mountain. And Puxian Pagoda, an ancient tower from the Ming Dynasty, made me feel the weight of history.

Jiangxi Yingtan Tourism, Longhu Mountain has an Elephant Trunk Hill, Zhengyi Temple of Heavenly Master
World Absolute Danxia Dream Forget the Road Traveled, Forge Ahead on a New Journey Longhu World Absolute, only after visiting Longhu Mountain, can one understand the grandeur of mountains and rivers described in books, and the vastness of the human world... Unexpectedly, my second trip to Jiangxi this year turned out to be to Longhu Mountain in Yingtan City. I had previously visited Sanqing Mountain. Longhu Mountain is also a famous Taoist mountain with a thousand-year history, witnessing the long-standing Taoist culture. Longhu Mountain, with its clear waters and red mountains, is a typical Danxia landform in China. Every part of it is a masterpiece of nature. Having seen the Danxia landform in Aksu, Xinjiang, Yingtan's is a bit different.
Longhu Mountain: Located about 20 kilometers southwest of Yingtan City, it is China's eighth World Natural Heritage site, a World Geopark, and a natural oxygen bar... It features typical Danxia landform scenery, with Danxia mountains composed of blocky red conglomerate from the Late Cretaceous fluvial-alluvial fan. The scenery is magnificent, a miraculous creation of nature. The scenic area is characterized by the interdependence of mountains and waters, with beautiful scenery, including majestic peaks, clear streams, and dense forests, forming beautiful landscapes. This mountain is one of the birthplaces of Taoist culture. It is said that in the mid-Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling, the founder of Zhengyi Taoism, once refined elixirs here, and it is said that 'when the elixir was completed, dragons and tigers appeared,' hence the name of the mountain. Since then, Longhu Mountain has become a sacred place for Taoism, with generations of Heavenly Masters residing here. The Taoist buildings in the scenic area are simple and elegant, full of mystery and solemnity. Here are the main attractions:
1. Elephant Trunk Hill: Known as 'the world's first divine elephant,' it is one of the iconic landscapes. It belongs to the stone beam through-hole type landscape, a natural wonder formed by long-term rain erosion and weathering collapse. On a peak about 100 meters high, a stone beam hangs in the air, making the entire mountain look like a giant stone elephant drinking water, lifelike. The huge elephant trunk seems to descend from the sky, deeply embedded in the ground, full of spirituality, a masterpiece of nature. This Elephant Trunk Hill is different from the one I saw in Guilin, resembling a giant elephant drinking water, a marvel of nature that leaves people in awe.
2. Zhengyi Temple: Originally named Ancestral Heavenly Master Temple, it was built at the end of the Han Dynasty by the fourth-generation Heavenly Master Zhang Sheng to worship the Ancestral Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling. After multiple renovations and name changes, it was officially named Zhengyi Temple during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. The existing buildings were rebuilt in 2000 on the original site in the style of Song Dynasty architecture. The Zhengyi Temple complex faces east and is symmetrical from north to south, mainly including the main gate, ceremonial gate, bell and drum towers, Yuan Tan Hall, Ancestor Worship Hall, Ancestral Master Hall, and Jade Emperor Tower. Zhengyi Temple is simple and elegant, majestic, a good place to understand Taoism, the way of nature, and how humans should coexist with nature. Here, both men and women can practice, marry, and have children. 🧑🧑🧒🧒
3. Si Han Heavenly Master Mansion, also known as Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Mansion, etc., is located on Longhu Mountain in Shangqing Town. It is the ancestral court of the Zhengyi sect of Taoism. It is said that since the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the founder of Taoism, Zhang Daoling, refined the Nine Heavens Divine Elixir on Longhu Mountain, the Zhang family descendants have inherited the position of Heavenly Master on Longhu Mountain for sixty-three generations, spanning over nineteen hundred years. The existing wooden structures of the Heavenly Master Mansion mainly date back to the Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Tongzhi periods of the Qing Dynasty, with multiple repairs. Based on the architectural layout of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the layout is rigorous and orderly, with the mansion gate, second gate, and private residence as the central axis. It includes the Jade Emperor Hall, Heavenly Master Hall, and Wanfa Zongtan, making it one of the most complete ancient Taoist architectural complexes in China, integrating Taoist culture and royal architectural features. The mansion is shaded by lush camphor trees, providing a tranquil environment. It is an indispensable part of China's Taoist culture, carrying rich Taoist cultural heritage and promotion. 'The Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things...' There are also Taoist doctors here who can take pulses and diagnose, and you can learn from them, as it is an intangible cultural heritage!

In Guilin!!! Not Switzerland!! This is the most successful trend-following I've ever done!!
Guilin's scenery is the best in the world!! When the weather is clear, every minute feels like walking in an ink painting!! The continuous beautiful green mountains and waters are so healing! Posting ⭕ makes people think I went to Switzerland.
When you come to Guilin, don't rush to Yangshuo right after getting off the train. Be sure to spend a day in the city. Taste local snacks, visit Elephant Trunk Hill and the Two Rivers and Four Lakes. This small city surrounded by mountains and waters is really beautiful!!
✔Attached 📷 super practical guide:
📍Location:
20 minutes drive from Guilin North Station to 'Guihai Qinglan', the ticket 🎫 is only 25!! However, the location is relatively remote, and only the ticket gate has simple water and ice cream for sale. You can bring a picnic mat and food for a picnic 🧺.
👗Outfit:
Pure white or pure black dresses will look more advanced and photogenic‼‼ Also, bring a woven hat as a prop, it looks great whether you wear it or place it beside you!
📷Shooting time:
On a sunny day with blue sky and white clouds, from 5 PM to 7 PM, around 6:30 PM when the sunset light falls, it's stunning!
‼Tips:
Be sure to do a good job of sun protection!! We weren't bitten by mosquitoes when we went, but it's still safer to bring some mosquito repellent!! Watch out for kids when they are near the lake!

The scenery of Yangshuo surpasses that of Guilin, and it is indeed not an exaggeration
The scenery of Guilin is the best in the world, and the scenery of Yangshuo is the best in Guilin.
I deeply agree with the latter part of this sentence.
I took my family, both the elderly and the young, to Guilin for five days, traveling by car. We spent the first two nights in Guilin and the last two nights in Yangshuo.
Indeed, the scenery in Yangshuo is more breathtaking.
However, whether in Guilin or Yangshuo, one feels like a lamb to the slaughter among the tourists. The most memorable impression of the entire city is the persistent vendors, the touts, and the frustration of having the best photo spots cordoned off for a fee. Every attraction seems to be trying its hardest to make you spend money, and these expenses come from every imaginable or unimaginable process.
For example, at the Longji Rice Terraces, while we were either gazing or chatting at the starting point of the scenic area, we were mysteriously recorded by a camera. When we finished our tour and were about to leave, an auntie came rushing up with printed photos, asking if we wanted to buy them, for 50 or 80 yuan each, I forget. It was utterly speechless.
For instance, the incessant calls of 'buy some oranges,' 'take a ride,' 'take a boat,' 'buy some toys for the kids'... These calls might just affect the ambient noise, but they would follow you closely, wherever you go, they follow.
I have to say that the scenery in Guilin and Yangshuo is beautiful, but the tourism environment and order need improvement (personal feeling).
The main attractions we visited were: Elephant Trunk Hill Scenic Area, Two Rivers and Four Lakes Scenic Area, 20 Yuan Scenic Area, Bamboo Rafting, Ten-Mile Gallery, Longji Rice Terraces, and Guilin Romance Park. These attractions are all beautiful!

👀 Elephant Eye Cave: There is a path on Elephant Trunk Hill that allows you to go up and down the hill. Elephant Eye Cave is a hole in the middle of the hill that goes right through it.
👀 Puxian Tower: This tower is located at the top of Elephant Trunk Hill and looks like an elephant carrying the tower on its back, which aligns with the story of Puxian Bodhisattva's mount being an elephant. At night, the tower looks like an elephant carrying a treasure vase, giving the impression that good things are about to happen.
👀 Shuiyue Cave: Walking from the east side of Elephant Trunk Hill, you will find this cave. It is a round cave formed by the contact between the elephant trunk and the water surface.
🔥 The elephant trunk-shaped cave is perfect for photos! Around five or six in the evening, when the sun is setting, with the sun and bamboo rafts in the background, the view from the cave's stone entrance is truly beautiful!

Day3 On the third day, we went to Ten-Mile Gallery and Yulong River for bamboo rafting. It is said that Guilin's landscape is the best under heaven, and Yangshuo's is even better than Guilin's, truly living up to its reputation! The somersault car and drones at Ten-Mile Gallery are a perfect match YYDS Full of photo-taking ladies ~You must book the Yulong River bamboo raft in advance~We booked the Jimah Wharf, the whole journey took 80 minutes, 9 dams~In the evening, we had dinner on West Street, Sister Liu's Beer Fish is good It's considered a local specialty dish~After dinner, we watched the show 'Impression of Guilin', very impressive~

Oh, the portrait was taken at a random shop on Yangshuo West Street, the retouched photos were okay, it was a parent-child shoot, 699~
In summary, these four days were very fulfilling and not too tiring~
Forks and Footsteps
The city is filled with mist and rain, and Guilin's landscape is the best under heaven
Fire two shots and change the location, one at dusk and one at dawn. It's still the same Elephant Trunk Hill, still the same Sun and Moon Pagodas, but looking at them at different times gives different feelings.
Today's Guilin is shrouded in mist and rain, with the landscape faintly discernible. Compared to yesterday's scorching heat, it seems like a change of two seasons. Shoes are wet, hair is damp, and the people who set out together have scattered along the way.
Those once prominent names, the heroes of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew King Jingjiang, the vice president of the nation in haste, and his astute and capable wife, all are gone. Groups of macaques frolic, stone statues stand silent, and inscriptions from dynasties past hang high above.
The spring waters of the Li River flow gently green, and fine rain mingles with the vast sky for a leisurely journey.
