    The trip to the cave last about one hour with 240 meters long walking distance.
    Elephant Trunk Hill
    Elephant Trunk Hill is very representative of the landscape around Guilin and is a landmark of Guilin as well. The shape of the hill is just like a huge elephant drinking water from the river with its trunk, so it is called Elephant Trunk Hill.
    Standing majestically at the confluence of the Li River and Taohua River, the Elephant-trunk Hill is an outstanding tourist attraction even in early Tang and Song dynasties.
    Fubo Hill
    Fubo Hill (Wave-subduing Hill) is known as its picturesque shape and bizarre caves.
    At the foot of the hill there is a cave, in which you will see lots of statues of Buddha left about 1000 years ago and one remains wonder named Sword-Testing Rock hangs from the ceiling, nearly touching the ground.
    While ascending the very top at the height of 213 meters (698.8 feet), you will get birds eye view of this dreamlike city.
    Folded Brocade Hill
    Folded Brocade Hill is famous for 90 Buddha images of the Tang and Song dynasties, as well as dozens of inscriptions of poets and other writings of various dynasties.
    Its name is derived from its queer-looking rocks which are broken horizontally. The hackled rock formation with patterns that strongly suggest a great pile of folded colorful brocade has acquired the present name for the hill.
    The Brocade Hill, the Du Xiu Peak and the FuBo Hill Stand like the three legs of a tripod. All these three hills are the famous tourist attractions of Guilin.
    Seven Star Park
    With an area of 100 hectare, the Seven Star Park is said to be one of the largest and the nicest city parks in Guilin city.
