What to expect at DuxiufengReading Rock at the southeast side of Duxiufeng is acclaimed as the oldest cultural spot there. Its name comes from the historical fact that the then prefecture, Yan Yanzhi (384 - 456) usually read books close to the rock. You can find the oldest essay in the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907) depicting Guilin’s landscape.
Standing at the southwest side of the peak, Peaceful Cave features the carving image with a history of more than 360 years. Duxiufeng offers 136 pieces of stone carvings. Carved at the south wall of the peak, Nantian Yizhu is the largest among the carvings. Made in the Yuan Dynasty (1271 - 1368),the carving image of Confucius is exquisite. Overlooking the entire city of Guilin, Duxiu Pavilion on the top of the peak is an antique one. Lattice windows between the pillars are one of the amazing views there. Snow Cave at the east foot of the peak features the white wall. The stalactites in the cave are snow-white. As the peak is located in the Jingjiang Prince City, it is suggested to explore the peak together with the city. |
