What is Xiangbishan?
|
The most visited place in Guilin, Xiangbishan is situated on the southern corner of Guilin city at a height of 220 metres above sea level. This nature’s marvel gives an impression that nature at one time was a child and was engrossed in playing with toys in animal formation, hence forming a submerged elephant like structure -with its trunk swindling in water giving an impression of a thirsty elephant quenching his thirst. Xiangbishan is the most recognised symbol of Guilin as it was once visible on the Chinese currency note making it a worthy spot for the tourist on their Guilin Travels.
Located at the point where the Lijiang River and Tahuo River submerge into each other, Xiangbishan has attracted visitors for centuries and has never failed to delight their sights when on Guilin Tours. |

Another mini attraction is the Moon Cave which is covered with water and is located under the Elephants trunk and legs. Reflecting the moon in its shimmery canvas, The moon cave makes the experience even more warm during your Guilin visit. Inside the cave, the tourist is welcomed by thousands of paintings, songs and odes inscribed on the wall during the Ming Dynasty.
On top of Xiangbishan, tourists can find The Puxian Pagoda, which was built 100s of years ago and is belied to bestow its good charm on all the visitors. Trekking is the best option to lose yourself in the mystifying Ming dynasty and their culture welcoming people all the way to the top. One can take their time out of their schedule to also visit the island of love and the Yunfeng Monastery by boat. |
