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.

Guilin Four Days and Three Nights Travel Guide 4.11 Arrived at Guilin North Station at ten in the morning, checked into the hotel, ordered some takeout for a light meal and rested. In the afternoon, got up to climb Elephant Trunk Hill and visited the Two Rivers and Four Lakes scenic area. You can set out at around three or four in the afternoon, enter from the No. 1 entrance of Elephant Trunk Hill, climb the hill, and visit the museum. There's a great photo spot near Gate No. 3. The Elephant Trunk Hill post office has 28 stamp collection points, sisters can bring their own notebooks. It doesn't get dark in Guilin until seven in the evening, and the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas are more beautiful when lit up at night. I don't recommend taking a bamboo raft or boat tour. Outside Gate No. 3 of the Elephant Trunk Hill scenic area, there's a Guilin Rice Noodle post office with a free stamp collection point! Correcting a misconception, the Two Rivers and Four Lakes, Elephant Trunk Hill, East-West Alley, and Zhengyang Pedestrian Street are all close together, if you walk fast, you can finish visiting them in one afternoon + evening. The two commercial streets can be visited separately. We visited Zhengyang Pedestrian Street on our first day. There's a stamp collection point at the Muxiangtang in East-West Alley, with a 10 yuan discount, and for 15 yuan you can collect all the stamps. 4.12~4.13 Two-day tour in Yangshuo 4.12 In the morning, took a four-hour Li River cruise to Yangshuo, very worthwhile! Overcast and sunny weather each have their own beauty. Arrived in Yangshuo at one-thirty in the afternoon, took a sightseeing bus to Ten-Mile Gallery. Here's a correction, the Ten-Mile Gallery starts from Fengming Parking Lot, rent an electric scooter from there to tour, don't go over the Gongnong Bridge, just find your way slowly. Make sure you're skilled at riding the electric scooter, as there are quite a few and they're not easy to ride. Took a taxi to the Guilin Eternal Love scenic area, definitely go see the performance of Guilin Eternal Love, the ticket is very worth it! You can spend an hour visiting the scenic area, which is not very large. If it's not too late after the performance, you can go to West Street for a stroll. 4.13 If you get up early, you can go see the sunrise at Xianggong Mountain, but I didn't get up orz. In the morning, went to Yulong River for bamboo rafting, dressed lightly, brought a raincoat, sandals. You can choose the rafting section according to your needs. Remember to buy tickets in advance and bring the necessary documents. After rafting, you can wander around, going to Shangri-La or Xingping Ancient Town is fine. Didn't see Impression Liu Sanjie, so no comment. If you have plenty of time, you can go see it too. Return trip in the afternoon. If you still have energy in the evening, you can go to the Xiaoyao Tower and Jingjiang Princes' City for a visit, which is right at East-West Alley, citywalk a bit. 4.14 Since I was too tired from the return trip from Yangshuo, I chose to pack my luggage in the morning, then visit Xiaoyao Tower and Jingjiang Princes' City, and solve lunch at East-West Alley. Return trip in the afternoon.

The tourist circle centered on Elephant Trunk Hill🐘 covers the old attractions of Guilin, which can be reached by bus🚌 and walking🚶‍♀️. First stop: Elephant Trunk Hill (about 90 minutes) Elephant Trunk Hill Scenic Area, 🎫tickets are free, 🉑can be booked on Ctrip, scan ID card🪪 at the entrance, the park has 2 entrances and exits. Please note⚠️ there is a river channel after entering the park. If you want to climb the mountain, you need to walk along the river bank inside. If you want to take pictures of Elephant Trunk Hill🐘, you need to walk along the river channel outside, where you can take a panoramic view of people and mountains. Second stop: Sun and Moon Twin Towers (about 30 minutes) Sun and Moon Twin Towers, tickets🎫 35, Ctrip 28. But I think you can not buy tickets, in the Sun and Moon Twin Towers Cultural Park, you can take pictures of the shadowy twin towers during the day, and it's great to take pictures📷 under the tower at night, free. If you want to climb the tower, buy a ticket. 🍜Search for a well-reviewed rice noodle shop nearby for lunch, when in Rome, do as the Romans do～ Third stop: Jingjiang Prince's Mansion (about 90 minutes) Duxiu Peak Wangcheng Scenic Area, tickets🎫 100, is the most expensive attraction in the city. I didn't go in, it's the mansion of Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, built 34 years earlier than the Forbidden City, said to be the dragon vein and cultural vein of Guilin, 🉑see the whole Guilin city. We can't climb, and the Forbidden City is only 40, so we just checked in at the door. Fourth stop: East-West Alley (about 90 minutes) East-West Alley, is a commercial street, and Zhengyang Pedestrian Street is in a T-shape. So you can shop here until night, go to the pedestrian street, a bit like Chengdu's Kuanzhai Alley, antique architectural block, there are various small shops inside, and many places to take ethnic portraits. Fifth stop: Zhengyang Pedestrian Street (40 minutes for shopping, meals not included) Zhengyang Pedestrian Street, is a food street around the scenic area. There are many shops selling souvenirs, but many shops are not open before 4:00 pm. The restaurants are average, maybe I'm not used to it, but it's not expensive, search online are all tourist set meals. 🥗Have dinner and wait for the sunset～ Six stop: Night view of Sun and Moon Twin Towers Sun and Moon Twin Towers, look at the Sun and Moon Twin Towers at night, it's like visiting a small park, the opposite Li River is also a different quiet from the daytime. There are many fruit🥭 stalls on the roadside, if you like to experience, you can buy some, don't care about the price. Such a day will not be tired, and the tour is very comfortable, suitable for families with elderly and children👪 to travel. If you are fast, you can go back to the hotel for a nap.

The year 2024 might be considered a complete year, as this year I started off with a Spring Festival trip. My travel destination for the year is Guangxi! Since it's a road trip and the time after the New Year isn't particularly long, Guangxi is my travel destination for the year. Another reason is that the north was too crowded this year, so I didn't go that far and squeeze with others. Departing from Guangzhou, we entered Wuzhou from Zhaoqing, and then arrived in Guilin. Now I am at the second stop【Yangshuo】. This time I chose to stay at a farmhouse B&B near Jiuma Mountain . This is also where the background of the 20 yuan note is located. It's also a spot everyone wants to check in at when they come to Yangshuo. Sightseeing recommendations~~~ 1. If you're staying near Jiuma Mountain, you can rent a small electric scooter to get around, usually costing about 40. 2. Head to the "20 yuan background" photo spot, visiting two places in total. The first is the exit of Xingping Ancient Town, where fishermen with cormorants can be found by the roadside, and they charge for photos. The second is Wangwang Food Fish Restaurant, just across the road from the 20 yuan background. Sometimes it's quite crowded. Sightseeing tips~~~ 1. If possible, it's still recommended to take a bamboo raft for a better experience. The ticket price for the raft is not expensive. 2. For photos , you can just find a bamboo raft by the river to take them, 20 per person, and you can bargain! 3. If you want to take photos, be sure to talk directly with people by the river, don't look for intermediaries on the shore, as they charge a middleman fee . 4. For parking, navigate to "Wangwang Food Fish Restaurant"; parking costs 20, and it's free if you dine at the restaurant.

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. [CoconutTree]Journey Experience Elephant Trunk Hill is the emblematic mountain of Guilin, a landmark of Guilin tourism. Here, you can experience the magic and beauty of Guilin's landscape, realizing the dream of "Guilin's landscape is the best under heaven". The illustrations in the textbooks are perfectly presented here, and the wonders of nature are fully embodied. This is not only a great place to enjoy the view but also a great place to take photos.
