Elephant Trunk Hill Scenery

Elephant Hill is located at the confluence of the Taohua River and the Li River in Guilin. In 1995, it was designated as the city emblem of Guilin. The main attractions in the scenic area include Elephant Trunk Hill, Water Moon Cave, Elephant Eye Rock, Puxian Pagoda, Sanhua Wine Cellar, Love Island, and the Yunfeng Temple Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Revolutionary Site Museum. The famous Water Moon Cave contains 22 historical stone carvings from the Tang and Song dynasties, with 3,065 characters, making it the only water cave with the most stone carvings from the Tang and Song dynasties. It was twice awarded the title of "China's Most Beautiful Moon-Viewing Spot" by CCTV in 2013 and 2014. In 2016, it was selected as the venue for the southern branch of the 2017 CCTV Spring Festival Gala (Year of the Rooster). Therefore, Elephant Trunk Hill is not only a representative of Guilin's landscapes but also a symbol of harmony between humans and nature in Chinese landscapes.
