象鼻山

Elephant Trunk Hill is located where the Taohua River merges into the Li River. The entrance to the waterfront forms an outline that resembles an elephant drinking water, and has long been a symbol of Guilin. Shuiyue Cave, the inscriptions of past dynasties and the Ming Dynasty Puxian Pagoda on the top of the mountain add a humanistic layer to the compact peak; observing the overall landscape from the surrounding river banks is usually clearer than just rushing up the mountain.

靖江王城与独秀峰

Jingjiang Imperial City was the seat of the Jingjiang Prince's Palace in the Ming Dynasty. It was built with Duxiu Peak in the center of Guilin as its core. Preserving the city walls, gate towers, later institutional uses and mountain inscriptions connects the vassal system with Guilin's karst urban environment; climbing the peak allows you to observe how the historical city developed among the isolated peaks from a compact scale.
