Outdoor sights in Guìlín

  1. A

    Elephant Hill Park

    At the southern end of Guìlín where the Li River and the Taohua River converge, one of Guìlín's best-promoted sights is Elephant Hill Park, where Elephant Trunk Hill - unlike other misshapen lumps of rock with tenuous names extracted from Chinese myth - indeed resembles a proboscidean mammal dipping its snout into the Li River. Visit Water Moon Cave and head up the peak walk to Puxian Pagoda (Pǔxián Tǎ) for views of the park and the picturesque Li River.

    Cormorant fishing in the Li River is a popular tourist drawcard. Take bus 2 or freebie buses 57 or 58 to the hill.

  2. B

    Tunnel Hill Park

    South of Seven Stars Park and still on the eastern side of the Li River, this Tunnel Hill Park is expensive, but rates a mention as many locals insist its cave is superior to those of Seven Stars Park.
