Silver Cave runs through twelve mountains, renowned for its majestic, strange, secluded and beautiful features.

Yangshuo's Thousand-Mile River and Mountains Real-Life Panorama

This is not a painting hung on a wall, but a breathtaking natural landscape that closely mirrors the iconic blue-green landscape scroll a Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains by Wang Ximeng from the Northern Song dynasty. Located at Xiyang Mountain in Yangshuo County, this site is a globally recognized photography destination - named one of the World's Top 10 Photography Spots in 2019 and featured as the backdrop for CCTV's National Day special program in 2017.

From the top observation deck, visitors can enjoy unobstructed 360-degree views: rows of cone-shaped karst peaks, winding tributaries of the Li River, lush rice paddies, and scattered traditional villages with white walls and black tiles. The 40-minute golden hour before sunset bathes the peaks in warm, golden-green light, creating a dreamy scene reminiscent of a living traditional Chinese ink painting. When rainy days are followed by clear skies, floating mists drift between the peaks, adding a fairy-tale charm to the landscape.

The park boasts a perfect blend of idyllic scenery, ethnic customs and stunning natural landscapes. Visitors can explore the area via two main ways: water tour and hiking.

Water Tour: Glide in a small boat around the picturesque Swallow Lake, passing by pastoral villages, lush jungles and a mysterious cave. Along the route, you will pass the Singing Stage, Peach Blossom Island and primitive tribes, where you can enjoy distinctive ethnic songs and dances and frontier fortress customs.

Hiking Tour: Stroll through the ethnic village complex, which gathers architectures of various ethnic minorities in northern Guangxi, such as drum towers, wind-rain bridges, flower buildings, corridors and totem poles, fully displaying the splendor of diverse ethnic cultures.

The Yuanming Villa in the park combines the layout of Suzhou-style gardens with the architectural style of northern Guangxi folk houses. Every window frames a unique landscape, and every step brings a new view. Here, visitors can experience ancient papermaking and ancient printing techniques, appreciating the wisdom of the Chinese nation.

Fuli Bridge is a well-preserved ancient stone arch bridge in Yangshuo, with a history of more than 600 years. Built during the Ming Dynasty, it is a single-arch stone bridge crossing a quiet river, surrounded by green mountains and bamboo forests. It features a perfect moon reflection on the water. Quiet, picturesque and ideal for photography.

Cruise: Yulong River is known as the Little Li River in Yangshuo. The bamboo raft ride is one of the most peaceful and beautiful experiences in Guilin.

Glide slowly along crystal-clear water, passing by ancient stone bridges, lush bamboo groves, and classic karst mountains. Unlike motorized boats, these traditional bamboo rafts are quiet, letting you enjoy the calm countryside scenery.

It's perfect for relaxing, taking photos, and feeling like you're inside a Chinese landscape painting.

Elephant Trunk Hill is the symbol and landmark of Guilin. It looks like a giant elephant drinking water from the Li River with its trunk.

It is the most representative scenic spot of Guilin's landscape and a must-visit for tourists.
