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.

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. Whether you are overlooking the city or shooting the attractions on the mountainside, you can leave unforgettable memories. Whether you are a tourist with a strong interest in Guilin's landscape or a landmark tourist coming to check in, Elephant Trunk Hill is a place worth visiting.
