Lijiang River in Guilin |
Guilin is regarded as the most picturesque city in China. Two crystal-clear rivers meander through the city, which are encircled by hills with unusual and bizarre rock formations and caves inside.
The Lijiang River is the highlight and climax of any journey to Guilin. Created by a stirring "Movement of Mother Nature", the Lijiang River cruise will provide you a great enjoyment of its charming scenery.
Elephant Trunk Hill (Xiangshan) is the badge of Guilin City, and was given its name because the hill looks exactly like an elephant drinking from the river with its trunk. It is a masterpiece of karst landscape, composed of pure limestone deposited on the sea floor 360 million years ago.
The Silver Cave is a Karst cave, and a collection of various stalactites formed in different geologic times. At present, about 2km of cave is opened to tourists, including lower cave, grand hall and upper cave.
