Depart from your hotel to visit the Fubo Hill,
which is famous for its picturesque shape and
beautiful caves. Located in the northeastern
part of the city, it stands by the Li River,
with half of its eastern foot submerged in water.
It is known for its Tang and Song Dynasty Buddhist
carvings in the foot cave named Returned Pearl
Cave, all accessible by steps leading up and
down the east and west side.
Then visit the Reed Flute Cave. Aside ten minutes
drive (half hour bike ride) from downtown, the
cave is one of the largest known examples of
what each tropical karst cone conceals within
it. The script writers and set designers for
Star Trek would have a field day in this cavernous
underground stalactite/stalagmite maze-style
theater. The dropping water is rich and the
dripstones are not only in various types but
also in big size, displaying a wonderful cave
world. This cave was called "The Art Gallery
of Mother Nature". Colored fluorescent
lights which cast shadows and illuminate shapes
of imaginary animals, fruits and vegetables
complete the unworldly effect.
After having lunch at local restaurant, visit
the Elephant Trunk Hill. Located on the west
bank of the Li River by a small branch called
Peach blossom River, the hill resembles a huge
elephant standing on the bank of the river,
sucking up water with its long trunk. The trunk
is particularly striking and lifelike when viewed
either nearby or afar. A circular foot cave
called Shui Yue Dong (Moon-In-the Water Cave)
separates the trunk and the body. A 3-story
Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 A.D) brick pagoda rises
from the top of hill.
Finally visit the Seven Star Park. With an area
of 100 hectare, the Seven Star Park is the largest
and one of the most beautiful parks in Guilin.
The park is so named for the seven peaks which
correspond to the number of stars in the Big
Dipper. There are many scenic tourist spots
in the park, such as the Flower Bridge, the
Seven Star Cave, the Banzai Garden and the Camel
Hill.
Then be transferred back to your hotel.
