Depart from your hotel to 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.
Then 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.
Finally 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.
