Guilin Testimonials

Thank you so much for the awesome service today! Geoffry and the driver, Mr Shang, were great today. Geoffry was by the exit to the Guilin airport exactly where I walked out. And he did a great job as my guide. The van for the tour was clean and in good condition. The only suggestion I would make for better service would be to allow the guide to eat lunch with the guest when the guest is alone. It was kind of awkward eating alone, and there was plenty of food served which could have easily fed the both of us. I'm hoping the coach tours will be a great experience as well. Thanks again, Jack Benzel

Elephant Trunk Hill

Elephant Trunk Hill is one of the Lijiang River's most important sights. It is located at the junction of the Li and Yang rivers to the southeast of Guilin. The rock hill with an arched hole (known as the water-moon arch) is named after its striking resemblance to an elephant sipping water.

On calm days, this giant elephant is reflected on the mirror-like surface of the river and in the evening, when viewed under a moonlit sky, the hill creates a lasting and magical impression. A narrow winding path leads to the top of the hill and the Samantabhadra Tower. Built from solid brick and dating from the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), the tower core is round like a bottle or the handle of a sword, so the tower is also referred to as the Precious Bottle Tower or the Sword Handle Tower. Elephant Trunk Hill is regarded as the symbol of Guilin.

How to get there:
Take Bus No. 2 to Wenchang Bridge, then cross the bridge and the park is in sight.
Entrance Fee: RMB 25
