Fubo Hill (Wave-Subduing Hill), is 120 meters long, 60 meters wide and 213 meters high. It stands solitarily in the northeast of the city and on west bank of Li River with half of the hill stretching into the river. Waves run back wherever they meet the blocks, hence the name "wave-subduing Hill". A tale has it that Ma Yuan who was called General Fubo from the Han Dynasty had once passed by Guilin on a southern expedition. He poured all the pearls he carried into the river, so the hill was named after him in his memory.
At the foot of the hill there is the renowned Pearl-Returning Cave, which cocnsists of many small and side caves, connected like a maze. A big stalactite column a few meters high, big on the ceiling and tapering downwards, hanging from the ceiling to the ground. It is very unique. Each visitor will not miss seeing it. Since the space between the column and the ground looks to be the act by a sword cut, hence the name of Sword Testing Stone.
