Reed Flute Cave,Fubo Hill and Elephant Trunk Hill and Seven Star Park & Solitary Peak.
Description : Guilin and the nearby Li River display some of the most unique and beautiful terrain in all of China. This half-day tour showcases some of the geographic and cultural highlights in the city of Guilin itself. Your adventure starts at Fubo Hill which has both natural beauty and historic art. Beginning in the Tang Dynasty, local artisans created intricate carvings and elegant stone Buddhas. From here it's on to Reed Flute Cave to see the impressive natural beauty of its stalactite and stalagmite formations. Locals call this cave the "Palace of Natural Arts," for reasons you’ll soon discover. Next will be a stop at a local pearl market for rest, refreshments and shopping. Then you will visit the centerpiece of Guilin's riverside park, Elephant Hill. Nature created this marvel some 3.5 million years ago and its shape resembles an elephant drinking water through its trunk. Then we'll climb up the hill to take in the panoramic scenery of the city, river and surrounding countryside. After that, we are going to the Seven Star Park which is one of the best urban parks in China and has something for just about everyone. The park is named after the seven peaks located throughout here that are shaped like the Big Dipper constellation. We'll finish our tour with a vigorous climb up the Solitary Beauty Peak (Duxiu Feng). It is one of Guilin's most prominent karst peaks and is located in the city center. If you are willing to make the 306 step trek to the peak, you will be rewarded with fantastic views of Guilin, the Lijiang River, and the surrounding peaks. However, the stairs are very steep and reaching the top can be dangerous. Depending on the weather and your experience level, it may be best to explore only part of the way.
