elephant trunk Hill
Guilin Elephant Trunk Mountain is the city emblem mountain in Guilin, located at the confluence of the Li River and Taohua River. It is named because the mountain is shaped like an elephant stretching its nose to drink the river. The water-moon cave between the elephant's trunk and its legs has water flowing through it, like a bright moon floating on water. There are also landscapes such as Puxian Tower and Yunfeng Temple, which combine natural beauty and cultural heritage and are symbols of Guilin's tourism.
