Guilin Travel and Tour Guides
Guilin and its surrounding towns, counties, and area offer some of the most scenic tourist destinations of China. The Lijiang or (Li River) flows through Guilin city, leading to Yangshuo and then merges into Xijiang River in Wuzhou.
Li River cruises are available daily leaving early in the morning from Guilin to Yangshuo. Along the Lijiang cruise, you will likely encounter locals on Bamboo rafts that close in on the side of the cruise and latch their raft on to the side of the cruise boat. They are small business men who will try to sell you souvenirs.
Guilin Reed Flute Cave and Elephant Trunk Hill
Reed Flute Cave is the largest, and most popular karst cavern in Guilin. The Reed Flute Cave is located halfway up to Guangming Hill in northwest Guilin. It got its name from the reeds growing outside of the entrance.
The Reed Flute Cave is a huge cavern that is a guided walk through tour. Inside the reed flute cave, you will see many fantastic rock and stone formations highlighted by different colored lights. Many of these formations have unique Chinese names given to them based on their shape and representation.
The Elephant Trunk Hill in Guilin city got its name from its shape. Located along the side of the Li River, the hill is shaped like an elephant with a large trunk that is drinking water from the river.
According to legend, this hill was really an elephant that belonged to the Emperor of Heaven, and when the Jade Emperor set out to conquer earth, the elephant was made to work too hard and became ill; however, the elephant was saved by local farmers. The Elephant was grateful and decided to stay to help the farmers. The Emperor of Heaven was furious that the elephant had deserted him, and turned the elephant into stone while it was drinking from the River.
At the Elephant Trunk Hill there are bamboo rafts available that can take you for a short ride on the Lijiang River. The raft driver can also take you through under the trunk of the elephant as well.
