🇨🇳:The symbol of Guilin! Elephant Trunk Hill

Natural art that looks like an elephant drinking water🐘🌊 Located at the intersection of the Li River and the Taohua River that flow through Guilin City, "Elephant Trunk Mountain" is a strange rock formation that looks like an elephant stretching its trunk to drink water, as its name suggests. It is a landmark that represents Guilin and a popular spot visited by many tourists✨ There is a cave called "Suiyue Cave" on the mountainside, and many inscriptions left by poets and calligraphers of the past are engraved inside the cave. In addition, if you climb to the top of the mountain, you can see the beautiful scenery of Guilin City and the Li River, which is also perfect for photography📸 It is lit up at night, and you can enjoy a fantastic atmosphere that is different from the daytime. In particular, the silhouette of Elephant Trunk Mountain reflected on the surface of the river is a spectacular view that is sure to look great on Instagram. #Let's go to China #Elephant Trunk Mountain #Guilin Tourism #Natural Art #Instagrammable #Guilin Spectacular Scenery

🌤️ Guilin: Where Modern Vibes Meet Misty Mountain Magic Guilin is all about jaw-dropping karst landscapes, serene rivers, and a splash of urban style—perfect for soaking up stunning views, feeling at peace, and catching that fresh “nature-chill” energy. You’ll find classic Chinese architecture blending with sleek modern buildings, especially at dusk when city lights set the scene for dreamy photos. Recommended Route: Kick off your day at Elephant Trunk Hill (Xiangbishan): it’s iconic, offers classic river panoramas, and is best explored early in cloudy or rainy weather—the mist adds a mystical touch for your shots. Next, stroll along the Two Rivers and Four Lakes area for an open-air gallery of bridges and pavilions, framed by vibrant autumn trees. As evening falls, drift to Sun and Moon Pagodas for beautiful close-ups—nighttime lighting transforms these towers into Insta-worthy cultural gems! Must-do Activities: Hop on a bamboo raft down the Li River for a gentle, soul-refreshing ride. Wandering downtown, you’ll spot modern architectural wonders near Guilin’s main squares—pause for close-ups, especially as building lights reflect off the rain-slick streets. Top Photo Spots: Elephant Trunk Hill (from the riverside) Sun and Moon Pagodas at dusk/night Fall-colored trees by the lakes (cloudy weather softens the colors!) Unique façade details on modern buildings after sunset Practical Visiting Tips: Bring a light rain jacket or umbrella—Guilin’s fall weather can be unexpectedly wet, adding atmospheric charm but means slippery walkways. Early outings are best for crowd-free chill moments. Most scenic spots stay open until at least 6 PM—plan your pagoda visit just before sunset. Key Precautions: Watch out for slick pathways by the water during rainy weather. Some attractions may close early in heavy rain. #Guilin #NatureChill #ChineseArchitecture #ModernMeetsClassic #TravelVibes
