Elephant trunk hill 1
Introduction of scenic spots
Elephant Trunk Mountain, formerly known as Lishan Mountain, is located at the intersection of taohuajiang and Lijiang River in Guilin. Named after a giant elephant standing by the river drinking Lijiang River, it is called the symbol of Guilin's landscape.
It is located at the intersection of Lijiang River and taohuajiang in the center of Guilin. It looks like a giant elephant. There is a round hole with an area of about 150 square meters between its trunk and legs. The river flows through the hole like a bright moon floating. Xiangshan Shuiyue, located on the west bank, is opposite to the moon-piercing rock on the east bank of Lijiang River. One hangs in the sky and the other floats in the water, forming a strange landscape of "two moons on the Lijiang River". Elephant trunk mountain is famous for its magic. Its magic lies in the similarity of form and spirit, and the creation of a bright moon near the water between the nose and legs, which constitutes the wonder of "Xiangshan Shuiyue".

When he was about to return, the elephant was fascinated by the beautiful scenery of Guilin and was very reluctant to go back to heaven, so he drank water in Lijiang River.
