Many scenic spots in Guilin are dominated by mountains and rivers. Being in Guilin is like being in a picture.
You must see the Lijiang River when you go to Guilin. It is a pearl of the beautiful rivers and mountains in China and the essence of Guilin scenery. It has long been famous far and wide, and it is famous all over the world. Lijiang River is located in the east of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in South China and belongs to the Pearl River system. Lijiang River originates from Maoershan, Yuechengling, the first peak in South China, which is a place with beautiful forests, fresh air and excellent ecological environment. Lijiang River flows through Guilin City, Yangshuo County and other places, and joins Xijiang River in Wuzhou City, with a total length of 426 kilometers. The 83-kilometer waterway from Guilin to Yangshuo is the most beautiful section of the Lijiang River. The so-called Lijiang Scenic Area refers to this section of the river, and it is called "Baili Lijiang River and Baili Gallery".
the clear river meanders around the lush mountains, just like a green ribbon, winding among thousands of strange bees. The scenery along the river is beautiful, the clear water lingers, and the reflection of strange peaks, deep pools, fountains and waterfalls are staggered, forming a colorful picture. Visitors can swim across the Lijiang River by boat and enjoy the strange mountains on both sides. The peaks are tall and straight, with thousands of shapes. On the banks of the river, the green bamboos are swaying in the wind all the year round. The beautiful mountain peaks are reflected in the lake, somewhat hazy and somewhat clear. What time does the canoe on the river flow from the reflection of the mountain peak, which really has the artistic conception of "clearly seeing the top of the castle peak and the boat going up on the top of the castle peak" Every scene of the Lijiang River is a typical China ink painting.
the Lijiang river flows through the vicinity of Guilin city, and the valley is wide and gentle. Fubo Mountain, Diecai Mountain, Xiangshan Mountain, Chuanshan Mountain and Tashan Mountain are all pulled up on the ground, and the walls are cut, and the strange peaks are listed, which is full of momentum. In the karst valley plain, Xiushan and Lishui are in harmony, and the scenery is quiet. Between Guilin and Yangshuo, there are karst peaks and forests, and rivers turn around the mountains to form canyons. The scenery is also the most charming, especially lawn, Di Yang and Xingping, with waves and rocks, nine horses painting mountains, yellow cloth reflections, half crossing and other beautiful scenery. Reflection is a wonder of Lijiang River. River water endows dignified mountains with dynamics, spirituality and life, and at the same time brings people into the mythical world. Lijiang River has four unique features of "green mountains, beautiful waters, strange caves and beautiful rocks", and it also has the victory of "green continents, dangerous beaches, deep pools and waterfalls". There are many continents in the middle of the river, many beaches on the shore, rocks to stop the flow, waves echoing, lush trees encircling each other, and bamboo competing and showing. The landscape of Lijiang River changes with time, place (angle) and climate. Sunny weather, up and down the sky, a blue sky, thousands of cockroaches, all eyes. On a misty and rainy day, haze and fog are lingering, looming, and if it is intermittent, it will be empty. On the bright moon night, the peaks are like washing, the river waves are like practicing, and if you are in the ethereal realm, Qingyuan is infinite. The magnificent and magnificent long scroll of the Hundred Miles River Day makes people pleasing to the eye, curses the feelings of pottery, purifies the soul, and abandons customs and dust. It can be said: "There is no such thing as a beautiful Lijiang River".
the Lijiang river has different charm in different seasons. On the Lijiang River on a sunny day, the reflection of Qingfeng is particularly charming; The misty and rainy Lijiang River, however, gives people another kind of beautiful enjoyment: drizzle is like gauze, mist is lingering, and it is like dreaming. Han Yu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, once praised this picturesque Lijiang River with the poem "The river is green and the mountains are like jade hairpin".

After visiting the Lijiang River, you should see the Elephant Trunk Mountain, which is located at the confluence of the Lijiang River and taohuajiang. It is composed of pure limestone deposited on the seabed 36 million years ago, and the mountain covers an area of 13, square meters. Because the mountain shape resembles a giant elephant stretching its nose to suck the Lijiang River, it is named as a symbol of Guilin.
from Shanxi to the top, you can reach the elephant back. There is an elephant eye rock on the mountain, and a pair of eyes resembling elephants are worn on the left and right sides, from the bottom of the right eye to the Antarctic cave, and the wall of the cave is engraved with the words "Antarctic cave". Go up a few more steps to Shuiyue Cave, which is 1 meter high and 2 meters deep. It looks like a half moon. The cave reflects into the water, just like a full moon. At night, the moon rises, and the scenery is beautiful.
In the Song Dynasty, a tourist named Jibei Chu Shi wrote such a quatrain on the theme of Shui Yue: "There is a bright moon under the water, but it floats on the water. The water will not go away in the month, and the water will still flow when the month goes away. " There are more than 5 stone carvings in Xiangbi Mountain, many of which are carved on the cliffs inside and outside Shuiyue Cave. Among them, Zhang Xiaoxiang's Chaoyang Pavilion in the Southern Song Dynasty, Fan Chengda's Fu Shui Yue Cave Inscription and Lu You's Poetry Ceremony are famous. Climb the rock steps and go straight to the top of the mountain, that is, see an ancient brick tower standing on the top of the mountain. From a distance, it looks like a hilt inserted on the elephant's back, and it looks like an elegant Aquarius, so it is called "hilt tower" and "Aquarius tower". This tower was built in the Ming Dynasty, with a height of 13 meters. Sumeru is a double octagon with a statue of Samantabhadra, hence the name "Pu Xian Tower".
Then, Maoershan Maoershan is located in the north of Guilin, in the northwest of xing an, 81km away from downtown Guilin, spanning Xing 'an, Ziyuan and Longsheng counties, in the center of Guilin's "Golden Triangle" (a resource of Xing 'an-Longsheng) tourist area, echoing the three major tourist attractions in the county (Guilin Lemandi Leisure World, Gulingqu and the Red Army's Long March breakthrough in Xiangjiang Martyrs Monument Garden), and becoming a tourist circle in Guilin. The main peak is as high as 2141.5 meters above sea level, which is the first peak in South China. Because there are huge stones on the top of the mountain that look like crouching cats, it is named Maoershan. Maoershan is the birthplace of Lijiang River, Zijiang River and Xunjiang River, connecting the Yangtze River and Pearl River. The main peak is 2141.5 meters above sea level, which is known as "the top of the five mountains and the top of South China".

The nature reserve is a natural kingdom of animals and plants, with 311 species of wild animals. 212 species of vascular plants. It is a veritable natural green reservoir and species gene bank.
The peak of Maoer Mountain is towering, covered by clouds all the year round, and its foggy sea of clouds is wonderful. In addition, the ancient trees on the mountain are shaded, and the azaleas and flowers are like a brocade, which combines "the glory of Mount Tai, the danger of Mount Huashan, the seclusion of Mount Lushan and the beauty of Emei", making people feel carefree and fascinated. Ascending to the distance, the vast virgin forest is "trimmed" by the ingenuity of nature, like blue waves rolling over the vast ocean. The southern hemlock group, which stands proudly in the boundless blue waves, looks like a mountain powerhouse and becomes the "treasure of the town" of Maoershan. Clouds of clouds often appear on the top of the mountain, which makes people feel like floating in the valley. And the Buddha's halo cover at four o'clock is a must in Maoershan, which allows you to better appreciate the magic of Lei's nature.
