Elephant Trunk Hill

One of Guilin’s most famous landmarks is Elephant Trunk Hill, which lies in the center of the city. As you can see below, there is a cave that gives the hill the look of an elephant with its trunk hanging down into the water.

During our day there we didn’t bother to cross the river to get a view of why it is actually called Elephant Trunk Hill. We thought that we could always get a picture from the street later after we left the park. When we came back to get a picture we found that a view of the hill is completely blocked from all angles unless you enter the park, which of course you have to pay for.

Like I said we weren’t actually able to get this picture ourselves, but we just got this picture off the internet.
