The Elephant Trunk Hill (象鼻山) is the most famous landmark of Guilin (桂林市). It lies at the confluence of the Li Jiang and the Yang Jiang. The Elephant Trunk Hill (象鼻山) is the most famous landmark of Guilin (桂林市). It lies at the confluence of the Li Jiang and the Yang Jiang. The prefecture level city of Guilin is located in the autonomous province Guangxi of the Zhuang people and is, among many other attractions, famous for its karst mountains
On the way to Xiangbishan how the Elephant Trunk Hill is called by the locals, we saw many people who took their morning dip despite a water temperature of 8 ° C in the river. Elephant Trunk Hill is a clear example that even a city like Guilin must struggle with the forces of water during times of flooding.
Besieged by tourists the pretty members of minority peoples like to be photographed with the visitors.
According to legend an elephant helped the Emperor of Heaven with the conquest of the earth. The elephant got from the hard work sick and the Emperor left him back alone. The farmers nursed he elephant back to health. In gratitude, the elephant remained on earth and helped the farmers working in the fields. This made the emperor so furious that he threw a sword in the back of the elephant when drinking at the riverbank and the elephant turned into stone. The sword was transformed into the two-story Puxian pagoda. The hole between the trunk and the foot is called Water Moon Cave (Shui Yue Cave), because at clear full-moon it is illuminated by the moon. This has already inspired Lu You, one of the four great poets of the Song Dynasty, as well as the poet Fan Dacheng and Zhang Xiaoxiang.
At a favourable water-level, visitors can make a tour with a bamboo raft through the hole.
On the southwestern foot of the mountain lies the Yunfeng Temple. Originally built in the Tang Dynasty, he was one of the four most famous temples in the city of Guilin. In 1897 he was re-built during the reign of Emperor Guangxu and renamed to Fuyin Temple. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (1850-1864) and the Revolution led by Dr. Sun Yat-Sen (1911), he served as a gathering place for the comrades.

Der Elefantenrüsselberg (象鼻山) ist das bekannteste Wahrzeichen von Guilin (桂林市). Er liegt am Zusammenfluss des Yangjiang mit dem Li Jiang. Die bezirksfreie Stadt Guilin liegt in der autonomen Provinz Guangxi des Zhuang-Volkes und ist, neben vielen anderen Sehenswürdigkeiten, für seine Karstberge bekannt.
Auf dem Weg zum Xiangbishan, wie der Elefantenrüsselberg von den Einheimischen genannt wird, sahen wir viele Menschen , die trotz einer Wassertemperatur von 8 °C ihr morgendliches Bad im Fluss nahmen. Der Elefantenrüsselberg ist ein anschauliches Beispiel dafür, dass auch Guilin den zerstörerischen Kräften des Hochwassers ausgeliefert ist.
Umlagert von Touristen, lassen sich die hübschen Angehörigen von Minderheitenvölkern gerne mit den Besuchern fotografieren.
Der Sage nach half ein Elefant dem Kaiser des Himmels bei der Eroberung der Erde. Die harte Arbeit machten den Elefanten krank und der Kaiser ließ ihn zurück. Bauern fanden ihn und pflegten in gesund. Aus Dankbarkeit blieb der Elefant auf der Erde und half den Bauern bei der Feldarbeit. Das machte den Kaiser so zornig, dass er dem Elefanten beim Trinken am Flussufer ein Schwert in den Rücken stieß, woraufhin der Elefant zu Stein wurde. Das Schwert verwandelte sich in die zweistöckige Puxian Pagode. Der Bogen zwischen Rüssel und Fuß wird das Wasser-Mond-Loch genannt, denn bei klaren Vollmondnächten wird er vom Mond ausgeleuchtet. Dies hat bereits Lu You, einen der vier großen Dichter der Song-Dynastie, sowie die Dichter Fan Dacheng und Zhang Xiaoxiang inspiriert.
Bei günstigem Wasserstand lassen sich die Besucher sich mit Bambusflössen durch den Bogen fahren.
Am südwestlichen Fuß des Berges liegt der Yunfeng Tempel. Ursprünglich in der Tang-Dynastie erbaut, zählte er zu den vier berühmtesten Tempeln der Stadt Guilin. Im Jahre 1897 wurde er während der Herrschaft von Kaiser Guangxu wiederaufgebaut und erhielt den Namen Fuyin-Tempel. Während der Zeit des Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (1850-1864) und der Revolution angeführt von Dr. Sun Yat-Sen (1911) diente er als Versammlungsort für die Kameraden.

CHINA 2017 - Guilin (Part 2 of 6)
August 26, 2017
This was our first day of the official tour that started in Guilin. We were running on very little sleep in the morning as we had a very late flight the night before from Shanghai. However, that did not mess up our plans and we still got to see and do everything on our itinerary. We spent most of the day along the Li River on a boat and enjoyed the nice scenery around the river. Our tour guide Peter was very helpful and very knowledgable. At the end of the day, we planned to go to a local restaurant but we were too exhausted and went to bed as we had a flight to Chengdu the next morning.
Here's a list of places that we visited:
1:00 Li River Cruise
6:08 9 Horses on the Hill
6:34 20 Yuan Bank Note Spot
11:58 Cormorant Fishermen
13:33 Yangshuo
14:43 Reed Flute Cave
16:06 Elephant Trunk Hill
