The Elephant Trunk Hill
Situated at the joint of Lijiang and Yangjiang Rivers, the
Elephant Trunk Hill, as its name suggests, looks like a giant
elephant drinking water with its trunk.Half way up the hill
there is a cave which goes through the hill and serves as
the eyes of the "elephant".
Between the trunk and the legs is a still bigger cave with
the shape of a bright moon hanging over the river,hence the
name "Moon-over-Water Cave".On the top of the hill
is a pagoda, named Puxian Pagoda,erected in the Ming Dynasty,which
resembles a sword hilt,or a magic vase.The Elephant Trunk
Hill is commonly regarded as the emblem of Guilin.

The Fubo Hill stands solitarily in the northeast of the city,with
half of it in the Li River.On the eastern side of the hill
are a winding corridor facing the river,a teahouse and a "Tingtao
(Listening to the Waves)Pavilion" built along the cliff
of the hill. On the west side,a flight of stone steps leads
to the Kuishui Pavilion which is half way up the hill,and
then to the top.At the foot of the hill are the "Pearl-returning
Cave"and "A Thousand Buddhas Cave".In the "Pearl-returning
Cave",there hangs from the ceiling a rock which nearly
touches the ground.
Legend has it that once a general name Fu Po tested his sword
by cutting what was originally a stone pillar and has left
a crevice at the bottom ever since then.In the "One Thousand
Buddhas Cave",there are in fact 200 Buddhas statues.Because
of the beautiful sight and its peculiar caves,the hill is
praised highly as "Fu Po Resort".
