Introduction
Elephant Trunk Hill (Xiangshan), in Guilin, Guangxi, China, is the emblem of Guilin's landscape — named for its shape like a giant elephant drinking at the river. Standing where the Li and Taohua rivers meet, the 'Water-Moon Cave' between trunk and leg lets the river flow through, the classic 'Elephant Hill and Moon' vista since antiquity. Atop sit the Puxian Pagoda and Yunfeng Temple amid many cliff inscriptions, long celebrated in poetry and painting. Climb for the confluence and city view; night lights make it ethereal. It distills Guilin's 'green hills, clear waters, fantastic caves, pretty rocks' — the first landmark to visit.
