Diecai Mountain, formerly known as Guishan, is located in the northeast of Guilin City, facing the Li River. Diecai Mountain stands on equal footing with Duxiu Peak in the city and Fubo Mountain on the bank of the Li River, and is also a tourist attraction in the city. Diecai Mountain covers an area of about 2 square kilometers, consisting of Mingyue Peak, Xianhe Peak, Siwang Mountain and Yuyue Mountain. It stretches across the city, with beautiful scenery and easy climbing, making it a hot spot in Guilin's mountain scenery. There are many beautiful scenery in the mountain, including Diecai Pavilion, Yuyue Pavilion, Qu Zhang Ergong Martyrdom Monument, Yangzhi Hall, Wind Cave, Diecai Tower, Wangjiang Pavilion and Nayun Pavilion.

By Xiaoping |

Like Elephant Trunk Hill, children are half price, and seniors over 65 are free. However, the tickets are also very cheap. I forgot how cheap it was, but it was about 20 yuan. The stream in the park was cool and comfortable. We climbed to the highest peak in Guilin, Mingyue Peak. Looking from a high place, the water of the Li River meanders between the city. The mountain, the water, and the city are perfectly integrated. You can go down the mountain directly to the foot of the mountain through the Good Luck Slide. 20 yuan per person, you can bargain. We bargained to 40 yuan for three people.

By whyl007 |

The highlight is to climb up the Mingyue Peak to overlook the city of Guilin and the Li River. To the west are mountains and hills, the Li River flows quietly, to the south is the main city of Guilin, and to the north is the Mulong Lake Scenic Area. Climb up the Mingyue Peak at sunset, and the whole city of Guilin is shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, looking ancient and tranquil. The sunset at Diecai Mountain is very beautiful. It is recommended to go to Diecai Mountain later, two hours earlier than the sunset time, and go down the mountain after watching the sunset.

By Walk and see |

Diecai Mountain is a 5A scenic spot with rocks that look like colorful silk.

It is composed of four peaks and mountains, with charming natural scenery.

There are many cliff carvings and stone statues in wind caves are lined up.

The Guilin Viewpoint at the top of Mingyue Peak is a poetic and picturesque city of mountains and rivers.

By Path |

The MVP view of this trip, unexpectedly found that I could enjoy the beautiful sunset! Highly recommended!

By Du |

It’s a great place to look at Guilin from a high place, and you can take some great photos.

By Rest, little thief |

I went there 15 years ago and took film photos at that time. This mountain has the best view of the peaks on both sides of the Li River.

By Zhang Chao |

From Diecai Mountain, you can see the entire northern part of Guilin, which is worth climbing up to see the distant view. Two rivers and four lakes, the Li River is at the foot of the mountain.

By fincen |

The hill beside the Li River overlooks the city of Guilin, which is very beautiful.

By Lujiang Zhou Gongjin |

Diecai Mountain is composed of four peaks, with a strong cultural atmosphere. Climbing up Mingyue Peak, you can have a panoramic view of Guilin city.

By Gu Dongdong |

Diecai Mountain is much larger than Fubo Mountain. It has two peaks, Xianhe Peak and Mingyue Peak, of which Mingyue Peak is the main peak. From Mingyue Peak, you can see Mulong Lake and Lijiang River. When I visited the two rivers and four lakes at night, I found that the most beautiful scenery was near the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas and Mulong Lake. From Mingyue Peak, you can clearly see the Mulong Pagoda.

By Tara |

I have always wanted to find a place to climb and see Guilin. Diecai Mountain Mingyue Peak is very good.

By Young Heart Journey |

Both offer a 360-degree panoramic view of Guilin's city. Duxiu Peak offers a view of the city and the surrounding mountains, while Caidie Mountain has an additional view of the Li River.

Passing through the cave, the stone statues in the cave caught my eye. It turned out that it was not just a mountain. There must be many unknown stories behind the mountain.

The mountain is not high, and it takes about 20 minutes to reach the top. As you climb the stairs, your vision changes, and a 3D version of Guilin begins to appear before your eyes. There are different views at each height, and different surprises at each view. It turns out that the city and nature can be integrated so perfectly.

Highlights: The highest peak in Guilin, the scenery of the Li River, the best spot to take photos of the sunrise in downtown Guilin

Note:

1. The mountain is not high or steep, and you can reach the top in half an hour.

2. Climb Mingyue Peak to see a 360-degree panoramic view of Guilin

3. The top of Xianhe Cave is the best spot to photograph the sunrise in Guilin

By Ying Xuan |

The ticket is not expensive and the climb is not difficult. After walking for a while, you can take in the scenery of Guilin city.

By Yang Liulang |

There are many stone carvings in the cave below the three characters of Diecai Mountain, most of which are Buddha statues. Some are original and some are restored, which are worth seeing. There is a wind cave on the hillside of Mingyue Peak. The scenery of Diecai Mountain is basically concentrated under the entrance of the wind cave halfway up the mountain. Many people get tired and return to the entrance of the wind cave. Looking down at Mulong Lake and the whole city of Guilin from the top of the mountain is really like an aerial photo.

By I am not Africa |

Diecai Mountain, I saw the sunset in other people’s travel notes and it was very beautiful. Of course, as a photography enthusiast, I definitely can’t miss it. The tickets are even more cost-effective, a double ticket is only 50 yuan, which is super cost-effective compared to other scenic spots.

By Cycling in the rain |

It’s been a long time, I can only say that I’ve been there by seeing the pictures.

By swenty |

Diecai Mountain is named after the fact that the rocks on the mountain are stacked like satin and brocade. It is located on the bank of Li River and consists of Mingyue Peak, Xianhe Peak, Siwang Mountain and Yuyue Mountain. It has a clear wind on one side and mountains on the other. It looks like a fairyland on earth.

This leisure park in the urban area of Guilin may seem like an ordinary park at first glance, but it is actually a longevity mountain that has long been popular among the people. There is an old saying that "climb Diecai Mountain and live to be over 130 years old".

Overlooking Mulong Lake from Diecai Mountain, the mountains and waters echo each other, the mountains and waters are interdependent, the city is like in a painting, and it has the charm of ink-and-wash landscape; this is also due to an iron rule of Guilin's municipal construction: the height of any building shall not be higher than the 66-meter Duxiu Peak.

【Tips for Diecai Mountain】

1. Transportation: Take bus No. 1 and get off at "Fengbei Road Intersection", walk 400 meters to the east gate of the scenic area to pick up the ticket, the east gate is on Longzhu Road

2. Ticket price: 35 yuan per person

3. Opening hours: Peak season (April to November): 06:00-18:30

Off-season (December to March): 07:00-18:00

4. Location: No. 2, Longzhu Road, Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region

My travel notes on Guilin/Yangshuo/Longji Terraces: http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/10065982.html

Diecai Mountain is higher than Xiangshan Mountain, but its steps are not as steep as those of Xiangshan Mountain, so it is not very difficult to climb. My parents and I walked and took pictures and reached the top in about 25 minutes.

The scenery near Diecai Mountain is much better than the scenery overlooking the surroundings from Xiangshan Mountain. There are mostly residential buildings near Xiangshan Mountain, but there are some mountains, towers, and rivers near Diecai Mountain, and the natural scenery is better.

By lzc see the world |

The whole city is in sight, with clear skies and mountains on all sides, it seems like a fairyland on earth.



It was almost 8 o'clock when we finished taking photos. It was too cold, so we started to go down the mountain. We were the only two people left on the mountain. My wife started to worry whether the park gate would be closed. I comforted her and said it was okay and I would call the police if it was closed. When we got down to the bottom of the mountain, we saw that the gate was not closed, but no one was guarding it.

By Neptune |

I went there just because it was close to the hotel. The ticket price was 32 yuan, and 24 yuan online. I recommend going to Mingyue Peak to have a 360-degree bird's eye view of Guilin city.

By Yinglei |

You can see the panoramic view of Guilin from the top of the mountain. The mountains and rivers have long been surrounded by the city, and the scenic area has a strong commercial atmosphere.

By Late Evening |

We had decided not to climb mountains, but once we entered Diecai Mountain Park, we found that we had to climb mountains, otherwise there would be nothing to see or play. So we decided to climb a small peak and then go down. After climbing for a while, we saw the top of the mountain in sight, which gave us more courage. So, one of us held the child, one carried the stroller, and one carried two bags. We climbed up to Mingyue Peak and overlooked Guilin.

The air quality is very good and the visibility is very high. The distant mountains and nearby water are clearly visible, and the uneven buildings are clearly distinguishable.

By Diaspora |

A scenic spot in the Two Rivers and Four Lakes Scenic Area. The main peak is relatively high and you can overlook the panoramic view of Guilin. There is Mulong Lake next to it, but it seems to be separated.

By Bara |

Tickets booked online cost 20 yuan per person. It should be noted that the online ticket exchange is at the East Gate of Diecai Mountain. Diecai Mountain has always been known as the Longevity Mountain among the people. The proverb is "Climb Diecai Mountain and live more than 130 years." For this reason, I specially brought my parents to climb Diecai Mountain. The mountain road is still easy to climb. My mother can climb up even if she is not physically strong. We walked and stopped along the way. The scenery along the way is beautiful. There are scenic spots everywhere. It took us about an hour and a half to walk and stop on Diecai Mountain. There is a bus stop across the road from the South Gate of Diecai Mountain.

Diecai Mountain 15 One person

It's just an ordinary municipal park.

However, you can overlook the city of Guilin from the top of the mountain.

Mountain scenery in the city

It's a different flavor

Such an interesting combination

Maybe it is only available in Guilin.

By Wandering Brother |

It's a deceptive scenic spot. It turns out that Mulong Lake and Diecai Mountain belong to the same scenic spot. Since Diecai Mountain is at a higher altitude, you can see all the scenic spots of Mulong Lake clearly, especially for those who like to take pictures. If you buy a ticket from Mulong Lake first, you can't take any pictures at all. You can only buy a ticket from Diecai Mountain and climb the mountain to take pictures of Mulong Lake. So friends who want to take pictures can buy tickets from the east gate of Diecai Mountain to enter the mountain.

By Ancient city Shenzhen and Hong Kong waiting for the beauty 🌾 |

It's really average, and it's separated from Mulong Lake. You can enter from Mulong Lake Park by stone stairs, but you have to go around and spend 32 to climb the mountain. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can only look down at the distance! That's it! ! If you like climbing, then I recommend it. If you don't like it, there's really no need to go. I had a disagreement with my friend because of this.

By Watching the clouds roll in and out |

After visiting the palace, I bought tickets for Diecai Mountain Scenic Area online. I got a buy one get one free ticket for Fubo Mountain. That means I can visit all three of Guilin's exquisite mountains! I'm determined! Diecai Mountain is located in the northeast of Guilin City, along the Li River. It is named for its unique landform, hard rocks, and stacked rock layers, which look like stacked satin and brocade. The scenic area consists of Mingyue Peak, Xianhe Peak, Siwang Mountain, and Yuyue Mountain. The scenic spots in the mountain include Diecai Pavilion, Yuyue Mountain, the Monument of the Two Lords Qu and Zhang, Yangzhi Hall, Xianhe Cave, Wind Cave, Wangjiang Pavilion, and Nayun Pavilion.

By w_x_9887 |

Diecai Mountain is located in the downtown area of Guilin. It is very convenient for public transportation. It belongs to the Two Rivers and Four Lakes Scenic Area, and Mulong Lake is behind it. The mountain is not high, and there are two peaks. One peak has a good view, but you need to walk down the mountain, and the other peak can take a cable car down the mountain. The view from the top of the mountain is very good and open. You can see the Li River, which is very beautiful! The ticket is not expensive, it is a place worth visiting.

By Random Travels |

The view from Mingyue Peak is very broad! ! "Live to 130"

By Bao Gaishi |

Diecai Mountain, formerly known as Guishan, is located in the northeast of Guilin City, facing the Li River. Diecai Mountain stands on equal footing with Duxiu Peak in the city and Fubo Mountain on the bank of the Li River, and is also a tourist attraction in the city.

By DavSun |

Diecai Mountain overlooks the downtown area of Guilin and the Li River. However, because it is in the downtown area, the scenery is mixed with many modern products and is not very harmonious. You can take a walk there when you have nothing to do. If you are on a tight schedule, it is recommended to skip it and visit Yangshuo directly.

By Sunshine after rain |

The park is shaded by green trees and has four mountains, namely Yuyue Mountain, Mingyue Peak, Siwang Mountain and Xianhe Peak. It is recommended to climb only two peaks.

By Seven |

I bought an electronic ticket on China-TravelNote for 14 yuan, which is equivalent to 40% off, which is very cost-effective. I exchanged it directly at the door. There are several peaks on the mountain, overlooking Guilin, Fubo Mountain and Elephant Trunk Hill in the distance.

By Jessy |

Diecai Mountain Park is located in the north of Guilin and on the west bank of the Li River. It is one of the main scenic spots in the city. Diecai Mountain has a unique landform, consisting of sedimentary limestone and dolomite limestone. The stone is hard, and the rock layers are thin, medium and thick, stacked up layer by layer, like piled satin and brocade.

By 🦁Gray's walking map |

I went there by myself after the travel agency’s unified event ended.

There weren't many people there, and when I went up the mountain by myself, I often couldn't see anyone in front or behind me, which was a little scary.

Another familiar sight. Maybe I've been to that cave in my dreams.

You can see the scenery of the Li River while climbing the mountain. The viewing effect is quite good.

By Cheng Momo |

The sunset at Diecai Mountain is particularly beautiful. It is quiet and few people there, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery all to yourself.

By 19 degrees |

The scenery is great, and you can see the entire Guilin landscape.

By Bubbles |

At night, the best looking big rock!!! Due to time constraints, I didn't enter the garden, which is a little regretful

By Katy |

In July 2012, I took my family to visit Guilin. My 84-year-old grandfather climbed all the way to the top of the mountain and took a photo with the big stone engraved with "Climb up Diecai Mountain and live to be 130 years old". From the top of the mountain, you can see the whole picture of Guilin, with the city greenery and the Lijiang River scenery blending together, and the scenery is very beautiful.

By Half a durian |

I got up early and followed the directions of Gaode Map to the South Gate. The South Gate was more like a place for locals, and tourists came from another gate. So I walked in alone... and didn't get a ticket...

There are many locals doing morning exercises in the park. When I was going up the mountain, I happened to meet a group of individual tourists and listened to the guide's explanation for free. Mingyue Peak is the main peak, and I only went to Mingyue Peak because of limited time. The mountain road is a bit shaky, and there are many signs to pay attention to falling rocks. The Good Luck Slide has been closed. At the starting point of the Good Luck Slide, the individual tourist group stopped here and stayed for only ten minutes. I continued to climb up, about twenty meters, and reached the top of the mountain. There is a stone that says "Climb Diecai Mountain and live to 130". There are not many people, and there is an old lady doing morning exercises. I saw the scenery of Guilin city, which should be better if it is a sunny day. There are not many people at the top of the mountain. I stayed for more than twenty minutes, and there were only about ten people. It was quite quiet. I can also see some construction sites and a mountain that I don’t know if it is Elephant Trunk Hill.

By Probably not fat. |

It was raining heavily, and I was the only one who climbed up... In fact, Guilin is made up of small hills of various shapes. Diecai Mountain is worth climbing. The top of the mountain is very open and the scenery is great. It's a pity that the rain is getting heavier. I took a few photos and my camera was all wet... The electronic ticket is more than ten yuan, come up and take a look!

By Happy Ranger |

Diecai Mountain Park is located in the north of Guilin and on the west bank of the Li River. It is one of the main scenic spots in the city. There are many beautiful scenery in the mountain, including Diecai Pavilion, Yuyue Pavilion, Monument of the Martyrs of Qu and Zhang, Yangzhi Hall, Wind Cave, Diecai Tower, Wangjiang Pavilion and Nayun Pavilion. There are many cliff carvings of celebrities from past dynasties on the mountain, which are the essence of cultural relics.

By oh_i |

The view is very beautiful. Overlooking the city.

By Candice |

There are very few people in the entire scenic area and the air is very good. It is indeed a big oxygen bar, and the air smells much more comfortable than in many places.

We climbed all the way up and reached the top in about half an hour. There was a big stone tablet with the words "Climb Diecai Mountain and live to be 130 years old".

Looking around from Nayun Pavilion on the top of the mountain, you can see the panoramic view of Guilin city, which is really beautiful.

By Awooo~~~ |

A tourist attraction located in Guilin City, the ticket price is 32 yuan, 25 yuan when booking with Ctrip, and 16 yuan for half-price tickets.



It takes about 20 minutes to climb the mountain. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the panoramic view of Guilin city and various large and small peaks.



The ticket price is quite worth it, and if the weather is good, you can also watch the sunset.

By Dalu World |

Diecai Mountain is located on the Li River and consists of Mingyue Peak, Xianhe Peak, Siwang Mountain and Yuyue Mountain (all of which must be climbed to the top). The main peak, Mingyue Peak, is the highest peak in the city. Standing at Nayun Pavilion, you can have a panoramic view of the entire city.

By kini |

The original ticket price is 35 yuan, and the group purchase is 19.5 yuan. After going down the mountain, I found that the ticket sellers and ticket inspectors at 6 o'clock had left, so you can enter and exit freely.



But after the trip, I think it is really cost-effective to come to Diecai Mountain



You can overlook half of Guilin, and you can also see the various mountains of Lao Ren Mountain.

By 『Arrogant』 Mr. Bin |

I went there early in the morning. I stayed at Wangcheng Youth Hostel. I took a motorbike to the nearby area and found it using the navigation system on my phone. I went there early, around 7am. I didn't get a ticket. The aunt at the door asked me where I was from. I said I was a local. Then she asked me where my ID card was. I said I didn't bring it. The aunt looked at me and waved me in. It wasn't very difficult to climb. The view at the top was nice, the weather was good, and it was nice to overlook Guilin.

By Tao Sixuan |

Diecai Mountain is not very famous among the scenic spots in Guilin. Perhaps it is overshadowed by other popular scenic spots. Thanks to the recommendation of local people, I feel that it is actually the most beautiful place in Guilin. There are only a few tourists in the scenic area. It is very quiet, with few people and not crowded at all.

By Island Hill No. 17 |

One of the ten famous mountains in Guilin, there is a Liu Sanjie singing stage on the mountain~

By pp |

There are many small hills. Although it is tiring to climb up, the feeling of standing at a high place is indeed different. You must go to the top of Diecai Mountain.

By Early morning |

It is said that you can see the whole view of Guilin from Diecai Mountain. The tour guide said it is the highest peak in Guilin. In fact, it is not tiring at all. Even mothers with bad knees can go up. There are steps down the mountain and a slide for 20 yuan per time. The top of the mountain feels good. You can see famous attractions such as Elephant Trunk Hill, there are stone tablets for taking photos, and you can also see the river. Diecai Mountain, Fubo Mountain and Xiangshan Mountain can be visited in one line, which is enough for most of the day.

By Moonlight |

The ticket for Diecai Mountain is 35 yuan, and the combined ticket with Fubo Mountain is 60 yuan, and the student card is half price. As the best place to enjoy the panoramic view of Guilin, it is worth a visit.

Because we planned to watch the sunset, we arrived at Diecai Mountain at around four o'clock, and happened to meet a group of local students. We saw them entering for free with their student ID cards (they must have bought a pass, as local students only needed to spend one dollar to enter an attraction, which was really enviable).

Diecai Mountain has a quiet environment. After passing through the mountain gate and climbing up slowly, you can still feel the heat in the winter when you feel the occasional wind blowing in the mountains. In fact, Diecai Mountain is not steep, and the climbing road is much flatter than Fubo Mountain. There are not many tourists on the road, but the sightseeing platform on the top of the mountain is much better than Fubo Mountain, with ancient trees and pavilions.

Diecai Mountain itself is not high, which seems to be the characteristic of Guilin's mountains. It is far different from the majestic Mount Tai and the steep Mount Hua. The mountains in Guilin rise from the ground one after another, are not connected, are small like small mounds, and are full of strange rocks, which seem to fall down if you are not careful. "Climb Diecai Mountain and live to be 130 years old." This famous saying is engraved on the stone tablet on the top of the mountain.

From the top of the mountain, you can overlook Guilin and the beautiful Li River. Even ordinary tourists who can't write poems will have the urge to shout to Guilin: Beautiful Guilin! It takes only half an hour to climb Diecai Mountain. We checked the sunset time in Guilin in advance, which is around 5:45. We waited slowly on the top of the mountain. The wind was not strong, but it was not too cold.

Watching the sunset slowly setting, we also set off on the road down the mountain. There are also many cultural landscapes at the foot of Diecai Mountain, with pavilions and terraces, all of which are exquisite. Interested friends can spend half a day to explore them carefully.

By Alone with the wind |

I still remember the Diecai Mountain accident in March 2015 when the news was broadcast: it seemed that a group of Taiwanese tourists had just got off the boat when a big rock fell from the sky. It was so sudden that there was no place to run. They deserved to be killed. No one would have been killed. I guess even Jackie Chan and Jet Li’s skills were not very good at that time. I said to my colleagues, Diecai Mountain, I have been there, but I forgot what it was like.

By tansyxixi |

The mountain is very low and easy to climb.. You can see the Li River and Mulong Lake~

By Fly |

The mountain is not high and is easy to climb. The main view is the panoramic view of Guilin from Mingyue Peak. It should be nice to take pictures of sunrise and sunset when the weather is good.

By Tom cat who loves Mickey Mouse |

When I went there, I encountered a tourist arguing with a staff member. The view on the top of the mountain is good. I personally like it. I went there at dusk. It was very impressive!

By Peace and the world |

Although Guilin has thousands of mountains and peaks, they are generally not high. The Mingyue Peak of Diecai Mountain is relatively high, but it is only 250 meters above sea level.

By Jasmine sycamore |

Diecai Mountain is located in the north of Guilin City. It consists of Siwang Mountain, Mingyue Peak, Yuyue Mountain and Xianhe Peak. It is picturesque and easy to climb. There are many scenic spots such as pavilions and towers in the mountain, including historical relics such as cliff carvings. Kang Youwei also gave lectures here, which shows that the historical heritage is quite rich. After entering the gate and passing the Jiangshan Huijing, there are two forks in the road, one leading to Mingyue Peak, the main peak of Diecai Mountain, and the other leading to Xianhe Peak. Of course, if you want to take pictures of Diecai Mountain, the top of Xianhe Peak is the best angle. If you want to take a panoramic view of Guilin, you still have to climb its main peak Mingyue Peak.

The mountains in Guilin are not as tall and straight as the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, but rather delicate and graceful. The altitude of Diecai Mountain is only 235 meters, so it took less than 20 minutes to climb to the top of Mingyue Peak of Diecai Mountain.

Diecai Mountain Park is really a small hill. The hill itself is very small. If you climb from the foot of the hill to the top without taking a break, it should take about ten minutes to reach the top. From the top of the hill, you can overlook the panoramic view of Guilin.

Many travel guides show that the panoramic views of Guilin taken by netizens on Diecai Mountain are very beautiful. It may be that we went there at the wrong time. We neither captured the sunset nor the slightly red sunrise in the hot afternoon. It was a pity.

It seemed that we were the only three tourists wandering around. The only people we met were local elderly people from Guilin who were exercising, climbing mountains or doing sports. But it was also good this way, very quiet, few people, and not crowded at all.

Climbing from the South Gate is the best route to visit Diecai Mountain

Not many people visited this attraction on that day. Is it because the shadow of the rockfall incident has not yet dissipated?

I looked back and saw a pavilion on the mountain above me, and then I realized that I had taken the wrong path. Oh my god, this is the most annoying thing. I climbed up the mountain panting only to find that I had taken the wrong path and had to climb another mountain. When I got to the intersection below, I realized that I had not seen the road sign and had gone in the wrong direction. It’s okay to be tired when climbing the mountain, but this section of the road was terrifying. Some statues, such as Buddha statues, don’t look like anything during the day.

From Xiangshan Park, take Binjiang Road to Zhengyang Pedestrian Street. After visiting Zhengyang Pedestrian Street, you can take a bus to Diecai Mountain near the Cross Street Square. You can go there directly. I don't remember the ticket price now, but I remember that you can use your student card for half price. The ticket price is very cheap, and it is still worth buying a ticket to come in and stroll around. Basically, it takes about half a day to stroll around casually. There is a bird forest inside, and you can hear all kinds of bird calls and sounds from nature. Before I came to Guilin, my impression of Guilin was that Guilin's landscape is the best in the world. After I came here, I learned that Guilin is a famous historical and cultural city in China, among which the cliff carvings and landscape poetry culture represented by the Guihai Stele Forest are one of the representatives. In addition to the beautiful scenery, Diecai Mountain is also famous for its stone carvings. The earliest one was in the fourth year of Huichang in the Tang Dynasty. More than 180 cliff inscriptions from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty are still preserved in Fengdong and Mulongdong, which have a history of thousands of years. Fortunately, I did some research on this in advance, so I didn't just see the green mountains, green waters, and birds when I went there. So friends who go to Diecai Mountain can pay attention to find the mark of this thousand-year history. P.S.: In order to write down the footprints, I did some research later. You can take bus 2/58 to Diecai Mountain Station. After leaving Diecai Mountain, we walked along Longzhu Road-Binjiang Road back to Zhengyang Pedestrian Street to find food. This plan is recommended for friends with better physical strength, because it is indeed a distance, and it takes about one or two hours to walk. We also visited Fubo Mountain on the way, and just strolled around Binjiang Road as a walk.

It is said that if you climb to the top of the mountain you can overlook the entire city of Guilin.

But I still climbed Diecai Mountain. The ticket was 30 yuan, and the student ID was 15 yuan. The scenery was pretty good, and you could see a part of the panoramic view of Guilin...

We set out to Diecai Mountain. I have been to Guilin three times before and have been to many scenic spots. The reason I went to Diecai Mountain again is that you can see the panoramic view of Guilin from Diecai Mountain and watch the sunset. The scenery is really good all the way up the mountain. In fact, the mountains in Guilin are relatively low. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the top. I waited for the sunset at the top of Diecai Mountain for more than an hour. The wind was not strong and it was very comfortable. I watched TV series on the tablet while waiting. Sometimes it is really enjoyable to let time pass quietly like this.

Diecai Mountain Park, climb up for more than ten minutes to reach the top of the mountain, which is the highest point in Guilin City. You can see all the scenic spots and mountains in the city and the surrounding areas. It is the best viewing point.

The most famous scenic spot in Diecai Mountain is also said to be the earliest source of the saying "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world". I don't know if it's true or not. But the stone tablet is indeed quite old.



Go up Diecai Mountain and pass through the wind cave, where there are also many stone carvings.

Diecai Mountain is located in the northern part of Guilin city center, close to the west bank of the Li River, and only a kilometer away from Fubo Mountain. Enter the gate of Diecai Park and you can climb the mountain. Diecai Mountain is named because of its layers of rocks, like overlapping colorful silk brocade. In ancient times, the mountain was called Guishan because there were many osmanthus trees. It is also called Fengdong Mountain because there is a cave in the mountain that blows wind all year round.

Climb up Mingyue Peak and stop at Nayun Pavilion, where you can see the scenery of the whole city. "One side is sunny and the other side is surrounded by mountains. It seems like a fairyland on earth."

From Nayun Pavilion, you can overlook the Li River winding southward; in the distance, you can see the beautiful and unique mountains; up close, you can see the whole city of Guilin.

The city of Guilin is in the water and the mountains are in the city, like a landscape painting, which is breathtakingly beautiful.
