Elephant Trunk Hill in Guilin during a rainstorm, Two Rivers and Four Lakes

The beauty of Elephant Trunk Hill lies not only in its unique elephant-trunk-like shape, but also in its hazy beauty when shrouded in mist and rain. Bordering the Lijiang River, half resting on land and half submerged in the river, the mountain and water complement each other, forming the essence of Guilin's scenery. Between the "trunk" and "legs" of the elephant lies the Water Moon Cave, resembling a bright moon floating on the water, creating the famous "Elephant Trunk Hill Water Moon" scene. This view combines clear mountains, beautiful waters, wondrous caves, unique rocks, and stunning reflections.

Two Rivers and Four Lakes is one of Guilin's scenic highlights, comparable to the beauty of "Little Venice." To witness the cityscape of "thousands of mountains encircling the wilderness, a single river embracing the city," a visit to Two Rivers and Four Lakes is a must when in Guilin.

Two Rivers refers to the Lijiang River and Peach Blossom River.
Four Lakes refers to Shan Lake, Rong Lake, Gui Lake, and Mulong Lake.🍃
