The scenery of Guilin has been called the finest under heaven. Situated in the northeast of Guangzi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Guilin City is South China's shining pearl, with verdant mountains, elegant waters, and magnificent crags and fantastic caverns. Guilin was originally a vast expanse of sea until about one hundred and ninety million years ago, owing to the movement of the earth crust; the whole earth rose and became land. The Limestone, weathered and eroded by water, became today's fantastic stone forests, peaks, underground streams and caves, thus giving unique features to Guilin's scenery. The mountains in Guilin, rising abruptly from the ground, stand in various stately shapes. Moreover, they have in them a great number of colourful caves. These mountains with strangely shaped peaks and caves of unique formation, together with the crystal-clear rivers that surround the city, characterize Guilin's scenery and have brought it world fame.

Li River (a poetic and picturesque River) is the important component of Guilin scenery. It originates in Mountain Cat at the Xinan County in the northeast of Guilin. It winds and meanders its way for 170 kilometers, passing through Guilin, Yangshuo to the outlet of Gongchen River in Pingle County. Li River, between Guilin and Yangshou, traverses 84 kilometers like a jade ribbon winding among thousands of the hills. Along the river, the rolling peaks, steep cliffs, green hills and clear water constitute a fascinating hundred-mile picture gallery. Li River scenery is known to, all not only for its green hills, clear water, fantastic caves and spectacular rocks but also for its wonderful deep pools, springs and waterfalls. Moreover, people can enjoy the different beauties of Li River scenery at different seasons and weathers. In fine days, reflections of the hills in clear and greenish water are special pleasing to the eyes, but it is more enchanting under rainy and misty weather.

Elephant Trunk Hill can be found in the southern part of Guilin, on the western bank of the Lijiang River. Its shape is reminiscent of an elephant dipping its trunk in the river. Legend says that an elephant that belonged to the Emperor of Heaven came down to earth to help the people in their work. This angered the Emperor of Heaven, who stabbed the elephant as it was drinking at the river's edge and turned it to stone. The cave between the body and the trunk of this elephant figure is of a particularly interesting shape and has inspired poets and other writers, old and new, to engrave verses on its walls. The poems of Lo You, Fan Chengda, and other poets of the Southern Sung Dynasty (960-1279 AD) are of inestimable literary and archaeological value. On the top of the hill stands the Puxian Ta Pagoda, erected during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD) and shaped as the handle of the dagger with which the elephant was killed.

Reed Flute Cave is situated in a completely concealed spot on Guangming Hill, 3.2 miles northwest of the town; Reed Flute Cave is Guilin's largest and most impressive cave. Its name is explained by the fact that reeds for making flutes and pipes have been grown in this region since ancient times. This dripstone cave is 790 ft deep, and a visitor will walk for some 550 yards through a zigzagging sea of stalactites and stalagmites in dazzling colors. Although the cave is also known as a Palace of Natural Art, manmade strategies use artificial lighting to emphasize the coincidental similarity of the rock formations to birds, plants, and animals. One grotto is called 'The Crystal Palace of the Dragon King', an area that resembles a miniature Guilin. Over 70 wall inscriptions from the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) bear eloquent witness to the cave's long history.
