We had a wonderful time in Tibet. We have learned a lot about this unique destination because of the wonderful guide Degyi who is so knowledge and always available towards our tours. We stayed at the Shangri-La Hotel Lhasa, and we would never imagine a Tibet travel could be so nice and amazing without the help of Degyi.

Also, thanks a lot to our Tibetan driver Mr.Wongdun for his safe driving and a good sense of service along the way.

We shall return Tibet in the near future!

Elephant Trunk Hill

Elephant Trunk Hill is located at the western bank of the Li River, Guilin city. The hill, standing majestically looks like a huge elephant dipping its trunk into the water to quench its thirst, hence got the name "Elephant Trunk". Regarded as the symbol of Guilin city, the site is the most famous karstic hill formation out of the many rising straight out of the ground throughout the city

The most impressive feature of Elephant Trunk Hill is said to be the reflection of a round, moon like cave. The cave between the elephant's "trunk" and the "body" is known as Shuiyue Cave (Moon over the Water Cave). On a moonlit night, the cave's reflection looks like a full moon floating on the surface of the water. At that time, visitors can enjoy the moon in the sky, the moon in the hill and the moon on the water. It is an amazing site.

Elephant Trunk Hill,GuilinElephant Eye Cave
Climbing the snaking stone path up the hill, visitors will see another cave going through the hill: Elephant Eye Cave. With a height of around two meters, the cave is five to 10 meters in width and about 52 meters in length. It's so called as the cave is located right where the eye of the elephant-shaped hill should be. Standing at the cave affords a good view of the surroundings.

Puxian Pagoda
On top of the hill stands Puxian Pagoda. Built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the cylinder-shaped pagoda looks like the handle of a sword.
