Xiangbi Mountain (Elephant Trunk Hill), the city emblem of Guilin, gets its name from its resemblance to an elephant drinking water, integrating natural wonders and cultural heritage. Its unique features lie in: the mountain forms the "Elephant Trunk and Moon over the Water" spectacle with the Li River, where Shuiyue Cave preserves over 30 cliff inscriptions dating back to the Song Dynasty; climbing to the summit offers a 360-degree overlook of Guilin’s cityscape and the confluence of two rivers; at night, a light show outlines the elephant’s silhouette, with Shuiyue Cave transforming into a natural screen for projections.
