Elephant Trunk Hill - Guilin, Guangxi, China - Natural Arches on Waymarking.com

The Elephant Trunk Hill is a landmark and tourist attraction in Guilin. It got its name because it looks like an elephant drinking water from the river with its trunk.

The round opening that would be under the elephant’s trunk is known as Water-Moon Cave because at night the reflection of the moon can be seen through the arch and it looks like it is under the water and floating on the surface of the water at the same time. Elephant Trunk Hill and Water-Moon Cave are located at the confluence of the Taohua River and the Li (Lijiang) River.

Guilin is regarded as the most picturesque city in China. Two crystal-clear rivers meander through the city, which are encircled by hills with unusual and bizarre rock formations. The Li River cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo is the centerpiece of any trip to northeastern Guangxi Province.
