Sightseeing in Guilin

Panorama of Guilin from Solitary Hill
Today was spent sight seeing in the city of Guilin. We visited "Elephant Trunk Hill" and "Solitary Hill" which is in the old campus of Guangxi University.


Elephant Trunk Hill and Water Moon Cave
The cave through the foot of the mountain forms the trunk and front legs of the elephant drinking from the water.

Tour Raft Depot
Half way down from the summit is a cave that pierces the mountain and forms the eyes of the elephant. In the cave casual sopranos were singing at the top of their voices making use of the amplifying acoustics. (It is common to find groups of musicians, singers, dancers, and others enthusiastically performing their skills in any convenient public place, without any shyness or concern about gawkers.)
