Elephant Trunk Hill, also known as Xiangbishan, is a remarkable natural landmark in Guilin, Guangxi, China. This hill is renowned for its unique shape that resembles an elephant dipping its trunk into the Li River, creating a picturesque scene that has inspired artists and poets for centuries. It's not just a visual marvel; the hill is also rich in history and culture, with various inscriptions dating back to the Song Dynasty found within the Water Moon Cave located between the 'elephant's' legs and trunk.
