Elephant Trunk Hill: as the symbol of Guiling, the Elephant Trunk Hill looks like an elephant drinking from the Li River. The mountaintop is level ground covered with lush greenery. A three-story brick pagoda stands on the top. The "eyes" of the "elephant" are a karstic cave piercing the hill. At the foot of the hill is the Cave of the Moon Reflected in Water, which lies between the trunk and the body. The cave is spacious enough to accommodate a pleasure boat.
Fubo Hill: you can see lots of rock stone carvings and Buddha statues since Tang Dynasty.
Reed Flute Cave: The Reed Flute Crag was discovered in 1959 and subsequently opened to the public in 1962. It takes its name from a kind of reed flourishing here that can be used to make flutes. In fact, the word "discovery" is not really correct because when the cave was opened in 1959, archaeologists found dozens of inscriptions on the cliffs written over 1,000 years ago. Apparently, it was a scenic spot at that time. We still don't know why the cave was suddenly closed.
