Seven-star Park

Located east of Guilin City and sits on the east bank of the Lijiang River. Seven-Star Park draws the greatest number of tourists in Guilin City. The park is endowed with elegant mountains, clear water, miraculous stone forest, deep and serene valleys, plentiful animals and plants and valued cultural relics. It has been popular since the Sui (581-618) and Tang (618-907) Dynasties.

Within the park three hills stand together: The Camel Hill in the back, Crescent Hill at the front and Putuo Hill in the middle. On the top of Putuo Hill there are four peaks: Tianshu, Tian, Tianji and Tianquan. Along with Yu, Kiayang and Yaoguang peaks of the top of Crescent Hill, they are called Seven Star Hill. The body of the hill is 51.5 Gongqing and is famous for its many caves.

There is a temple was built in the front of Putuo Hill, to honor Kwan Yin (Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) who it is said will remove the troubles of all people. The cave, Yuanfeng Cave, at the southwest foot of the hill is warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

In the middle of the hill there are Putuo Living and Preaching place, Flying Brim and Gate Arch, and Coloured Glaze Bright Red Decorations. Bixu Cliff Cave, Zhenwu Pavilion and the Four God Cave are all at the left side of it. There are more than one hundred pieces of carved stones from the past dynasties on Putuo Hill. One example is the Xiaoyao Building by Yan Zhenqing of the Tang Dynasty. Crescent Hill at its side is like the new crescent moon and so got the name, Crescent Hill. You can climb the hill by stone steps along side the small Dongjiang River. Along the way you will see many sites. Some of these sites are, Companying Moon Kiosk, Crescent rock, Small Guanghan Pavilion and Jinjiang Pavilion. All of these sights face the surface of the river. From here the view is wide and you can enjoy Guilin City fully. From the stone steps below to the south west foot of the hill you will see Longyin Cave, Longyin Rock and Gui Sea Stele Forest. Camel Hill is one of the more famous hills in Guilin City. Its original name was Flagon Hill which name was beared out from its appearance.
