Seven-star Park (Seven-star Cave)
The Seven-Star Park is located east of Guilin City and sits on the east bank of the Lijiang River. Small Dongjiang River runs across the park. The entire park is more than 40 Hectare. This is a large park and it draws the greatest number of tourists in Guilin City. 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. A temple was built in the front of Putuo Hill, so named in the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD); to honor Kwan Yin 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. Overlapping grass, dense green cypress and very tall trees grace the hill. Going to the gate of the hill above, you can hear the cicada and the singing of birds. The forest is quiet. In the middle of the hill there are Putuo Living and Preaching place, Flying Brim and Gate Arch, and Coloured Glaze Bright Red Decorations. This area has been famous for many years. Going left you will pass Bixu Cliff Cave, Zhenwu Pavilion and the Four God Cave. Finally you will arrive at the world famous Seven Star Cave. As you go to the right and climb the hill you will come across the Three Generals Tomb and Eight Hundred Heroes Tomb, commemorating those who died in the Anti- Japanese War. You can still see 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. The name came from its appearance. It is shaped like a camel. The morning and evening light shining on the rocks make for a colorful display and the scenery is spectacular. Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD) and Qing Dynasty (1644-1911 AD) peach have been planted at the base of the hill and with the very beautiful Zoo, Bonsai, Flowers and Tea Rooms that were built around the hill it is a delightful place to see. Another very favorite and famous spot is called "Seven-Star Cave". It is located at the inner part of Hutuo Hill. It is 1,100m long, 50m wide and 20m high.
