Seven Star Park
Situated
on the eastern side of the Li River, Seven Star
Park is the biggest (with an area of 134 hectares)
with the best natural environment in Guilin. It
includes sites as Follower Bridge, Camel Hill,
Seven Star Cave and others.
The elegantly constructed Flowers
Bridge is the main gateway to the park. It was
first built in the Song dynasty and renovated
in the Ming dynasty. It's said that in the ancient
time the bridge was well surrounded by wild flaming
flowers in spring, thus the name of the bridge.
Unfortunately, the number of flowers reduced greatly
during the Qing dynasty and now visitors can't
find any.
The Camel Hill is a wow of a sight.
Being in the shape of a huge camel, it was named
so. The hill is so life-like that it seems to
be elaborately forged by human. Actually it is
entirely a natural formation.
The
Seven Star Cave is a fantastic karst cave with
a large number of stalagmites and stalactites,
which decorate the cave into an eye-dazzling beautiful
place.
Other famous scenic spots here
are: Crescent Hill, Putuo Hill, Guihai Stele Forest.
