Xiangshan Park often holds various flower exhibitions, and tourists wander among them, but seeing the steep mountains, clear water, quiet caves and charming flowers, they are suspected to be in a fairyland and linger. The trip to Guilin starts from Xiangshan Park.
Walking down the riverbank from binjiang road, you can get a panoramic view of Xiangshan. "Like a long wave, the cave gives birth to a bright moon." The first scene of Xiangshan Park is "Xiangshan Shuiyue". About 12000 years ago, the crust rose and the width of the Lijiang River began to shrink from 2 kilometers. At the eastern foot of the mountain, the river eroded and dissolved a round hole with a length of17m, a width of 9.5m and a height of12m, which was located between the elephant trunk and the elephant, namely "Shuiyue Cave", also known as Chaoyang Cave. The river passes through the hole, and the hole floats like a bright moon. There is a poem praising: "There is a bright moon underwater, and the bright moon floats on the water. Shuiyue doesn't go, and the water still flows when the moon goes. " Across the river from Xiangshan, there are clusters of green bamboos, lush fruit trees and bamboo sheds. In the rainy season, the clouds are steaming and foggy, and the green trees in the cottage are like gauze, which was called "Pizhou misty rain" by the ancients. It is listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Guilin. At this time, the colossus seemed to be endowed with life and lifelike in the misty rain. Xiangshan Shuiyue is regarded as the symbol of Guilin, and it is the most desirable scenic spot for Chinese and foreign tourists.
Elephant trunk mountain:
Shuiyuedong
Between the trunk and legs of Elephant Trunk Mountain. About 6.5438+0.2 million years ago, the earth's crust rose and the Lijiang River contracted, which accelerated the development of Shuiyue Cave and formed a circular cave with transparent east and west. Length 17m, width 9.5m, height 12m, covering an area of about 150m 2. "Xiangshan Ji" says, "There are caves, which can be opposite, round and long. Half of them are in the water, and the water is high and low, so the caves also have sizes."
The entrance of Shuiyue Cave faces the sun, also known as Chaoyang Cave. But the cave on the water, such as the bright moon floating, is very vivid, so the name of Shuiyue is still in use today. "Xiangshan Shuiyue" is one of the wonders of Guilin's landscape, and the bachelor of arts is a prose sentence, which is amazing. Song Ji wrote this poem in the "Shuiyue Cave" in the north of Chu Shi: "There is a bright moon underwater, which floats on the Elephant Trunk Mountain. The phrase "water doesn't go to the moon, but when the moon goes, water still flows" describes in detail the miracle that the moon in the sky, the moon in the cave and the moon under water reflect each other. The water moon in Xiangshan is opposite to the moon rock across the mountain in the south, one hanging in the sky and the other floating in the water, forming a strange landscape of "two moons in Lijiang River".
Chaoyang Pavilion was built in the Song Dynasty and in a cave. It was renamed Deyue Building in the Qing Dynasty and has been abandoned. There are more than 50 cliff carvings in the cave, such as Zhang Xiaoxiang's Poem of Chaoyangge, Fan Chengda's inscription of the Moon in the Water, and Lu You's manuscripts.
Chaoyang pavilion
The pavilion was abandoned in the Moon Cave built in the Song Dynasty, but as far back as 800 years ago, a back-to-back pen and ink lawsuit between two former local governors in Guangxi has always been an eternal topic for tourists here. It turns out that in the second year of the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1 166), Zhang Xiaoxiang stayed in the Hidden Cave until late, and then revisited it soon. As soon as he was happy, he wrote a preface to the poem. Because the entrance of the cave faces east, all the pavilion names, cave names and rock names are named "Chaoyang", and the Preface to Poetry of Chaoyang Pavilion should be located in the north wall of Shuiyue Cave. Later, Fan Chengda and Lord Gui found another way and restored their original names. They wrote an inscription on the Moon Cave after Shui Yue and carved it on the south wall of the cave.
Xiangyanyan
Elephant Eye Rock is located on the north and south sides of Elephant Trunk Mountain, which are connected with each other. It is about 2 meters high, 5 ~ 10 meters wide and 52.8 meters long. It is oblong and covers an area of about 274 square meters. Elephant Eye Rock was originally a short and ancient underground river, which was formed earlier than Shuiyue Cave, so it was named because it happened to be at the elephant eye. From the south pole entrance at the southern foot of Xiangshan Mountain, you can climb up the south eye along the stone steps. Out of Elephant Eye Rock, Panshan Road can reach the top of the mountain. There is a cliff in the north eye, and there is no access. Elephant Eye Rock is a pair of wonderful windows overlooking the scenery. From the left eye, the towering Lijiang Hotel is close at hand, the buildings and markets in the urban area are row upon row, and the mountain bars in half the city are vivid; Looking from the right eye, Jiang Bo sails, flickering between Zizhou, Tashan and Chuanshan.

The porch has been abandoned for a long time. " According to Fang Xinru's Title Rhyme and Shao Yiren's account, an ancient rhyme was built before Fang's title poem. The actual construction time of Yunyan Xuan Ya cannot be verified. Fang Xin-Ru wrote in his poem, "You don't need to be poor to explore sticks and quinoa. Forests and valleys are hidden in cities." Zeng Zun even wrote the sentence "There is a strange section on the cloud cliff" in "Thousand Rock Moon Cave", saying that it is credible that the cloud cliff porch was built at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain.
Pu Xian Tower
Seen from a distance, Pu Xian Tower looks like a hilt inserted on the back of an elephant and an antique Aquarius, so it is called "hilt tower" or "Aquarius tower". Built in the Ming Dynasty, the tower height 13.6 meters. The tower foundation is a double-layer octagonal sumeru. On the second floor, just north of the pedestal, there is a carved statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva in Nantian. The Pu Xian Tower is located at the top of Xiangshan Mountain, which not only coincides with the legend of Guilin's landscape, but also confirms Pu Xian's saying that he rides an elephant and carries an Aquarius, which also symbolizes peace, beauty and happiness in many legends in Asian countries. Elephant trunk rock is adjacent to Shuiyue Cave, so it is named after the elephant trunk in Elephant Trunk Mountain. The rock is 1.9m high, 3.3m wide, 13.5m long and 44.5m in area. The rock mouth faces the river, facing east, in a strip-shaped closed state, and it is a shady place with a good river view. Mao Binquan, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, once read the Book of Changes here, and later generations carved the word "Reading Rock" in the rock mouth, calling it "Dianyishan Window". Wanli (1577) Ding Chou was rebuilt in the first month of early spring, and there is an inscription that "Binquanshan people dug this hole deep". Zhang Xiang, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem "Interview with a Mountain Window in Maobinquan Point", in which there are words such as "a thousand hectares of water and light houses" and "a mountain window watching the Zhouyi".
