Folded
Brocade Hill
Folded Brocade Hill (Diecai
Shan) is one of Guilin's most climbable
peaks situated very close to the city center
in the northeast of Guilin, near the Lijiang
River. The thin shape of the hill and lush
greenery around make it resemble brocaded
fabric.
Countless Chinese character
inscriptions decorate the stone sides of
the hill and the area around the path leading
to the top. Some other sights here include
Wind Cave, with its Buddhist carvings and
inscriptions, and "Cloud-catching Pavilion"
on Moon Peak, where you can get a clear
view of the city.
Solitary Beauty Peak and Wave-subduing
Hill can be seen from Folded Brocade Hill.
The Hill is not very high
and can be climbed in a half an hour to
an hour.
