Peach Blossom River
Peach
Blossom River is a tributary of the
Li River, traversing the western part
of Guilin . In autumn the red leaves
along the river are spectacular. It
was called " Yangjiang River
" in the past. It originates
from the Enluo Mountain and Weiluo
Mountain to the northwest Guilin .
The peach flowers on both sides of
the river provide pleasant shade in
the hot summer. "Autumn Moon
on Yangjiang River " is one of
the eight most famous sights in Guilin
. People are often struck by the singular
beauty of clear water, peach blossoms,
and spectacular hills. Cruising down
the river, people will see a different
landscape. The hills on either side
of the clear river appear as if they
are floating on water. This view has
stirred the imagination of many poets
and artists for centuries.
