Guilin has some interesting sites to visit in the center of the city. Elephant Trunk Hill, Fubo Hill, and Accumulated Color Hill offer beautiful walks and good viewpoints over the city.
On the cultural level, there are three museums in Guilin: the ethnographic museum housed in an old traditional residence, the museum of the history of the city, and that of the heritage of the Jingliang princes which conceals a beautiful collection of Chinese porcelain.
Around the city, The Reed Flute Cave is filled with a large number of stalactites, stalagmites, and other rock formations. This attraction might be discovered in the Tang Dynasty because there were more than 70 inscriptions written in ink inside that can be dated back as far as 792 AD.
20 km east of Guilin is situated the Daxu village, and it has old quarters, bridges, ports, and traditional houses. Halfway between Guilin and Daxu, the mausoleum of the Jingliang prince, designed on the same basis as the Ming tombs of Beijing in more modest proportions, represents the remains of the decentralization of power that took place in the area during the Ming reign.
