Chuanshan Park
穿山公园
A karst park by the Xiaodong River where a natural cave pierces a mountainside like a moon hanging in the sky. The “Moon Cave of Chuanshan” is one of Guilin’s old eight scenic views, and the park is quiet.
Chuanshan lies south of Seven Star Park, near the confluence of the Xiaodong and Li rivers. Five peaks are linked together, and the main peak has a cave running through its midsection which, seen from afar, looks like a moon hanging in the hills, known as the “Moon Cave of Chuanshan.” The park includes Chuanshan Cave, with rich stalactite formations (separate ticket), the Shoufo Pagoda on Ta Hill, and a riverside path where you can see the Li River reflected on the Xiaodong. It has far fewer visitors than Elephant Trunk Hill or Seven Star Park. Admission is free or low-cost (confirm on site). It is a 15-minute walk from the south gate of Seven Star Park.
