Guihai Stele Forest Museum
桂海碑林
A cluster of cliff inscriptions beside Seven Star Park around Longyin Cave and Longyin Rock, with more than 200 stone carvings from the Tang and Song onward, including the Song dynasty Stele of the Yuanyou Party Proscription.
The Guihai Stele Forest lies at the foot of Yueya Mountain, south of Seven Star Park. Centered on Longyin Cave and Longyin Rock, the cliffs are densely covered with some 200 inscriptions dating from the Tang and Song to the Ming and Qing dynasties, which is why it is called the “Guihai Stele Forest.” The Northern Song Stele of the Yuanyou Party Proscription is extremely rare and of high historical value. The rock groove at the top of Longyin Cave looks like the trace of a dragon that once passed by. It is now a museum, with low or free admission (confirm on site), and it may close on Mondays. It can be visited while touring Seven Star Park.
