Yufeng Park (Liyu Peak)
鱼峰公园（立鱼峰·小龙潭）
Liyu Peak looks like a carp standing in the water. At its foot, Little Longtan Pond is said to be where the song fairy Liu Sanjie rode a carp up to heaven, and it is the birthplace of Liuzhou's folk song culture.
Yufeng Park centers on Liyu Peak, whose shape resembles a carp standing upright, hence its name. The hill contains many caves and rock inscriptions from successive dynasties. At its foot, Little Longtan Pond is said to be where the song fairy Liu Sanjie rode a carp up to heaven, and a statue of Liu Sanjie stands by the pool. For centuries this has been a “song fair” (gewei) where Liuzhou people sing to one another. Residents still sing mountain songs and dance here every day, and around the Lunar Third Month Third Day festival there are large folk song events. It is a good place to experience Liuzhou's everyday folk culture. The climb to the summit takes about 20 minutes and can be combined with neighboring Ma'anshan. Admission is free. Transport: many city bus lines stop at “Yufeng Park,” about 2 km from Yaobu Ancient Town.
