Bilian Peak
碧莲峰
A landmark peak on the Li River in Yangshuo town. At its foot are Jianshan Temple and a huge 'Dai' character carved into the cliff. It is a viewpoint beside West Street.
Bilian Peak rises at the southeastern corner of Yangshuo town, beside the Li River. Its shape resembles an unopened lotus bud. The ancient saying 'Yangshuo's landscape surpasses all of Guilin' captures the spirit of this place. At its foot stand Jianshan Temple, the Welcoming River Pavilion, and a giant 'Dai' character carved into the rock cliff. A path leads up to a mid-slope viewing terrace, where you can see the Li River and Shutong Hill. The peak is now part of the Yangshuo Mountain and Water Park. Tickets cost about 30 to 50 yuan, and the visit takes about 1 hour. It is a five-minute walk from West Street, making it a good place for an evening stroll.
