The Solitary Beauty Peak (Duxiufeng), located on the campus of the Guangxi Normal University in the center of Guilin city, projects out from the ground like giant spike. The hill has a special light effect with its color changing from purple to golden as the sun rises and sets. Therefore, it is also called "Purple-golden Hill".
The climb to the peak is steep, but the view from the top is worth the effort as you'll be able to take in the surrounding countryside along with the Li River. At the bottom of the peak is the Wang Cheng, which was a Ming dynasty palace where the regional imperial exams were held. |
