Guilin Folded Brocade Hill

Towering over Lijiang's west bank, Folded Brocade Hill (diecai hill) lies in the northern part of Guilin city. The name is derived from its unusual looking rocks which are broken horizontally. It covers an area of approximately 2 sq km, and consists of Yueshan Hill, Look-on-All-Direction Hill, Crane Peak and Bright Moon Peak .

The Wind Cave runs from north to south halfway up the hill. A cool breeze blows here it in all seasons.

After passing through the Wind Cave, you come to the Face-the -Cloud Pavilion, Over-the-River Pavilion, and finally the summit of Bright moon Peak, where Catch-the -Cloud Pavilion commands a splendid view of tourist attractions that were already famous in the Tang Dynasty, or some 1,000 years ago.
