Guilin Qi Xi Park is renowned for its unique blend of karst mountains and classical gardens, hailed as a “living fossil” of Guilin’s landscape. Within the scenic area, towering peaks and seven limestone formations are distributed like the Big Dipper, with peculiar rocks and diverse shapes, such as the robust spine of the Camels Ridge and the winding resemblance of the Dragon Ridge, all masterpieces of nature’s artistry. The spectacular caves are even more astonishing, with limestone formations within Qi Xi Cave, stalagmites, pillars, and curtains like jade towers and palaces, while the dark river flows gently, creating a dreamlike world reminiscent of the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*.
