Green Lotus Peak

Green Lotus Peal lies southeast of Yangshuo town and faces the Li River. This peak rises out of the river like a lotus. Hence it is called the Green Lotus Peak. It is the most famous hill in Yangshuo.

Green Lotus Peak, flat and smooth, resembles a mirror in its front view. So people also named it Jianshan Hill (Mirror Hill). Looking at the hill after passing it, one finds the hill silently floating on water like an elegant budding green lotus, forming an enchanting scene.

Green Lotus Peak has many inscriptions on its cliffs, in which the 5-meter-long Chinese character "Dai" caved in the Qing Dynasty is the most famous. The later generations endowed the character with a meaning "as the river and mountains unfold their greatness before your eyes, young lads, you should work hard to let your name pass down forever."
