There are three peaks in front, like bucket handle, called "Crescent Mountain". There are four peaks in the north, like buckets, called "Putuo Mountain". Two mountains and seven peaks, like the "Big Dipper" in Tianshan Mountain, are collectively called "Seven-Star Mountain". Qixing Park and Qixing Rock are also named after this.

Famous scenic spots include: Big Dipper, Hongqiao Hongying, Crescent Fairyland, Long Yin Miracle, Putuo Stone Forest, Qixia Scene, Tiger Mountain Chixia, Guihai Stele Forest, Light of China, Bonsai Art Park, etc. The whole park has a beautiful environment and has become a tourist attraction as early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Deng Xiaoping, Guo Moruo, Clinton and many other Chinese and foreign celebrities and heads of government have visited this park. Seven Star Park has four gates. You can try not to go back when you visit, and arrange the route reasonably in the west of Qixing Park and east of Huaqiao. The stone is as tall and straight as a column, so it is called "Tianzhu". Another example is the unopened hibiscus stone, also called "hibiscus stone". The stone tablet is about 10 meter high and engraved with seven characters "Long live Mao Zedong Thought". To the north is Lingjian River, and there is a small pavilion on the rocks in the river. There are lush trees in the southeast, surrounded by greenery. There are banyan trees on the top of the stone, which are graceful and shaded. The floods in the fifth year of Chongning (1 106) and the eleventh year of Guangxu (1885) are engraved in the north of Tianzhu, which is an important data for studying ancient hydrology. Kuang Zhouyi, a famous Lingui poet in the late Qing Dynasty, once lived under Tianzhu Peak. He had a small seal of "Tianzhu Peak is a family", which was often stamped on stationery.

The scenery in Guilin is the best in the world. Meng Calligraphy Flower Bridge is the oldest bridge in Guilin, which was built during the reign of Jia Xi in the Song Dynasty. Located at the main entrance of the park, across the intersection of Jiang Xiaodong and Lingjian Stream, with a total length of135m. There are wind and rain corridors on the bridge deck, green glazed tiles on the bridge pavilion, and the bridge is a rock with strong national style. Every spring and summer, the flowers bloom brilliantly, and there are many flowers beside the bridge. Peach blossoms and bamboos are planted on both sides of the bridge, and the bridge is hidden in the "full-flowing and semi-flowing flowers", hence the name Flower Bridge. The existing bridge is a four-hole bridge rebuilt by 1965 according to the original style, made of bluestone. Under the bridge, four semi-circular bridge opening and their reflections in the water form four jade plates, just like a full moon, just like the beautiful scenery of "Four bright moons with hibiscus, half into Chengjiang, half into rainbow" sung in the poem. Mount Putuo is the main body of Qixing Park. It consists of Shu Tian, Tian Xuan, Tianji and Tian Quan in the northwest of Qixing Mountain. At an altitude of 265 meters, Guanyin Bodhisattva is worshipped on the mountain, commonly known as Putuo. Mount Putuo is rich in scenery, with many caves and pavilions. Qixingyan is the most famous one, and the pavilions are especially unique, including Qixia Pavilion and Bixu Pavilion. There is a yuan wind tunnel at the foot of Xishan Mountain. It is hot in midsummer, but it is breezy here. It's not far from here along the osmanthus tree-lined road to the north, and Putuomen is the entrance to the mountain. There are many landscapes such as Putuo Stone Forest, Putuo Building, Guanyin Cave and Xuanwu Pavilion on the mountain. Until the Star-Picking Pavilion on Tianji Peak, we can see the magnificent scenery of "A Thousand Peaks Surround the Wild, One Water Holding the City Flowing" written by Liu Kezhuang, a great poet in the Song Dynasty.
There are many cultural relics in Putuo Mountain, including more than 200 stone carvings. The most precious are Xiaoyao Building by Yan Zhenqing in the Tang Dynasty, Bi Xuming by Fan Chengda in the Song Dynasty, and the relief of "Tortoise and Snake in One" in the Ming Dynasty. Camel Mountain (Hump Mountain) is located behind Putuo Mountain and looks like a camel squatting on the ground. Because it looks like an ancient hip flask, it is also called Tiger Mountain or hip flask mountain. Its state is named because it looks like a camel. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, celebrities in the south of the Yangtze River lived here in seclusion and planted peach blossoms all over the place. Every spring, peach blossoms bloom like red clouds, as if to cover Camel Mountain with a layer of red clouds. The scenery is extremely beautiful. The ancients called it "Hump Red Cloud", which is one of the top ten scenic spots in Guilin.
1In July, 1998, US President Bill Clinton gave a speech on environmental protection on the lawn in front of Camel Mountain after holding a forum on environmental protection with China people in the bonsai art park beside the mountain. He shook a folding fan in Guilin and humorously called it "energy-saving air conditioning".
At dawn, Xia Guang reflects rocks, which are colorful and spectacular. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there have been peach trees all over the mountain. If it comes in spring, the peach blossoms are brilliant, and the Jiangxia purple is particularly enchanting. Therefore, "Tiger Mountain and Red Xia" is one of the new eight scenic spots in Guilin in Qing Dynasty. There are pavilions around the mountain, such as zoo, bonsai art garden, flower garden tea room and so on. Camel Mountain is related to Lei Jiuren, and Lei Jiuren is related to wine. Lei Jiuren, formerly known as Lei Mingchun, was a Confucian scholar in the south of the Yangtze River in the late Ming Dynasty. Later, he went to Guilin and lived at the foot of the mountain. Lei Mingchun likes drinking. He is often drunk. People sometimes call him "the brewer". He is good at poetry and writing, and has such works as Shen in Wen Da and Tian Hai Zhi in Guilin. He also planted peach blossoms in front of and behind the mountain. Every spring, when the peach blossoms bloom every year, the hump appears more lively and energetic among the flowers. Lei Jiuren died and was buried at the foot of Camel Mountain. Wen Linlang, the magistrate of Lingao County, Guangdong Province, carved the word "Tomb of Drunken Man" on the camel neck of Camel Mountain in the 52nd year of Kangxi, expressing his admiration for his kindness, loyalty and integrity. Peach blossoms remain the same, osmanthus trees become forests, flowers and fruits are full of gardens, and "the lake and the mountains are red and rosy" is more colorful. The inscriptions in Long Yin Cave in Guihai Forest of Steles and Longyin Rock nearby are correct, so it is called Guihai Forest of Steles. There are more than 220 stone carvings in the forest of steles, covering economic, military, cultural and folk customs. Various forms, including poems, essays, songs, couplets, images, etc. Calligraphy styles include regular script, cursive script, official script and seal script. , has a high historical value and calligraphy art appreciation value.
Guilin Monument Pavilion collects thousands of important rubbings of other rocks in Guilin, all of which are rare treasures. Jingjiang Fucheng Map, which extends from Parrot Mountain in the north of Guilin, is one of the two oldest existing ancient stone carving maps in China and the largest stone carving city map in China. This map uses landscape symbols for the first time, which is an important pioneering work in the history of map design. There are also Han Yunqing's Ode to Ping Man and Shun Temple Monument in the Tang Dynasty, which record the process of pacifying Pan Changan, the chief of Xiyuan County in the Tang Dynasty. The First Record of Foreign Thieves by Kong in Song Dynasty and the Monument of Pingman in Da Song Dynasty by Yu Jing describe the situation of pacifying Ou Xifan in Yizhou in Song Dynasty. Chen Mishou's "New Ku Ji" and Zengbo Li's "Anti-Yuan Monument" in the Southern Song Dynasty recorded the course of the Yuan Army's attack on Yunnan, Guangxi, Hunan and Song Jun. The Yuan Wind Tunnel was called Xuan Wind Tunnel in ancient times, commonly known as Gongliang Rock. At the western foot of Mount Putuo, the entrance faces west, with a height of 3 ~ 24 meters, a width of 2 ~ 15 meters and a depth of 250 meters, with an area of 1945 square meters. The Yuanfeng Tunnel communicates with other caves in Putuo Mountain, forming air convection. The air flow at the entrance is strong and the air in the cave is fresh. Due to the accumulation and dispersion of sunlight and mountain heat, the temperature in the cave is kept at around 20℃ all the year round. The temperature outside the cave is as high as 39℃ in summer and MINUS 5℃ in winter. The temperature difference between inside and outside the cave is about 65438 05℃. The inscription of "different temperatures in the cave" and the record of "warm in winter like fire, lying down" in Tian Rucheng's Travels accurately summarize the characteristics and reasons of Yuan Wind Tunnel's warm in winter and cool in summer. Zhao Shaoyin, a poet in the Song Dynasty, once built the Laifeng Pavilion at the entrance of the cave, the Qixing Temple in the Ming and Lu Dynasties, and the Daxian Temple in the Qing Dynasty, which has now disappeared.
