About
Quick facts: Elephant Trunk Hill looks just like a giant elephant stretching its long trunk into the Li River, creating a highly recognizable natural landscape. Legend has it that the water cave under the elephant's trunk is called the "Water Moon Cave," and on moonlit nights, the moonlight reflected on the water at the cave's entrance creates a very enchanting scene.
Highlights: Elephant Trunk Hill is not only unique in shape but also hides the Water Moon Cave. At night, visitors can see the moonlight reflected on the water, like a moon in the water, a magical sight. The rocks on the hill show the texture of elephant skin, making it feel as if you can truly touch the elephant's trunk.
