Seven Star
Park
 Situated
on the eastern side of the Li River, Seven Star
Park is the biggest (with an area of 134 hectares)
with the best natural environment in Guilin. It
includes sites as Follower Bridge, Camel Hill,
Seven Star Cave and others.
The elegantly constructed Flowers Bridge
is the main gateway to the park. It was first built
in the Song dynasty and renovated in the Ming dynasty.
It's said that in the ancient time the bridge was well
surrounded by wild flaming flowers in spring, thus the
name of the bridge. Unfortunately, the number of flowers
reduced greatly during the Qing dynasty and now visitors
can't find any.
The
Camel Hill is a wow of a sight. Being in the shape of
a huge camel, it was named so. The hill is so life-like
that it seems to be elaborately forged by human. Actually
it is entirely a natural formation.
 The
Seven Star Cave is a fantastic karst cave with
a large number of stalagmites and stalactites,
which decorate the cave into an eye-dazzling beautiful
place.
Other famous scenic spots here are:
Crescent Hill, Putuo Hill, Guihai Stele Forest.
