Lijiang
River
The Lijiang River (Li
River) scenic area, totaling 83 km. in length,
is situated in Guilin
City of Guangxi
Zhuang Autonomous Region. Hanyu vividly
described the enchanting beauty of the Lijiang
River in his poem: The River looks like
a blue silk ribbon, and the mountains resemble
emerald hairpins."
The Lijiang River is famous
for its beauty of four unique: verdant mountains,
fragrant waters, mysterious grottoes, and
exquisite rocks. Along the river, there
are deep pools, dangerous shoals, murmuring
springs, and roaring waterfalls. Going downstream
in a tourist boat, one can enjoy spectacular
views of crowded towering peaks along the
riverbanks, waterfalls suspending over forests
of rocks, and their crashing sprays upon
jutting rocks. What one marvels at most
is the Picture Cliff. It's endowed by nature's
uncanny workmanship, with a smooth flat
surface. Seen from a distant boat, due to
the interplay of various shades of brilliant
colors upon it, the surface looked as if
painted with a picture of faintly discernible
9 houses. On the crest of the peak, poised
a colossal "steed", rearing its head and
neighing, while by its side two "Colts"
were grazing. One can see " The Avant-garde
Horse" on the summit of Yuwei Peak and "The
Horse Falling Behind" on Mahuang Mountain.
The Lijiang River brimming
with crystal-clear waters twists and turns
between magnificent and beautiful mountains.
Its banks are covered with lush bamboo and
luxuriantly green woods. Luohan Mountain,
Chaoban Mountain, Wuzhi Mountain and Luosi
Mountain rise up from under the waters.
What a splendid scenery they present!
