Folded Brocade
Hill
 Folded
Brocade Hill (Diecai Shan) is one of Guilin's
most climbable peaks situated very close
to the city center in the northeast of Guilin,
near the Lijiang River. The thin shape of
the hill and lush greenery around make it
resemble brocaded fabric.
Countless Chinese character inscriptions
decorate the stone sides of the hill and the area
around the path leading to the top. Some other
sights here include Wind Cave, with its Buddhist
carvings and inscriptions, and "Cloud-catching
Pavilion" on Moon Peak, where you can get
a clear view of the city.
Solitary Beauty Peak and Wave-subduing
Hill can be seen from Folded Brocade Hill.
The Hill is not very high and
can be climbed in a half an hour to an hour.
