If you look down from the sky, Duxiu Peak stands out, and although it is only 66 meters high, the peak rises straight up, almost 90 degrees vertical. So it is conceivable that climbing Duxiu Peak has become a task that requires both hands and feet because of this verticality.

No matter what, the result is that you can stand on Duxiu Peak and overlook the city of Guilin. It is really stable without any obstruction. Walking around the observation deck on the top of the mountain, you will feel the heroic spirit of owning this city.

Interestingly, there is a photography service at the top of the mountain, but if you have your own phone or camera, they will also use your photography hardware to take photos for you free of charge.

Just as the staff said, there was no additional sales promotion or other fees, and this service was very popular.

At around 3 pm on January 1, 2019, we went to visit Jingjiang Wangcheng.

Jingjiang King City is 556 meters long from north to south and 355 meters wide from east to west, covering an area of 197,800 square meters. It was built in 1372 AD. Its city walls are all made of giant square stones. The wall is 5.5 meters thick and nearly 8 meters high.

The royal city is surrounded by a 3-li-long city wall, which is built with square bluestones inside and outside and is very solid.

The Jingjiang Prince City had four gates in the east, south, west and north, named "Tiren" (Donghuamen), "Duanli" (Zhengyangmen), "Zunyi" (Xihuamen) and "Guangzhi" (Hougongmen) respectively.

This is a free area and the ticket office is still inside.

We entered from Donghua Gate, which is also known as Tiren. The "Zhuangyuan Jidi" archway on the gate was built for Long Qirui, the newly crowned number one scholar during the Daoguang period.

After entering the gate, there is a 101-year-old banyan tree, which shows the history of the palace.

Jingjiang Palace is grand, square and solemn. It is a city in Guilin, so it is called the Royal City. The yellow walls show the royal style.

Jingjiang Prince City, located in the center of Guilin, was built when Zhu Shouqian, the great-nephew of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, was named Prince of Jingjiang. The architecture of Jingjiang Prince City is a typical Ming Dynasty princely palace, with strict central axis symmetry, with the ancestral temple on the left and the altar of grain on the right. It has a history of more than 640 years, which is earlier than the time when the Forbidden City in Beijing was built. It is now a national key cultural relic protection unit and was successfully promoted to China's AAAAA-level scenic spot in 2013.

I bought a combined ticket for Wangcheng + Xiangshan at night, which is cheaper than buying it separately. You can enter directly by scanning the code. Bring your own tour guide. You must listen to the explanation here. I want to spend money while talking. What Tai Sui and the imperial examination, in the end, the 20-person team was selected to become the champion of the imperial examination and go to class to receive the award (the one with a big head and thick neck is either the boss or the cook. The staff should be the champion selected based on this, hahaha), and you have to pay the money. The blessing character that I printed by myself is also a consumption item. I have to take it away for 10 yuan each. However, I have heard of various film and television dramas about the Jingwang Mansion in the southwest, so it is more interesting to hear the explanation again.

The national AAAAA-level scenic spot, covering an area of 20 square kilometers, is located in Xiufeng District, Guilin City, on the bank of the Li River. It is represented by the beautiful Duxiu Peak and the entire Jingjiang Palace of the Ming Dynasty. The natural landscape and historical and cultural landscape in the scenic area complement each other, and it has been known as a "city within a city" since ancient times.

By Yilan Morning Rain |

Jingjiang Wangcheng and the Duxiu Peak on which it is based are the Feng Shui treasures and dragon veins of the entire Guilin area. It is also one of the campuses of Guangxi Normal University. The scenic area and the campus, tourists and students coexist harmoniously, giving it a special feeling. The cliff carvings at the foot of Duxiu Peak are intended to encourage a poem by Guilin students, which is also the original source of the famous line:

Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and its jade-green and blue beauty are beyond comparison.

The morale of the army is high and the battlefield is intense.

The tigers and leopards at the Nine Passes watch for their powerful enemies, while the Kunpeng in the sky thousands of miles away stores the dramatic stories.

Rubbing my old eyes suddenly makes them feel refreshed, and you all are the best in the fight.

When visiting Guilin, it is necessary to understand the culture and history of Wangcheng, which is closely related to the origin and development of Guilin. Listen carefully to the tour guide's explanation and don't be busy taking pictures or climbing mountains.

One of the two rivers and four lakes scenic spots, it looks a little lonely in the night, but it is the soul of the city.

By maxmem256 |

The urban area of Guilin is a towering pillar with unique features, but the scenery is a bit average. If you have the energy, you can climb it and enjoy the scenery of Guilin city.

By Rest, little thief |

A film photo from 15 years ago. It shows a university and a solitary peak. Climbing up it, one can have a good view of the unique urban form in the peak forest.

By Mumu Poetry and Distance |

Wangcheng Scenic Area is the heritage of Guilin's history and culture. It is adjacent to the city center and next to the Wangcheng Campus of Guangxi Normal University. You can climb Duxiu Peak to see the beauty of Guilin.

The old palace of the princes of the Ming Dynasty is now more of a residence from the Republic of China era.

By Lujiang Zhou Gongjin |

I am willing to give this one even if it has zero stars. Jingjiang Prince City is a shopping spot. When you enter the door, you will be led by a tour guide, and then you will be promoted on Feng Shui, Tai Sui, etc. In short, don't come to Jingjiang Prince Palace when you come to Guilin, just take a look outside the scenic area.

By 丶Monster |

Located in Wangcheng Scenic Area, Duxiu Peak. The highest mountain in Guilin City, known as the king of Guilin's mountains, Wangcheng was also the location of the Jingjiang Prince's Palace in the Ming Dynasty. There are various cliff carvings at the bottom of the peak, such as Tai Sui, Fu, etc.

By Pippi |

The highest peak in Guilin ~ The explanation included in the ticket is good. It is recommended to listen to it even if you have to wait a little longer.

By Xishuai Group I am handsome |

The winding mountain road reaches straight into the sky.

Climb to the platform halfway up the mountain to take a short break. The cute basalt attracts most tourists' attention. Continue to climb up. Climb to the top of Duxiu Peak and overlook the entire Guilin city. The scenery here is unique.

By Xiaoyao Lake |

Duxiu Peak in Wangcheng Scenic Area, friends who like mountain climbing can go up to see the scenery

By Cat walking on colorful clouds |

Located in the center of Guilin, its unique location determines its special geographical location. The saying "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" was first discovered on the stone carvings at the foot of Duxiu Peak. Climbing Duxiu Peak, you can overlook Qixing Rock from afar. You can clearly see seven peaks, four on the left and three on the right, just like the Big Dipper, silently escorting Guilin.

By 錦雲 |

It can be regarded as a comprehensive view and one of the must-see attractions.

By Guilin leisure travel summer |

As expected, it is the place where the prince lives. The scenery here is unique. The tour guide is also very good. From the shallow to the deep, from ancient times to the present life, it makes people suddenly realize. Moreover, this is the royal city built earlier than the Forbidden City. I took an aerial photo and you can see that it is really in the center of our city.

By Little Fish |

When you come to Guilin, you must go to Duxiu Peak, a very exquisite place. It has good feng shui and historical allusions. But we didn't go up the mountain because we were too tired. There is a parking lot inside!

By Mimi Guoguo 2013 |

Duxiu Peak in Wangcheng is said to be the center of Guilin City. It is one of the main peaks of Guilin, along with Diecai Mountain and Fubo Mountain. The relative height is only 66 meters. It takes 20 minutes to climb to the top of the mountain, but the step difference is really large. But the amazing thing is that the two little girls climbed much faster than us.

From the top of Duxiu Peak, you can overlook the entire city of Guilin. Although the scenery is average, it is worth climbing if you are not in a hurry.

By Jiang Tao Vision |

The famous saying "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" is engraved at the foot of Duxiu Peak. Duxiu Peak is known as the "pillar of the south sky" and is known as the No. 1 peak in Guilin. The peak rises abruptly and is surrounded by many other mountains. It stands alone and is the king of all mountains in Guilin and a landmark of Guilin. The road to Duxiu Peak is very smooth and it only takes about ten minutes to reach the top of the mountain. It is the best viewing platform for a bird's eye view of the panoramic view of Guilin, with a thousand miles at a glance.

By Knife |

Walking further back along the central axis of Jingwang City, you will reach Duxiu Peak, which rises abruptly and looks as if it was cut by a knife or an axe.

From the top of the peak, you can have a bird's eye view of Guilin city, and Fubo Mountain is not far away.

Duxiu Peak can only overlook part of the royal city.

The road up and down Duxiu Peak is relatively straight and steep. Legend has it that Xu Xiake traveled in Guilin for more than a month but regretted not being able to climb this peak.

By China-TravelNote users |

At Dushu Rock on Duxiu Peak, you can also find the original cliff inscription left by Wang Zhenggong from the Southern Song Dynasty 800 years ago, which reads “Guilin’s Landscapes Are the Best in the World”.

The tour guide of Wangcheng was unexpectedly good. We went to Wangcheng together and booked tickets on China-TravelNote. We thought we could visit it freely, but we didn't expect that Wangcheng had a free tour guide service. We put individual tourists into a small group and were led by a tour guide. The whole tour took about 2 hours. We were led by tour guide No. 91, Xiao Wang. His explanation was humorous and funny. He was also able to take care of the elderly who walked slowly. I give a thumbs up to Xiao Wang! After the tour, we rushed to Laobiaoji for dinner and found that there was a whole food street there. It was only a 10-minute walk from Wangcheng, which was very convenient. I was disappointed with the Elephant Trunk Hill. There was nothing to see, so I just took a photo. Wangcheng, on the other hand, gave me and my friend a big surprise! At the end, there was an interactive session on the imperial examination, which made us laugh. We filled in the answers but forgot to write our names (˃̶̤́ ꒳ ˂̶̤̀ ) If you want to be the champion, you must write your name, hahahahahahahaha

By Three bazookas |

The place where you exit Wangcheng is Duxiu Peak. To be honest, Duxiu Peak can't be considered as climbing a mountain, but that day I climbed under the scorching sun with my SLR camera. When I looked around halfway, I didn't know how to describe my feelings about Guilin, a famous tourist city. I always felt that it should be better developed, but I was glad that it retained the green mountains and green waters and the lush greenery. But after climbing a few more steps, I couldn't help but ask myself the meaning of climbing...

Wangcheng is a 5A-level scenic spot located on the west bank of the Li River in Guilin. It was the palace of Zhu Shouqian, the prince of Jingjiang in the Ming Dynasty. It was built in the fifth year of Hongwu (1372 AD) and completed in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu (1392 AD). The outer perimeter of Jingjiang Wangcheng has the best-preserved Ming Dynasty city wall in China. As Jingjiang Wangcheng is located in the central area of Guilin, there is a saying that "You can know Guilin by visiting Wangcheng".

By Bai Xubo |

Every high place must be climbed. Duxiu Peak is a prominent commanding height in Guilin. In addition, it is located in the center of the city, so you can have a good view in all directions. Duxiu Peak is also a relatively straight and vertical mountain, and it is also nice to look up from below.

By Sunshine after rain |

Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the city of Guilin. The mountain is not high but rather steep.

By TOM |

Duxiu Peak is located inside Jingjiang Wangcheng, about 66 meters high. It is a good place to see the panoramic view of Guilin City. There are not many steps on the mountain, but it is quite steep and narrow. Be careful not to slip when going up and down.

Duxiu Peak is located in the Jingjiang Wangcheng (now the Wangcheng Campus of Guangxi Normal University) in the center of Guilin. It is a solitary peak that is steep and majestic, and is known as the "Pillar of the South Sky".

I just came back from Guilin. When I was shopping in Dongxixiang, I saw a store called Lijiangyuanwei doing an event. It gave away tickets and hotels. If you buy 200 yuan of local specialties, you can get tickets to Elephant Trunk Hill. At that time, I thought I had to buy souvenirs for my friends anyway, so I bought 200 yuan for a ticket. The next day, I went to play in Elephant Trunk Hill. It felt very affordable. It was much more cost-effective than taking a boat outside and watching from a distance. If you have friends who go, you can go and have a look. I think it's quite a bargain. I heard from the waiter in the store that you can also exchange for a hotel. I booked the hotel in advance and didn't ask for the hotel. Later, I went to Meituan to check out the hotel. It was a new hotel. The decoration picture looked very good and beautiful, and the reviews were also very good. I went home and searched for this store on Taobao, and I really found it. The things are also cheaper than those sold in physical stores, and you can also participate in the event. If you need it, you can go and find out. It's for reference only.

Duxiu Peak is a national cultural relic protection. There is a reading rock on the hill in Jingjiang Wangcheng, on which is written the famous sentence "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" by a Southern Song Dynasty man. You can overlook the city of Guilin from the top of the peak. It is said that the dragon vein of Guilin is under Duxiu Peak. There is a cave at the foot of the mountain, in which 60 Taisui are enshrined, arranged according to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, one Taisui per year.

The biggest regret is that I didn't take the exam.

By Kikuko |

Duxiu Peak is the highest peak in Guilin and is located in Jingjiang Wangcheng. It is said that the surrounding buildings cannot exceed it. On the steep cliff stone wall of Duxiu Peak, you can see the red cloth strip that reads "Guilin Landscapes are the Best in the World". The "Shou" character given by Empress Dowager Cixi is used to worship Tai Sui. No one is allowed to enter without a tour guide from Wangcheng. There is also an imperial examination exhibition that requires a tour guide to take pictures and be led to consume. You are not allowed to take pictures of the imperial examination exhibition, but you can learn about the unique Chinese imperial examination culture. You can participate in the simulated ancient imperial examination with the tour guide. There are compartments one by one, just like on TV. You are not allowed to take pictures, but they will take pictures for you. You have to pay for the pictures at the exit. If you don't take the pictures, they will throw them away. Do you want to take them? I was a little angry and didn't take them. It is said that the stone slab above is the original work of Emperor Qianlong. The one below is a copy for everyone to see clearly what is written. After leaving the tour guide, my son wanted to climb the steep Duxiu Peak. I accompanied him up the mountain. My father was worried, so he followed me up the mountain. They both had good physical strength, and I was exhausted. Sure enough, there are no buildings around taller than Duxiu Peak.

There are stone carvings from various dynasties on Duxiu Peak, the most valuable of which is the "Impromptu Poem to Persuade the Emperor at a Grand Banquet" carved in front of Dushu Rock. The words in the poem, "Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world", which are the first row of words on the upper right side of the stone tablet, have long been praised by people throughout the world.

"Duxiu Peak" is a park in Guilin. In the Jingjiang Wangcheng (now the Wangcheng Campus of Guangxi Normal University) in the center of Guilin, there is a solitary peak that is steep and majestic, known as the "pillar of the south sky". At the foot of the mountain in the east is the Reading Rock of Yan Yanyuan, a writer in the Liu Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties, which is the oldest celebrity site in Guilin. Yan once wrote the famous sentence "No one is as beautiful as Duxiu, the majestic city", and Duxiu Peak got its name from this. When the morning light shines or the sunset glows, the solitary peak looks like a purple robe and golden clothes, so it is also called Zishe Mountain.

Main attractions

Reading Rock

Dushu Rock is located on the southeast side of Duxiu Peak. It was named after Yan Yanzhi, the prefect of Shi'an (Guilin) County in the Southern Dynasties, who often studied here. It is the earliest celebrity scenic spot in Guilin.

Taihei Rock

Located in the southwest of Duxiu Peak, it was named after the "Taiping Tongbao" found in the cave by King Jingjiang during the Ming Dynasty. There are cliff carvings of 60 Jiazi gods in the cave. Chinese traditional culture uses 60 Jiazi to record years, and each year has a corresponding year god who is in charge of human affairs. The 60 Jiazi also corresponds to the 12 zodiac signs in the zodiac customs. Each zodiac sign has five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Therefore, it is an interesting thing for tourists to come to Taiping Rock to find the year god corresponding to their own zodiac sign and get to know him.

The scenic spot is in the center of Guilin, so transportation is very convenient. There are many buses in the city that can get here. Take bus No. 1, 22, 30, 99, 100, etc. to the Zhongshan Middle Road Lequn Road Intersection Station in the city, walk 50 meters east and take bus No. 10, 11, 14, 18, 98, etc. to the Jiefang East Road Jiefang Bridge Station in the city, and walk 100 meters north. You can visit from 7:30 in the morning to 6:30 in the evening. The ticket price is 70 yuan.

There is also the ancient Guangxi Gongyuan (gently insert: equivalent to the only test site for the current college entrance examination). The hardware score is really high. Since we didn't take pictures in the Gongyuan in the Jingjiang Palace, we were not allowed to do so, so I can't post the pictures for you. After we went in, we also sat in the number room pretending to be candidates and had a taste of the imperial examination. Let me tell you a secret. The bad name on the test paper was filled in by the leader of our company. When the answer sheet was read out, I didn't pay any attention to it.

Although Duxiu Peak is also within Wangchengjing, it is not covered by the guided tour route in the park because it involves climbing. However, there are corresponding staff at each stage on the peak to provide simple explanations.



There are still a lot of cliff carvings on Duxiu Peak, and friends who love calligraphy can see some of the tricks. But there are too many tourists and the trail is too narrow, so it is difficult to stop for a long time to appreciate it carefully.

Anyway, we sneaked in before 8 o'clock in the morning = ̄ω ̄= and did not buy tickets >0< Then we watched the sunrise and overlooked the whole city of Guilin (it was really nice, the scenery was great). The main point is that there was almost no one, only a few locals were exercising. The steps were steep and high, and the elderly and people with mobility problems were not recommended to climb. Then after 8 o'clock, tour groups came up one after another. The two of us followed the tour group and "by the way" visited Prince Jing's Mansion (cough cough, covering our faces, and we didn't get tickets QAQ because we followed the tour guide directly and listened to the explanation of the tour guide. The ticket inspector at the door didn't check us). In general, it was pretty good, especially the sunrise, which was beautiful (but I was freezing to death while waiting for the sunrise, it was cold windy) But the scenery is really recommended (the main point is that I haven't spent the ticket money yet = ̄ω ̄=)

It is an independent mountain in the urban area and can be seen by opening the window of the residence.

Duxiu Peak is located in Jingjiang Palace. The mountain is not very high, only 66 meters, but the steps are high and a bit shaky. I am timid and climb slowly, about 30 minutes back and forth. Looking from the mountain, there are no high buildings, the scenery is still good, and it is known as the first peak in Guilin. There are several temples on the mountain. When you are close to the top of the mountain, there will be staff to give you a blue ribbon. When you arrive at the temple, put it in the box, and believers can worship it a few times.

The mountain is not high, but it is very steep. The stairs are quite narrow in some places, and there is only one way up and down.

There is nothing much to see in the Jingjiang Prince's Palace.

Duxiu Peak is the back garden of Prince Jing's Mansion and the location of the dragon vein. The Guilin Municipal Government has ordered that the height of buildings in Guilin City must not exceed the height of Duxiu Peak😊. ps: There is a source saying: Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and the jade green and blue are worth considering.

Duxiu Peak is located in Jingjiang Wangcheng. Next to an inconspicuous pavilion, there is a wooden sign. The stairs here lead to Duxiu Peak. If you don't look carefully, you will miss it. Duxiu Peak feels like it is only about five stories high. Some places are a bit steep, and there is a walkway to go up and down the mountain. But overall it is easy to climb. It took about half an hour to go back and forth. You can see the gate of Jingjiang Wangcheng on Duxiu Peak, and you can see Diecai Mountain on the viewing platform. There is a stone on the mountain that says "The First Peak of Guilin". It is said that it was newly placed there. There is a fee for taking photos...

After the tour guide in the scenic area gave us a full introduction, we were asked to climb Duxiu Peak by ourselves. It is very steep and we need to be careful. It is said that you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Guilin from the top of the peak. You can indeed see the river, but the building is sandwiched between the mountains and waters, which spoils the scenery!

It is difficult for ordinary elderly people to climb up. The steps are steep and narrow. You must hold the iron rope. When you come down, your legs are shaking. The 66-meter-high Duxiu Peak can only have such steep and narrow steps. The scenery above is quite good. As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see. You can even see the Li River. It is a Feng Shui treasure land.

It's nice to see the whole city of Guilin from the top of the mountain. In fact, the mountains in Guilin are all Fubo Mountain and Diecai Mountain, but the angles of view are different. But the scenery is beautiful!

By Xiao An's Love Song LOVE |

It's a bit shaky when you go up, but the view at the top is good, it's worth the climb

The earliest poem that Guilin's landscape is the best in the world was engraved on Duxiu Peak. Guilin's landscape is the best in the world and has been used as an immortal quote to comment on Guilin's landscape for 800 years.

Duxiu Peak is actually very small, only 66 meters high. It is one of the main peaks in Guilin. At a glance, it looks like a huge screen. The buildings in Guilin are not very high. The tour guide said that because Duxiu Peak is the highest peak in Guilin, all buildings cannot be higher than Duxiu Peak.

I have to complain about this. I originally planned to go to Yangshuo, and saw such a scenic spot in the city. I thought it was a small scenic spot on the roadside, so I went to see it. It turned out to be 5A-level. The ticket price was too expensive. There was nothing to play inside. There was only a tour guide who gave you a history lesson and took you to buy things. If you didn't buy anything, you had to go by yourself. I also got altitude sickness. When I climbed up to Duxiu Peak, my heart was in a mess, and it was raining again.

Looking out over the city of Guilin from Duxiu Peak, I saw the Kanas landform for the first time and was amazed by the magic of nature! The buildings in Guilin are all small high-rise buildings, and no building is higher than Duxiu Peak. This is because the local government prohibits buildings from being higher than the 66-meter height of Duxiu Peak to show its supreme absolute status.

Coming out of the Imperial Academy, Duxiu Peak stood before us. To be honest, we were a little disappointed when it appeared in front of us. It looked much shorter and fatter than in the photo. Hahaha, I don't know if it's because girls like tall things by nature, but the short and fat Duxiu Peak disappointed us a little. But the inscriptions on the exposed rocks on Duxiu Peak fully prove its status in Guilin! Just like there are places that must be fought for in wars, there are also places that must be mentioned for scholars and poets who love to travel! I believe Duxiu Peak is one of them.

Duxiu Peak is located in Wangcheng, Guilin, and it is an integral part of the Wangcheng Scenic Area.

The highest peak in Guilin city is actually only 60 meters high, but the scenery is very nice.

By Jingxing Xingzhi |

The unique stalactites are like a tall and steep mountain.

By Mu Yi Qing Feng |

It is known as the No. 1 Peak in Guilin. Located in Jingjiang Palace, it is a small mountain rising from the flat ground. The mountain is not very high, but it is very steep and surrounded by cliffs. There are many ancient inscriptions and stone carvings on it.

The road to Duxiu Peak is difficult. You can see the whole picture of Guilin from the top of the mountain, but the stairs are too steep. My legs were shaking when I went down the mountain...

This scenic spot was basically built later. There are tour guides in the scenic spot. They will form a group and start to lead you around. I was quite happy at first, after all, there are many cultural things that you won’t know if you see them by yourself. Unfortunately, the tour guide basically introduced rubbings throughout the whole process. Just like the Prince Gong’s Palace in Beijing, it is for people to buy the world’s first blessing... but here it is for people to pray to Tai Sui.

Since the scenic spot wants to sell photos, basically no photography is allowed. The picture below is the imperial examination, which is quite interesting. In the end, two champions will be selected, and they will be awarded with imperial edicts to change into champion clothes and take two photos, and a small box of Sanhua wine. I complained to my husband why I was not awarded, and later found out that I had to pay wedding money. I saw that the two people each gave 50... Oh my god, the tickets are expensive enough, and they are robbing!
