Folded Brocade Hill (Guilin City)

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.

Open: 8:00am-6:00pm daily.
How to get there: Bus No. 1 to Folded Brocade Hill.
