What travellers are saying
- André KHefei, China285 contributionsThis is an amzing site to see. We went when the colour of the rice was changing from green to yellow , absolutely beautiful . There is a cable car to go up the hill but the climb is not to serious . If you are pressed for time take the cable car up and down otherwise enjoy the views and walk through the rice terraces.Written 9 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dmitry S3 contributionsThis is a must-go place with astonishing views and a reasonable 10 minute hike. Not very expensive, high quality stairs. Very safe.Written 5 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Harry LiGuilin, China15 contributionsThis is the most favorable park for the local citizens, cheap entry fee CNY25 for two main Hills and two caves! Enjoy the best view of Li River, some breeze in a hot city, some ancient stone inscriptions and a ¥10 mountain slide. Local post-rock band “Misswoman” wrote a beautiful song “Dié Cai” for this mountain.Written 15 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Matthew JGuilin, China90 contributionsXishan Park (西山公园 "Western Hill Park") is the second-largest park in Guilin, yet it seemed virtually untouched by tourists. Even better, souvenir salesmen and paparazzi picture-sellers are nowhere to be found. For these reasons, I like Xishan even better than 7-Star Park (the largest in Guilin).
To the north and west of the park, you can climb a few mountains and follow the winding paths to see Buddhas carved in the rocks, a monument to a Soviet Colonel, interesting rock formations, and amazing views. When I got to the top of Xishan and looked west, I felt as if I were in the middle of an unending forest with karst hills as far as I could see. Looking east, I realized that I was still in Guilin. These hills take an hour or two to really explore.
Heading east, after crossing the West Lake, you can climb Yinshan (隐山, "Hidden Hill"). This mountain gives great views of the park. This hill only takes 10-15 minutes to climb.
To get there, you can take bus 14 from Jiefang road, on the north side of the Center Square, near the Liberation Bridge, and south of the Princes City. It's about a 10 minute ride from City Center. The map I have also says bus 25, 89, and 209 will get you there.Written 1 June 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Could not see what the attraction was other than to climb this hill with views of Guilin.
The guide left us on our resources so could not get much of the history.
