Seven Stars Park, covering an area of more than 120 hectares (297 acres), is the largest comprehensive park with great scenery in Guilin City. Located at the east bank of Li River, the park is 1.5 kilometers (0.9 mile) from the downtown area of Guilin. The park was so famous because of the seven peaks (the four peaks of Putuo Mountain and three of Crescent Mountain) inside resemble the form of the Big Dipper constellation.
The park is endowed with elegant mountains, clear water, miraculous stone forest, deep and serene valleys, plentiful animals and plants and valued cultural relics. It has been popular since the Sui (581-618) and Tang (618-907) Dynasties. The main sights contain Flower Bridge, Putuo Mountain, Seven Stars Cave, Camel Hill, Crescent Mountain, Guihai Stele Forest and Light of China Square.
Like most parks in Guilin, there are entrance fee(s) to enter. In the case of Seven-star cave, you must pay to enter the park (seven-star park admission is 30RMB), and again to enter the cave (an additional 20 RMB). |
