Today we went to see the sights in Guilin.
This is Elephant trunk hill.
The myth - a heavenly elephant once came to earth to help the workers. This angered the emperor of heaven who stabbed the elephant where it stood drinking, thus turning it into stone. The cylinder shaped Puxian Pagoda on the top of the hill resembles a handle of a sword which used by the emperor of heaven.
