Reed Flute Cave is located in the northwest of Guilin City

  Reed Flute Cave is located in the northwest of Guilin City, 5 kilometers away from the center of the city. It is one of the most extraordinary sceneries in Guilin. These remarkable scenes in the cave could undoubtedly evoke breathless admiration from domestic and foreign visitors. The length of the Reed Flute Cave is 240 meters. According to a legend, Reed Flute Cave got its name because people believed that the reed by the cave's mouth could be made into flutes. Its name is explained by the fact that reeds for making flutes and pipes have been grown in this region since ancient times. More information about China Tours in chinatourguide.com

  The Bright Hill where Reed Flute Cave lies was originally called Maomaotou Hill. It is said that there used to be a small hole halfway on the hillside. The reed grass grew lushly on the hill, which can be made into flute with melodious sound. Hence, the name of the cave was derived.    
At the time of writing, there are two entrances - one for domestic travelers and one for foreign guests. Perhaps foreigners get to pay more, perhaps it is to allow non-Chinese speakers to travel at their own pace. Either way, follow the signs and pay entry. Try to grab one of the large metal flashlights that are available for guides' use if you are not with a guide. It will allow you to turn on the lights inside the cave sections.

361
  Large tour groups go through the cave and stop at each of the "attractions", e.g. rock formations in the shape of [fill in the blank], all of which are highly lit by artificial neon lights. If you are traveling on your own, you can either tag along with a group or try to go at your own pace. The problem with your own pace is that you may miss things as the lights are timed and turn off automatically after some time. If you have one of the metal torches, you can find the light switch and use this to turn them on yourself.

Elephant Trunk Hill (Xiangbi Shan) is the most famous scenic spot in Guilin City

  Elephant Trunk Hill (Xiangbi Shan) is the most famous scenic spot in Guilin City. Located in where the Li River and Peach Blossom River (Taohua Jiang) merge, the landmark gets its name from its resemblance to an Elephant standing at the river's edge with its trunk in the water. The hill is over 300 million years old and is 55m high, 108m long and 100m wide. It is the symbol of Guilin and a creation of the famous Karst mountain formation.

 356
  On the path that leads to the trunk, you have the option of going up to the top where Puxian Pagoda from the Ming dynasty circa 1400 to 1600 stands. It is a very simple pagoda, shaped like the handle of swords, and appears carved out of rock. Tall trees prevent this from being much of a view point. The legend of how the hill came goes like this: a magic elephant came each night to drink from the Li River. The elephant drank so much that it was drinking the river dry! The king prayed for the elephant's destruction and one night, the gods answered his prayers by thrusting a sword between the elephant's shoulders when he came for his nightly drink. The elephant then turned to stone. The Puxian Pagoda on the top of the hill is the handle the sword that thrusting the elephant.
  The name of Elephant Eye Cave derives from two entrances which are located at what would be the Elephants Eye in the mountain. It is about 2 meter high with a width between 5-10 meters and spans the whole mountain (ca. 50m).

Ramoche Temple is one of the places for Tibetan monks to study Mi Zong

  Situated about a third of a mile north of Jokhang Temple and covering a total area of 43,056 square feet, Ramoche Temple is one of the places for Tibetan monks to study Mi Zong (another Buddhist sect). Although the temple was originally built in the middle of the seventh century, it fell into ruin and went through many reconstructions; at present only the Buddha hall on the first floor of its main building remains in its original state. Inside the hall, there are ten pillars engraved with patterns such as lotus flowers, coiling clouds, and jewelry, which are reminiscent of the Tubo Dynasty. The third floor of the main building was once the bedroom reserved for the Dalai Lama. The building's golden peak, with its Han-style upturned eaves, can be seen from any direction in Lhasa city. This temple is a wonderful example of the combination of Han and Tibetan architectural styles.

330
  The temple was gutted and partially destroyed In the 1960s and the bronze statue disappeared. In 1983 the lower part of it was said to have been found in a Lhasa rubbish tip, and the upper half in Beijing. They have now been joined and the statue is housed in the Ramoche Temple, which was partially restored in 1986, and still showed severe damage in 1993.
  In the days of King Songtsan Gampo, Ramoche Temple was originally built to house the famous statue of Sakyamuni, now found in the Jokhang, which was originally brought to Tibet by Princess Wen Cheng. Legend has it that when Princess Wen Cheng and her entourage arrived at the North gate of Lhasa, her carriage got stuck in the mud. Her assistants could not remove the statue and so they covered it temporarily with 4 pillars and white brocade. Later, the Princess ordered the construction of Ramoche as a shrine for the statue. Twenty years later, in 652 A.D., the leader of Tibet was concerned with rumors that the Chinese Emperor was considering an invasion of Tibet. As a protection, he moved the Sakyamuni statue from the Ramoche to the Jokhang, and hid it from view. It had remained there ever since. In exchange Ramoche Temple received a smaller bronze statue of Sakyamuni, which has been brought to Tibet by Songtsan Gampo's other wife, the Nepalese Princess Tritsun.
