Fodor's Review:

A very popular destination, Elephant Trunk Hill (Xiangbi Shan) once appeared on Chinese currency bills. On the banks of the river in the southern part of the city, it takes its name from a rock formation arching into the river like the trunk of an elephant. Nearby is a grotto covered in poetic inscriptions inspired by the beauty of the place, some by the greatest poets of the Song Dynasty.
