Folded Brocade Hill (Diecai Hill)
Among the famous karst landscapes of Guilin city, four remarkable hills stand out: Folded Brocade Hill (Diecai Hill), Solitary Beauty Peak, Fubo Hill, and Elephant Trunk Hill. Each hill offers unique scenery, but Folded Brocade Hill is one of the best places to enjoy a panoramic view of Guilin’s stunning landscape.
Also known as Piled Silk Hill, Folded Brocade Hill gets its name from the distinctive layers of rock formations that resemble beautifully folded brocade or silk fabric. From the summit, visitors can enjoy spectacular views of the Li River, Mulong River, Fubo Hill, Solitary Beauty Peak, and the surrounding cityscape. With its convenient location and reasonable entrance fee, it is a popular attraction for travelers exploring Guilin.
Location of Folded Brocade Hill
Folded Brocade Hill is located approximately 2.5 kilometers north of Rong Lake and Zhengyang Pedestrian Street in central Guilin. Visitors can reach the hill by walking for about 30 minutes along Zhongshan Road or Binjiang Road, enjoying the riverside scenery along the way.
At the entrance, visitors can purchase tickets and begin their journey through the scenic area. The route passes by the Chicken Blood Jade Museum and several small shops selling local souvenirs and handicrafts before reaching the hiking trails at the foot of the hill.
Hiking Routes and Scenic Peaks
Folded Brocade Hill features several peaks, including:
* Yuyue Peak
* All-Direction-Looking Peak (Siwang Peak)
* Crane Peak (Xianhe Peak)
* Bright Moon Peak (Mingyue Peak)
Among them, Bright Moon Peak is the highest and the most popular viewpoint. Rising about 223 meters above sea level, with a relative height of approximately 73 meters from the base, it provides an excellent location for enjoying Guilin’s famous karst scenery.
The hike to the summit usually takes around 20 minutes. Although the trail is not extremely difficult, visitors should prepare for a series of stone steps leading upward. Travelers can take breaks along the way and enjoy the changing views of the city and surrounding mountains.
Why Visit Folded Brocade Hill?
Folded Brocade Hill offers one of the most impressive viewpoints in Guilin, combining natural beauty, karst geology, and easy accessibility. Compared with some other viewpoints in the city, it provides a quieter atmosphere while still offering breathtaking views of Guilin’s iconic mountains and rivers.
For travelers looking to experience the essence of Guilin’s karst landscape without traveling far from the city center, Folded Brocade Hill is a must-visit attraction.
