Natural Scenery
Nine horses mountain resort
Guilin, China
1-2 hours
About
Situated on the bank of Li River near Xingping Town, Nine-Horse Mural Hill is a giant limestone cliff covered with colorful mineral streaks that form nine horse silhouettes. The riverside shore and viewing paths are free to walk. Tourists can view the hill from shore trails or Li River bamboo rafts/cruise ships. Local legends say those who spot all nine horses will gain good fortune. There are small paid sightseeing platforms close to the cliff for clearer close-up shots.
Travel Tips
- Visitors aged 65 and above enjoy free entry to the viewing platform with original ID cards.
- Riverbank stone roads turn slippery after rain; wear non-slip flat shoes.
- Do not climb steep cliff slopes for better views to prevent falls.
- Do not carve or mark the natural painted rock face to protect the geological landscape.
- Keep valuables sealed in waterproof bags if viewing from bamboo rafts to avoid splashing water.
- Do not litter along the Li River shore to protect water ecology.
