Pagoda Hill In Guilin

Pagoda Hill is also called Warship Hill ,it is located in the southern suburbs of Guilin on the western bank of The Li River and is in Chuanshan Park. Pagoda Hill is located in the southern suburb of Guilin. It's named after the seven-story, hexagonal solid pagoda, which was built during the Tang Dynasty. It is also known as Worship Hill because of its unique shape.


The seven-storey brick pagoda was built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). It is a multi-eave pagoda and its plane is trapezoidal. On the north wall of the pagoda, a statue of Longevity Buddha (Amidabha Buddha) was encased - hence its name. The reflection of the hill in the water is one of the New Twenty-four Scenes of Guilin.
