Pagoda Hill Pagoda Hill, situated at the west bank of Xiaodongjiang River, and Tunnel Hill belonged to one mountain range a million years ago. The movement of the earth‘s crust divided them into two hills. Pagoda Hill is also called Warship Hill because it looks like a warship going up the river. The local people also refer to it as Lotus Leaf Hill. Pagoda Hill got its name because of the hexagonal Longevity Buddha Pagoda on it. 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. Many maple trees are planted at the foot of the hill. The fiery-red maple leaves of Pagoda Hill are really charming and striking in late autumn. Pagoda Hill and Tunnel Hill are both famous hills in Tunnel Hill Park. Together with Elephant Trunk Hill, they form part of the beautiful Li River Scenes.      Photo Album of Guangxi
