What are the three characteristics of Guilin's landscape?

Guilin's landscape has four characteristics: green hills, beautiful waters, strange caves and beautiful stones.

Guilin is located in the northeast of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, at the southern end of Gui Xiang Corridor. Hunan province borders on the east and north. The Xiang-Gui Railway runs through the Lijiang River, and the Gui-Guang High-speed Railway runs through the whole territory. There are three national highways: 32 1, 322 and 323. East longitude109 36' to1129', north latitude 2415' to 26 23', with an average altitude of150m. The north and northeast border on Hunan Province, and the west and southwest border on Hunan Province. Guilin is a world-famous scenic city with unparalleled karst landforms.

The mountains here are pulled up from the ground in various ways; The water of Lijiang River is winding and clear as a mirror. There are many caves in the mountains, and the caves are picturesque; The grotesque rocks in the cave are beautiful, so it has formed the "Four Wonders of Guilin" with "beautiful mountains and beautiful waters and strange caves", which has been known as "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" since ancient times.

(1) Lion Mountain-a strange peak rising from the surrounding ground.

The landform of Shilin Mountain is characterized by a series of rocky mountains rising from the ground and four steep slopes. The rocky mountain is steep around, because the limestone body is mostly dissolved and becomes a downward passage, so the rocky slope surface is mainly collapsed. On the contrary, there is no scattered flow and rainstorm flow on the rocky slope surface, which is caused by running water scouring the slope surface from acute angle to gentle slope. On the contrary, the foothills are mostly places where surface water seeps into the ground. Therefore, there are many streams, rivers and gullies around the Rocky Mountain, which makes the foot of the Rocky Mountain become an erosion and dissolution area. The lateral erosion of rivers and the formation of sinkholes will make the rocky mountain slope change from gentle to steep.

(2) The "foot hole" in the Rocky Mountain, each mountain has a hole.

The topographical feature of Shilin Stone Mountain is that "every mountain has holes", and there is more than one. For example, Qixingyan in Guilin has five holes. But the strangest thing is the "foot hole". Foot hole is a cave formed at the foot of a rocky mountain, hence the name "foot hole". Its topographic features develop along the surface of groundwater. Therefore, there is generally a huge cave system inside the foot hole.
