Morning on the Li River begins with a slow, green hush — mist lifting off the water as Elephant Trunk Hill juts from the river like an ancient prow. You stand where the city meets karst: a stone arch framing sky, pagoda, and the regular pulse of boat traffic. A guide points out the Shuiyue Cave and the pagoda’s Ming‑era silhouette as the city wakes.
