Gazing up at Laoren Hill, can you see the old man? Locals believe he wears a hood and mantle, his kind face watching over Guilin. Laoren Hill, also known as Old Man Hill, is one of Guilin’s highest points. It rises proudly beside Gui Lake, just northwest of the bustling downtown area. Guilin people proudly claim, “Guilin scenery is the best in the world.” And Laoren Hill, with its unique shape, contributes to this stunning landscape. Unlike towering mountain ranges, Guilin’s karst hills, including Laoren Hill, possess an unusual, almost artistic beauty. From a southeast vantage point, the resemblance to an elderly figure is striking. Imagine the stories this “old man” could tell, having witnessed centuries of Guilin’s history unfold. While some karst hills like Elephant Trunk Hill and Nine Horse Fresco Hill boast five-star recommendations, Laoren Hill holds a respectable three-star rating. This suggests it’s a worthwhile stop for those who want a taste of Guilin’s diverse scenery. Perhaps you’ll be among the few who venture beyond the most popular attractions and discover the quiet charm of Laoren Hill.
