Location & Access

Camel Hill sits inside the Seven Star Park in Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The park is easy to reach—just take Bus 10, 11, or 18 to the “Seven Star Park” stop, or hop in a taxi to Qixing Road 1. If you’re staying downtown, it’s a short ride away.

Natural Wonders: A Living Sculpture

Camel Hill isn’t just a random hill—it’s nature’s masterpiece! This rocky formation looks exactly like a camel lying down, with its head, hump, and body perfectly shaped by millions of years of wind and rain. But wait, there’s a twist: from another angle, it also resembles an ancient wine pot! That’s why locals used to call it “Pot Mountain.” The rock even has a “spout” that looks like a teacup, with the word “Po Shan” (Pot Mountain) carved beside it.

At dawn or sunset, the sunlight paints Camel Hill in shades of orange and pink, creating a stunning “camel sunset” effect. In spring, pink peach trees bloom around the hill, making it look like a fairytale.

Cultural Stories & Hidden Gems

Did you know Camel Hill has a famous fan club? Back in 1998, U.S. President Bill Clinton visited nearby and gave a speech about environmental protection. While fanning himself with a Guilin folding fan, he joked that it was his “energy-saving air conditioner”—a quip that still makes locals smile!

Near the hill, you’ll find the grave of Lei Jiuren, a poet from the Ming Dynasty. It’s a quiet spot to learn about Guilin’s history.

Practical Tips: What to Bring

The park is huge, so wear comfy shoes! There are shaded rest areas, souvenir shops, and stalls selling snacks like Guilin rice cakes. For the best photos, visit early morning or late afternoon. If you’re traveling with kids, the park has playgrounds and ponds to explore.

Off the Beaten Path

Want to avoid crowds? Most tourists rush to the camel-shaped view, but wander a bit and you’ll find hidden paths with fewer people. Locals love sitting near the hill to chat, sing, or practice tai chi—join them for a real Guilin vibe!
