塔山清影 "Reflection of the Hill on the Water" is one of the Eight Classic Scenes of Guilin.
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). On the north wall of the pagoda, a statue of Longevity
Buddha (Amitabha Buddha) was encased - hence its name.
