When is the best time to visit?
Generally speaking, the elephant trunk hill is suitable for sightseeing all year round, but the best time to visit is April to October, because the natural scenery is charming and beautiful and the weather is pleasant during these months. And the best time of a day to visit here is the early morning and night, because visitors can appreciate the scenery in the misty rain that is a representative scene of Li river, especially in Spring. When the night falls down, visitors can see the wonderful view called “water moon of the elephant trunk hill” under the moonlight.
Tips: Visitors had better avoid the official holiday in China, because many Chinese citizens choose to travel on official holidays to ease the pressure of their work.
