Miri has Horse Drinking Water at Tusan Beach while Guilin has Elephant Trunk Hill.
Our tour guide told us the legend of the Elephant Trunk Hill.
It is said that the Elephant Turnk Hill is the embodiment of a God Elephant who was loved by the Emperor of Heaven. The emperor would ride him every where he went. But during a war, the Elephant was separated from the Emperor and was stranded in Guilin. He had suffered severe wounds.
A couple saved him and the elephant fell in love with the beauty of Guilin and decided not to return to heaven. The Emperor of Heaven understood him and bestowed a pagoda to help it suppress evils and protect the people. Ever since then, the Elephant never left Guilin and it became the Elephant Trunk Hill.
The Puxian Pagoda is said to be the one bestowed by the Emperor of Heaven.
