Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking along the Li River toward Elephant Trunk Hill with layered karst towers rising in the distance, showing bamboo fronds and narrow river rafts in the foreground, the calm emerald river, Elephant Trunk arch, and riverside willows in the middle-ground, and the surreal vertical karst peaks fading into the misty sky in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the lush jade-green waters of the Li River, bamboo groves along the riverbanks, and vegetation clinging to vertical karst cliffs.
