## About Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas Cultural Park

The Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas are billed as the world’s number one bronze pagoda. They stand on the central axis of Guilin city, next to the Water Moon at Elephant Trunk Hill (象山水月). The Sun Pagoda is made of bronze, stands 41 metres tall and has nine storeys; you can take the lift to the top for a view over the city. The Moon Pagoda is a glazed tower, 35 metres tall with seven storeys, where visitors can pay their respects to the Old Man under the Moon, the god of matchmaking. The twin pagodas also hold a hidden wonder: a bridge beneath the lake’s surface between them. Today, the site has become one of Guilin’s most beautiful night-time viewing spots.

## Tips from the guidebook

- The viewing platform opposite the pagodas offers a full view of both towers. Don’t forget your camera.
