Fragrant seaweed shines brightly, waves enter the tranquil Zhishan Mountain. Rain tests new tea, and tourists compete for it.

In 1974, the newly built three piece antique memorial archway in the park faced the street, with gray colored glaze cornices and antique appearance. The horizontal plaque with the three big characters "Nanxi Mountain" shimmers with golden light, dignified and unique. It is located close to the south side of the gate and is built with modern building materials. The antique long row building Qionglou, with green tiles and white walls, is elegant and harmonious with the scenery of Nanxi, becoming the most beautiful attraction for tourists. At the beginning, there is a stone tablet inscribed by Wang Zhenggong of the Song Dynasty, which reads' GuiLin's scenery is the best in the world '. The park covers an area of 18 hectares, with lush green grass and flower beds scattered throughout. The evergreen bamboo forest, the vigorous autumn maple, the graceful palm trees, the lush cassia trees, banyan trees, magnolias, etc., cover the sky and the sun. The clear and bottomless stream flows from west to east, and Fangzhou has been built in the water, named Jinlian Island, with pavilions and small bridges leading to it. The green stream in the south of the city is the origin of the beautiful name of Nanxi Mountain.
Nanxi Mountain is located at Jiangjun Bridge in the south of the city, about one kilometer away from the railway station, and is named after the winding Nanxi River. It has two peaks, parallel to each other, towering for thousands of feet, with a steep cliff to the north and pure white rocks. After the rain, the sky clears and the clouds and mist begin to bloom. The sunlight shines on the rocks, emitting a dazzling radiance. In ancient times, 'Nanxi Xinji' was one of the eight scenic spots in GuiLin. There are many unique caves in Nanxi Mountain, with Bailong Cave to the north being the most famous. Its entrance is high and wide, like a tall stone house, with white stone walls and a stone breast hanging down, resembling a dragon head, so it is called White Dragon Cave. Inside the cave, there are wonders such as Double Lion Stones, stalagmites welcoming spring, and white dragons spitting out pearls. Turn right out of Bailong Cave and you will arrive at Xuanyan, a colorful gallery composed of stalactites. This hole is divided into two sections. One can reach through the Yunyan Cave, which has a relatively short rock passage and is often traversed by clouds and mist. There are many precious stone carvings at the entrance of the cave. The left path leads to Guanyin Rock, which is named after a group of stalactites at the entrance that resemble Guanyin Bodhisattva. It has become one of the prayer sites for local residents in GuiLin.

Its stream flows eastward into the Li River." "The stream is located in the south of the county and is called Nanxi," and "the mountain is named after the stream," hence the name Nanxi Mountain. Due to the presence of the White Dragon Cave on the mountain, it is named White Dragon Mountain. The Nanxi River surrounds the northern foothills and flows into the Li River. After the rain, Nanxi Mountain is now sunny, with clouds and mist beginning to disperse. The bright sun shines brightly, dazzling the eyes. In the 17th year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1891), Zhu Shude listed "Nanxi Xinji" as one of the eight scenic spots in GuiLin, and wrote a poem praising it: "Rising the steep Nanxi Mountain, in what year did a fairyland emerge? Longyan is pregnant with jade springs, the deep stream shadows are blue. Fragrant seaweed reflects the radiance, and the waves enter the stillness of Zhishan Mountain. Rain sets to test new tea, and tourists compete for it." GuiLin's mountains and rocks are mostly blue and black in color, except for Nanxi Mountain where the east and west peaks stand side by side, the rocks are white, the cliffs stand in the sky, steep and steep, pregnant with green and smoke, and the colors of the blue rush to people, like two white screens standing in the south of GuiLin. Nanxi Yuping "is one of the new 24 scenic spots in GuiLin.

The main pavilion is an eight pillar, single eave, rectangular with upturned corners, with pavilions on both sides and stone peaks on each side. The total area is 83 square meters, which is elegant and beautiful. The pavilion is the only way up the mountain. To the north of the pavilion, one can admire the city scenery and overlook the stream. To the south of the pavilion, one can find the peaks of Douji (Guishan). To the east of the pavilion, the Li River flows southward. To the west of the pavilion, the peak is high and connects with Yunhan, making it an indispensable place to climb the Nanxi River. There are nearly 200 cliff carvings in Nanxi Mountain, mostly distributed in places such as Bailongdong, Yuanyan, Sizhouyan, Liuxianyan, Chuanyunyan, etc. Zhao Kui, a Song Dynasty poet, vividly depicted the caves in the mountains of GuiLin in his song "Twenty Four Caves in GuiLin". The "Lingui County Annals" states that Nanxi Mountain is a place that was appreciated by Li Bo during the Tang Dynasty. When Li Bo was appointed as the Governor of Guizhou, he once developed Nanxi Mountain with deep affection. When Ren Man returned to Luoyang, he specially wrote the poem "Leaving Nanxi": "I often sigh that the spring spring will not return, and it is even more difficult for me to come here now. If I want to know where to show mercy after parting, I will plant rock flowers one after another." This poem was carved in the White Dragon Cave and recited by people.
