Shutong Hill
Shutong Hill is located on the East Bank of the Li River just a little further down from Yangshuo Bridge. It is 10 meters high stretches out in a slot on the north hillside, the smallest peak along the bank of the Li River.
Famous legend about the Shutong hill- long long ago, there lived a evil dragon in the Li River and endangered the local people. A wise teacher was said to have possessed an ancient sealed book giving instructions on how to defeat the dragon. He gave this book to a local boy. At last the school boy conquered the dragon ,but for fear that the dragon might play a trick of opossum, the schoolboy, holding the book, stood by the riverside and changed into a hill to protect the local people.
The Hill can easily be reached by bicycle. If you go across Yangshuo Bridge and continue for about 300 metres then look for the turnoff on the right onto a narrow road.
