Yellow Cloth Shoal lies about 60 kilometers away from Guilin city, just
a little farther away from Mural Hill. The cliffs become steeper while
the water becomes wider and calmer. A huge yellow flagstone lying under
the limpid waters can easily be seen. It is like a cloth piece and people
called it Yellow Cloth Shoal. It is the best place to appreciate the reflection
of the peaks.
On
both sides of the shoal, there are seven peaks in various gestures and
sizes arising straight from the river. A legend goes that the seven peaks
are fairy girls from the heaven who took baths in the river. Enthralled
by the charming scene, they stayed here and become into the peaks. With
verdant bamboos, the green peaks under the blue sky reflected on the quiet
waters create
a spectacular scene.
