Also called Shouyang Mountain, Green Lotus Peak stands south of Yangshuo looking like a water-lily bud emerging from the water. It is the most famous hill in Yangshuo. Lotus Peak has many inscriptions on its cliffs of which the 5-meter-long Chinese character “Dai” caved in the Qing dynasty is the most famous. Later generations endowed the character with a meaning “as the river and mountains unfold their greatness before your eyes, young lads, you should work hard to let your name pass down forever.”
