Nature has created many legendary natural landscapes, such as mountains and rivers.
Several mountains around the world resemble elephants in shape and appearance. Here is a look at some of the world's most famous elephant trunk mountains to see which one is more similar.
1. Elephant Trunk Mountain in Guilin, China
In Guilin, Guangxi, there is a mountain that looks like an elephant standing by the Li River with its long trunk drinking water.
It is called Li Mountain, but Elephant Trunk Mountain is another name more widely known. Elephant Trunk Mountain has become a landmark attraction in Guilin's landscape, with its magical elephant shapes and natural scenery, such as the "Elephant Mountain Water Moon" constructed between the trunk and the legs, attracting countless tourists.
2. Elephant Trunk Mountain, Longhushan, Jiangxi Province, China
In the Long Hu Mountain Geopark in Jiangxi Province, China, there is a natural landscape that resembles an elephant's trunk sucking water.
It is a long-term result of rainwater erosion and weathering, resulting in the collapse of the remnants of the stone beam through the hole. About 100 meters high, there is a stone beam hanging down in the air, and the whole mountain is like a giant stone elephant drawing water.
The huge trunk of the elephant seems to descend from the sky and is deeply rooted in the earth. It is so exquisite and spiritual that it is called "the first divine elephant in the world" by the world.
3. Tiezhai Elephant Trunk Mountain, Dawu, Hubei, China
In Dawu County, Hubei Province, Tiezhai Tourist Scenic Area, karst landforms have created many strange mountains and rocks.
There is a small mountain that looks like a lying elephant with tears from afar, and people have given it the image and poetic name of "Divine Elephant with Tears". This elephant trunk mountain is different from other places because it is not only similar in shape but also more spiritual.
There is a local legend that the Elephant Trunk Hill was transformed by the Heavenly Dog that bit Lü Dong Bing. After realizing that he had wronged a good man, the dog was so ashamed that he transformed himself into an elephant and hid himself away in order not to be discovered.
4. Elephant Trunk Mountain, Heimaey Island, Iceland
It is a small island formed by a volcanic eruption on the bottom of the sea. For thousands of years, under the carving of nature, an elephant-like rock was formed on the cliff of the island.
The long "trunk" stretches into the sea as if it is drinking from the Atlantic Ocean, and the folds on this huge basalt rock also fit perfectly with the elephant's skin, making the picture more vivid and realistic. The skin details are more vivid and realistic, more like a mammoth.
The skin details are more vivid and realistic, more like a mammoth. It is often called the Elephant Trunk Coast because of the unique shape of the cliffs. The clear water is light green with white waves.
The shallow crescent-shaped bay is flanked on both sides by tall chalk overhangs, and the cliffs hang alone over the sea, with seawater erosion forming an arch-like an elephant's trunk into the sea, from which Elephant Trunk Hill gets its name.
