Duxiu Peak, Limestone peak in Xiufeng district, Guilin, China

Duxiu Peak is a 66-meter limestone formation rising above Guilin's city center, with direct views toward the Li River and surrounding mountains. The site features multiple pavilions and pathways that lead visitors to different observation points.

The peak stands inside the Jingjiang Prince's Palace, built in the Ming Dynasty as the residence of the Jingjiang princes. Tang-era and Song-era buildings at its foot, including a school and the Tieniu Temple, no longer survive. The cliff carvings were listed as a Guilin cultural relic in 1966, as a Guangxi relic in 1994, and in 2001 as part of the Guilin Rock Carvings, a national key cultural relic.

The name comes from a line by the Southern Dynasties poet Yan Yanzhi, who wrote that no peak matched this one standing tall among the city walls; it is also called Zijin Shan for its purple-gold look. Yan Yanzhi is said to have studied in Dushu Yan, the Reading Cave on the east foot, beside which lies the crescent-shaped Yueya Chi and the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Tower.

Access to the summit involves climbing 306 stone steps with rest areas along the way to catch your breath. Once at the top, viewing platforms offer panoramic views across the city and surrounding waterways.

The phrase "Guilin's scenery is the finest under heaven" (桂林山水甲天下) first appears in a stone inscription at the mouth of Dushu Cave on the peak's eastern foot: the Luming Banquet poem by Wang Zhenggong (1133–1203). The cliff face also carries carvings from ancient times to the Republic of China era, protected as part of the Guilin Rock Inscriptions since 2001.
