China: Waterfall, Qixing Gongyuan (Seven Star Park), Guilin. Qixing Gongyuan or Seven Star Park gained its name from the position of its seven hills, which suggest the pattern of the Plough (Big Dipper) constellation. The park has been a tourist attraction for more than 1,000 years. The name Guilin means ‘Cassia Woods’ and is named after the osmanthus (cassia) blossoms that bloom throughout the autumn period. Guilin is the scene of China’s most famous landscapes, inspiring thousands of paintings over many centuries. They are often called the ‘finest mountains and rivers under heaven’.
