Fubo Hill (also known as Fubo Shan, or Wave-Subduing Hill) is a historic hill rising from the banks of the Li River in Guilin, in China's Guangxi Autonomous Region. It sits within Xiufeng District, at 2 Binjiang Road, making it a convenient stop for anyone exploring the city by the river.
What to expect

Visitors can see ancient carvings, climb past temples, and take in panoramic views over the city and the river below. It is best suited to those who enjoy walking, looking at historic sites, and seeing a city from above.
Its name
The hill takes its name from General Ma Fubo of the Han Dynasty, and the alternative name Wave-Subduing Hill refers to its position beside the flowing water of the Li River. Knowing this background can add meaning to the carvings and temples as you walk through the site.
