They made every effort to move the boat out of the shallow, but they failed. What's more, their food was eaten up due to the unexpected delay. At last, they had to climbed up the hilltop in the hope of the passing boats would rescue them. Consequently, their hope was poured into the Li River for no boats passing there. According to this sad legend, the man-like rock on the hilltop was named "Immortal Rock", and the other woman-like one below on the slope was called "Wangfu Rock", which meaning yearning for her husband's go back from far away.

These two unique villages are Crown Cave village and Taoyuan village. They are obstructed by the rock, so the come-and-go between them totally depends on ferryboat. The ferries of these two villages are on the same side of the river, instead of opposite sides. The name of "One-side Ferry" just comes from here.

So people always say that it is difficult to recognize the exact image for each horse because the horses were from the Heaven.

Yellow Cloth Shoal

Yellow Cloth Shoal is about 60 kilometers away from Guilin. It is about 500 meters downstream southward from the Mural Hill. The peaks of it become steeper, and the water wider and calmer, so the reflection of a huge yellow flagstone can be seen clearly on the limpid water. It looks like a yellow cloth wearing there; therefore it goes the name of "Yellow Cloth Shoal". On both sides of the river, there are seven peaks in various gestures and sizes. They look like seven elegant and graceful fairy maids. So they get a beautiful name--Seven Celestial Sisters Coming Down to Earth. There is also a legend about them. Once they are seven fairy maids came from the Heaven. When they visited the Li River, all of them were deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery. When the god asked them to go back to the Heaven, but all of them refused to do that. At last, they turned into seven stone peaks standing along the Li River.
