Duxiu Peak stands in solitary grace in the center of the ancient Jingjiang Princely Mansion. Towering abruptly from the ground with an elevation of 216 meters, it is reputed as Sky-Supporting Pillar in the South. During the Southern dynasty (420-589), some 1500 years ago, Yan Yanzhi, governor of Guilin, wrote the line: "none can surpass this solitary peak in beauty." Hence the name Solitary Beauty Peak.

At the foot of the peak are Dushu (Study) Rock, Taiping (Peace) Rock and Yueya (Crescent) Pond. On the east side of the hill there are many inscriptions from the Qing Dynasty, such as "Southern Sky-supporting Pillar" and "Purple Gown and Golden Belt." A flight of 396 stone steps leads from the west foot of the hill up to the top, where one commands a panoramic view of the whole city and all the mountains surrounding it.

Now, this peak is in Guangxi Normal College, visitors can enter only after 2:00 pm.
