大世界基尼斯之最”
位于桂林市区内，漓江东岸, 距桂林火车站仅5分钟车程,占地面积约2平方公里，是桂林市山水旖旎的公园之一。穿山隔着漓江与
象鼻山相望，与
江西岸的
龟山，形如两只相斗的公鸡，合称
斗鸡山。穿山前有
塔山，山顶有明代寿佛塔。小
东江在两山之间蜿蜒流过，山倒影江中，景色尤佳。穿山有月岩、穿岩。月岩位于山腰，洞穿山壁，高广空明，宛如月宫仙境，站在洞中南北远眺，但见漓水蜿蜒，风光无限。穿岩位于山底，长500余米，洞内除石钟乳外，尚有罕见的透明结晶体--石枝、鹅管等，为岩溶地貌奇景。穿岩是桂林近年开放的第三个大型溶洞。
穿山在市区东南、七星区西南的小东江东岸，海拔224米，相对高度94米，面积25.25公顷。穿山5峰逶迤，状若雄鸡，西东为首尾，南北为两翼，
中峰为背，
西峰上的月岩，恰是鸡的眼睛，与隔江的龟山，犹两鸡相斗，栩栩如生，合称"斗鸡山"。明孔镛有"巧石如鸡欲斗时，昂冠相距水东西。红罗缠颈何曾见，老杀青山不敢啼"之句。又5峰耸立，形如笔架，亦有"笔架山"之谓。西峰上有洞，分上下两层，下层南北贯通，高9米，宽13.3米，长31米，如当空皓月，宋称月岩，或题为"空明"，故又有空明山之名。明俞安期诗云:"穿石映圆辉，明明月轮上，树影挂横斜，还如桂枝长。"
穿山之东有宝塔山。远在100万年前，两山原为一体，地球造山运动把二者分离了。如今，小东江在两山间缓缓南流，像一条带子仍然把它们紧紧系在一起。初升的旭日，以金辉洒布穿山、塔山和象山之上，构成"三山晨曦"诗境，给一日之计以无限活力。
