柳州市奇石园管理处位于柳州市屏山大道 343 号,占地面积 4.28 公顷,是一个以地方奇石为主体,由石起意,以石造景,因石得名,广西乃至全国最大的奇石专类园。其依山傍水的主体建筑“八桂奇石馆”常年对外展示柳州 60 余种、约 5 千件自然天成的奇石佳作,令人叹为观止;碧波荡漾的游泳场是消暑的好去处;还有星罗棋布的景石、婆娑的亚热带植物、沧桑的百年古榕……
唐柳宗元《柳州山水近治可游者记》所记“南有山,正方而崇,类屏者曰屏山”,这屏山,指的就是。 159.40 米,环麓 300 米,山体为石灰岩质,山势呈南北走向、形似屏风,此山虽不算高,因是孤峰,且为箭盘湖所环绕,却也显得十分峻峭、挺拔。相传古代武官们在山下比武射箭,曾以此山为靶,故古今留名。 如今山下建有拱桥、水榭、景亭颇有意境;半山处一溶洞空阔高朗、横贯东西,长约 30 米,洞中光线充足,轻风爽气宜人;特别是这里附丽宋名将杨文广帅军惩罚交趾军的民间传说,更使溶洞平添历史沧桑之感,沿山道攀援将经过一段几乎直上直下的“天梯”,即登临山巅。临崖览胜,北眺柳江至西北蜿蜒而来,向东北飘延而去,“南环而宽,北夹而束,有壶之形焉”;东指马鹿、驾鹤、蟠龙、东台诸山,西瞻鹅山、文笔、立鱼、马鞍群峰,逶迤起伏、错落嵯峨,古八景之“天马腾空”、“笔峰耸翠”、“东台返照”、“驾鹤晴岚”诸景历历在目。
“柳州奇石甲天下”,奇石园管理处拥有隽秀的山,清新的景,高雅的石,为你敞开着琳琅满目观石、品石、赏石之门,诚盼着“以石为媒”与朋友们一道知石、论石、爱石、护石,共结石缘。
