Moon Hill is a wonder in Yangshuo. It is located at the end of the Ten-Li Gallery Scenic Belt. It is an arched peak that looks like a bright moon.
The top of the cave is covered with stalactites of various shapes, two of which look like Wu Gang and the Jade Rabbit in the Moon Palace.
The shape of the cave changes constantly when viewed from different angles. Moon Hill is best viewed from a distance. Opposite the scenic area, there is a rest area with many restaurants, which is one of the locations where you can view Moon Hill from a distance.
Due to its unique geological environment, it is also known as a gathering place for rock climbing enthusiasts. The good stone quality and the special difficulty of the arch make it a rare "temple" in the rock climbing world.

Moon Hill is probably the farthest attraction from West Street in the Ten-Li Gallery. I just passed by it without going in. I walked slowly from the side of the road outside and saw different views of the moon from different angles. It is quite distinctive. The Ten-Li Gallery attractions are mainly distributed in the shape of branches on both sides of the main road. If you have enough time, you can spend a day walking around it.
Moon Hill is a wonder in Yangshuo. People call it Moon Hill because there is a big hole on the top of the mountain, which looks like a bright moon, high and bright.
Moon Mountain is on the way to the Ten-Li Gallery. The mountain is really beautiful. Nature is really amazing. It's just a stop to take a look. You can see the whole view of Moon Mountain at the Moon Mountain Viewing Area opposite Moon Mountain!
At the end of the Ten-Li Gallery, the moonlight shines on the cave like a mirror for dressing.
Stalactites and strange rocks on the cliffs make rock climbing to the top a thrilling experience.
The shape of the moon bud will be different when viewed from different positions and distances.
The natural scenery is so beautiful that tourists will never forget it.
It still takes some energy to climb up, but the scenery is great.
Very unique, I didn't go hiking, I just looked at it from a distance at the foot of the mountain
It's a small hill. Climbing up it, you can overlook the beautiful peaks and forests of Yangshuo.
The words are not important, just look at the picture. In fact, I only went to the foot of the mountain and didn't climb it. After all, playing in Yangshuo is a very tiring thing, hahaha, riding a bike is enough.
As the name suggests, it is a mountain that looks like a crescent moon. There are many strange mountains in Guilin, and people with rich imagination can imagine anything.
You can't see anything outside the Moon Mountain Scenic Area, but you can spend a few dollars to enter a private house next to the scenic area, and then you can see the scenery of Moon Mountain from its yard.
Moon Mountain is not very high, and the shape of the cave changes from crescent to round as you climb, so it is still worth the climb.
Moon Mountain is not very high, and people with sufficient physical strength can reach the top in 20 minutes. I went there in the afternoon, and there was nothing on the top. I took a few photos and left.
Basically, I watched it from a distance. At the end of the Ten-Li Gallery Scenic Area, there is an arched mountain peak that looks like a bright moon.
I haven't been there, so I can't tell you how it feels. From a distance it's just so-so.
In Li Village opposite Moon Mountain, you can take pictures of Moon Mountain. Nature is really unique.
In fact, there is a cave on the mountain, which is called Moon Mountain.
In my opinion, the scenery of Moon Hill is not inferior to that of Elephant Trunk Hill, and is even more magical. However, due to transportation and geographical reasons, there are very few tourists, and tour groups are reluctant to bring people here. It is really an unknown paradise, a beautiful scenery that only niche travel enthusiasts can see.
It is about ten kilometers away from Yangshuo city. Ride a motorcycle along the road of Shilihualang. After crossing Gongnong Bridge, walk along the road on the left for more than two kilometers. After passing the Big Banyan Tree Scenic Area and Jinshuiyan, you can reach the ticket office of the Moon Mountain Scenic Area. To be honest, this is the most rudimentary ticket office I have ever seen, haha
Although the ticket to Moon Mountain is only 10 RMB, I don't recommend buying it. Because you can't see much scenery after you go up the mountain. The best way to see Moon Mountain is to look at it from a distance. The mountain is only more than 380 meters high. You can walk into the Moon Mountain Villa next to it to see the whole mountain from the front.
We took a photo from a distance and then left. It is said that it takes more than an hour to climb the mountain. For such scenic spots, it is better to view them from a distance than from close up.
My travel notes on Guilin/Yangshuo/Longji Terraces: http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/10065982.html
Moon Mountain is at the end of the Ten-Li Gallery. The ticket to enter the Moon Mountain Scenic Area is 50 yuan. I didn’t want to climb the mountain, I just wanted to take a photo of Moon Mountain outside the scenic spot. As a result, I walked around the periphery of the scenic area and found speechlessly that all the angles around where I could see Moon Mountain were planted with dense bamboos.
In the picture below, there is a small piece of bamboo that has been pulled apart, and you can barely see a little bit of Moon Mountain.
Because we were chartering a car, one day when the driver passed the other side of Moon Mountain, he stopped the car to let us take pictures, so we were able to take pictures of the whole Moon Mountain.
We sat in the car and headed towards Moon Hill. As the car moved, the circle in the middle of the mountain looked like a bright moon slowly setting. It was very picturesque. From different angles, the shape of Moon Hill also changed, which was very interesting.
Another scenic spot is called Moon Hill. There is an open hole on the top of the mountain. The shape of the hole changes with the angle of observation of tourists. It can show the shape of a full moon, a crescent moon, and a new moon, hence the name.
Moon Hill is a relatively unique spot, but I didn’t go up there.
To appreciate Moon Mountain, besides going up the mountain, you can go to Moon Viewing Village and Moon Viewing Road on the opposite side of the mountain. However, there are many paid photo booths everywhere, the road is bumpy, and there are old ladies chasing tourists to sell small accessories. I couldn't stay there, so I took a photo and left.
It is not too high and you can climb it. There is a hole on the top of the mountain that looks like the moon, so it is named Moon Mountain.
You can go up there, but if you look at it from the Ten-Li Gallery Road, the view is not very good, so it is better to take pictures on the X827 Road.
If you need to climb up, the ticket is 15 yuan and it takes about 1 hour. There is a road next to Moon Mountain to Qinglong Bridge.
Moon Hill is a wonder in Yangshuo. It is located near Fenglou Village, Gaotian Township, and is over 380 meters high. Because there is a large hole on the top of the mountain, which looks like a bright moon, people call it Mingyue Peak, commonly known as Moon Hill. I didn't go up there, but I saw this cave landscape that resembled the moon from a distance below.
There is nothing special about this Moon Mountain. It was very famous at that time. You can go and have a look.
Climbing in the rain is very tiring. The mountain road is relatively long and there are fewer scenery along the way. The most beautiful scenery is at the top of the mountain, with its peculiar arched mountain and a view of the mountains in the distance.
Great place, although the road downhill is slippery, you need to be very careful
There is a mountain with a round cave on the top, called Moon Mountain. We took a look at it from the car.
Just look at it from the roadside, and you can see Moon Mountain from a certain angle. The restaurant next to it is expensive and the food is not good.
The scenery of Moon Mountain is not as good as that of Laozhai Mountain, but it is easier to climb.
This attraction is the last attraction in Shilihualang. The entrance is quite old and the mountain is quite high. The scenery after reaching the top is very good. There are many foreigners climbing the mountain. After reaching the top, there are two old ladies selling drinks. They can speak English, which surprised me. Student tickets are 7 yuan.
I don't really remember how I got to Moon Hill, but I have photos to prove it. I can only say it was pretty good.
You can see this view when riding along the Ten-Li Gallery.
The naturally formed cave is more interesting when viewed from a distance, and it only takes about 20 minutes to climb up the mountain.
There is a hiking trail on Moon Mountain that leads to the "Moon". The "Moon Palace" has stalactites shaped like Chang'e and Jade Rabbit. There is also a unique natural rock climbing field on the mountain. The sun is scorching, and my legs are burning hot when I sit in the battery car. Just watch this scene from a distance. It looks like there is a natural big stone arch on the mountain, which is connected on both sides, just like the bright moon hanging high in the sky. There are no people climbing the mountain or rock climbing in the photos I took. I feel that this scene is like the song "Half Moon Climbs Up"!
I never thought this could be considered a tourist attraction, but at least it is natural.
I passed by here when I was with a tour group. It was not open to the public at that time. There was a hole on the mountain that looked like the moon. That's about it.
On the edge of the Yulong River, you can take a look at the roadside
The moon represents my heart.
Time will not grow old, and we will not separate...
Looking at Moon Mountain from afar in Moon Village, there is a unique and hazy beauty...
Personally, I think this place is very ordinary, and it is enough to check in.
Moon Hill is a wonder in Yangshuo. It is located near Fenglou Village, Gaotian Township, and is over 380 meters high. Because there is a large hole on the top of the mountain, which looks like a bright moon, people call it Mingyue Peak, commonly known as Moon Hill.
As the rock walls of Moon Hill are weathered and aged, climbing is now prohibited, which is a pity. The panoramic view of Yangshuo from the top of Moon Hill is amazing.
I took a one-day tour bus and passed by there. I stopped there for a short while but didn't get a close look. From a distance, there was nothing special except a round hole in the mountain that looked like a full moon. There were too many obstacles for taking photos. In short, I felt it was just average.
One of the main attractions on the Ten-mile Gallery. If you have time and love mountain climbing, you can choose to buy a ticket to enter the scenic area to experience the scenery from a different perspective. Looking from the village opposite the Moon Mountain, the mountain is unique, the half-moon hole is naturally formed, and the view is spectacular.
Because I didn't go in, I saw a corner of Moon Mountain from afar. It had a certain flavor, but I don't know what it would look like in the scenic area.
I only saw Moon Mountain from a distance. Due to time constraints, I decided to visit it once.
I took the photo from a distance and didn't look at it up close. I'll take a closer look next time.
After seeing all kinds of strange-shaped mountains and mountains where gods live, this place seems a bit dull.
There is a moon high up in the mountain, but it’s actually nothing to see.
Because of the characteristics of karst landform, Guilin landscape is famous for its pictographic shape, suitable for viewing from a distance. Yangshuo Moon Hill is a typical example, where you can see the waxing and waning of the moon from different angles.
The best thing is to go to the moon-viewing scenic spot in Licun to watch the moon wax and wane.
I took a look from a distance, watching from the car, and I didn't have time to appreciate the different angles and looks.
Passing by the Moon Mountain, I took a photo below. It looks like my photography skills are limited.
Generally, when you come to Moon Hill, you just take a look at it from a distance and it doesn't seem to have much meaning. You can spend about ten minutes looking at the whole scenic spot and taking some photos, and that's it.
It's just so-so. Just a mountain with holes. Nothing special!
The first view you see when you come back from the direction of Yinziyan and pass the Shilihualang, you can just park your car on the side of the road and take a look and take pictures, there is no need to go in
Moon Hill, you only need to look at it from a distance. I always think that the most beautiful scenery is on the road, such as the Hundred Miles of Flower Sea and Windmill Park. This is the real step by step, one scene, one scene, one painting...
Moon Mountain, well, it just has an extra round hole compared to ordinary mountains!
It's pretty, but I can't really take a good picture of it. I just took two pictures and left.
It seems that you can climb it. But it seems that you can't climb it after 5 o'clock? I don't know if I remember it correctly.
There are not many people here, and the ticket price is not expensive. You can park for free after buying the ticket. The environment is also good. If you like hiking, you can go here.
The naturally formed Moon Cave has a pretty good view from the top, but since I've been to the top of Laozhai Mountain, there isn't much scenery. In fact, there's no need to climb up, because you can only see the shape of the cave on the mountain from the bottom, which looks more like the moon.
One of the many scenic spots along the Shili Gallery, just look at it from a distance. You don't need to pay to enter.
This scenic spot is very ordinary, there is nothing special inside, and it is not recommended to enter for viewing. The best viewing point is actually on a large open space at the entrance of the Moon Viewing Village diagonally opposite to the south. It is very easy to find on the side of the road a few steps back. There will be many local villagers who will say they will take you to view it and charge you a lot of fares. In fact, it is just this open space. Look for it yourself and don't be cheated.
It is recommended to go on your own. The scenery is quite good and unique.
There is a Moon Mother on Moon Hill. She is a 70-year-old grandmother who sells water on Moon Hill all year round. She can speak 13 languages and is a local celebrity in Yangshuo. It's a pity that I didn't see her.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at Gongnong Bridge, where I could see boatmen packing up the bamboo rafts and transporting them back to the dock.
The route is roughly Jiuxian - Gongnong Bridge - Shili Hualang - Julongtan - Jinshuiyan - Moon Hill - South Gate of Shili Hualang Scenic Area, and then return from the South Gate of Shili Hualang Scenic Area to Butterfly Spring - Totem Ancient Road - Yangshuo Park.
It is a scenic spot in the Ten-mile Gallery. We just looked at it from the outside and did not go in. The small round hole is the Moon Hill. It takes about 30-40 minutes to ride from Yangshuo County.
It takes about 30 minutes to reach the top. It is not high. Moon Mountain is known as the world's famous mountain, fairy mountain, and sacred mountain. There is an 800-level marble-paved hiking trail on the mountain that leads to the Moon Palace. The Moon Palace is about 50 meters high and wide, with many stalactites in the shape of Chang'e and Yuma, which is consistent with the myth of Guanghan Palace. From different angles of the moon-viewing road at the bottom of the mountain, you can see different shapes such as full moon, half moon, crescent moon, etc. In just a few minutes, you can see the dynamic landscape of the moon's waxing and waning, which can also be regarded as a great wonder of Yangshuo County.
This is the introduction from Baidu. We just climbed up and stayed there for a while before returning the same way. Because we could only return the same way, we didn’t visit many of the places there in detail, so I think it’s better to just buy the tickets and go in!
In fact, what shocked me the most was that the old ladies selling water on the top of the mountain were all in their 70s and 80s. We already had water in our bags, but they kept pestering me to buy it. In the end, I still didn’t buy it, so they scolded us in the local dialect. Later, I saw a foreigner going up and heard them say “Buy water”!!! The old ladies in their 70s and 80s can speak English, and they are really working hard to do business! Then I watched the foreigner buy a bottle of water and leave with a helpless look on his face, because there were several old ladies pestering him to buy water (5 yuan a bottle).
When we arrived at Moon Mountain, the local villagers said that this mountain can be climbed. I looked around and felt that if I climbed the mountain, I should be able to see good scenery, so I started a very difficult climbing journey. It took about an hour to climb the mountain.
On the top of the mountain you can indeed see the typical Yangshuo karst landform, which is a series of high and low hills.
On February 11, 2017, we took a tourist bus to Yinziyan and passed by Shilihualang. We arrived at Moon Mountain. We did not enter the scenic area, but found a free place to overlook Moon Mountain.
Moon Hill is not far from the big banyan tree, and it only takes more than 10 minutes to ride a bike. There is a towering peak on the side of the road, with a large round hole on the top, high and bright, like a full moon hanging high. This is Moon Hill. Walking along the Licun Moon Viewing Road opposite Moon Hill, you can see the shape of the moon changing from crescent moon to full moon to half moon to crescent moon, and the change of angle makes the moon wax and wane, which is also a unique scenery of Yangshuo.
At the end of the Ten-mile Gallery, it is better to see it from a distance than up close, and the unique landforms are also worth appreciating.
Moon Hill is a wonder in Yangshuo. It is located near Fenglou Village, Gaotian Township, and is over 380 meters high. Because there is a large hole on the top of the mountain, which looks like a bright moon, people call it Mingyue Peak, commonly known as Moon Hill. Visitors can follow a mountain trail with more than 800 steps to the Moon Cave. This Moon Cave is incredibly large, 50 meters high and wide, but the mountain wall is only a few meters thick. Moon Hill is the earliest, most attractive and unique natural rock climbing site in Yangshuo.
