Moon Hill (Yueliang Shan) is perhaps the best known and most recognizable of Yangshuo’s limestone formations. Named for the moon-shaped hole in the top of the karst, Moon Hill rises over 250 feet (76.2 meters) above the surrounding countryside. On a clear day, you can watch as clouds meander across the sky through the 164-foot (50-meter) tall moon hole.

Those willing to climb the 800 marble steps to the top of Moon Hill will be rewarded with one of the most spectacular views in the province. For travelers seeking an adrenaline rush, there are 23 routes to the summit and the karst and rock climbing enthusiasts will find everything from vertical climbs to serious overhangs on the way to the top.

Moon Hill is best visited in the late afternoon after the majority of Chinese tourists have come and gone and the hawkers have quieted down. If you’re feeling extra energetic, rent a bicycle and cycle there and back through the local villages.
