[2024 Yangshuo Attraction] Travel Guide for Moon Hill (Updated Dec)

A view of the Karst Mountains from Moon Hill

#tripblazers #mountainescape #yangshuo With around 1000 stone steps (and a sneaky scramble under a railing), the trek to the top of moon hill is no easy feat, especially in the humidity of summer, but the view from the top of this natural phenomenon is well worth the walk. Situated in Yangshuo, moon hill has been long noted for its imposing beauty. Have a chat to the local women selling water whilst you are there!

Moon Hill, Yangshuo. Check it out!

Moon Hill is one of the iconic sites to visit in and around Yangshuo. Its a relatively easy climb to the top and rewards you with magnificent views of the area! The best way to get there is by hiring a bike or an ebike. Ive done both and would recommend ebike if it’s summer time - Yangshuo can get seriously hot so the quicker the better if you ask me! But in spring or autumn a push bike is the probably the more enjoyable way to get there. You need to pay a small fee at the ticket office based at the bottom of the hill and there are places to buy snakes there too. At the top there are 3 amazing older women who climb the hill every day with a box of drinks that you can buy. Have a chat with them if you can, they’re awesome!

Yangshuo

A fun little day around Yangshuo. I first headed for Ruyi Peak which turned out to be a bit disappointing. The cablecar was fun but you couldn’t escape the sound of traffic. I had more fun at Moon Hill! It was very peaceful and quiet. I walked down the road and ended the day at Gold Water Cave. It had some great formations but was a pretty short tour.

Moon Hill 🌙

There are many sites to photograph the famous Moon Hill from a distance, however, if you don't mind a hike, the view from the top is well worth it! Be prepared, it's not a long hike but it is very steep, so make sure you wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Cost: 12rmb for an adult

Moon Hill 🌙

Short trike ride from Yangshuo town, approximately 5 miles, there lies this magnificent natural beauty called MOON HILL. Its a limestone peak that is so visible even of you are 5km away. It is considered one of the highlights of Yangshuo country side. From the hundreds of karsts of mountain surrounding Yangshuo, this one is the most recognizable. A moon-shape hole, naturally curved. There's a trail going up the hill called "Nixon trail", named after the former US President Richard Nixon. As he and his wife climbed the hill in 1972 according to history. There is an entrance fee of 60rmb. The facade is really nice for a lot of couples did their pre-nuptials photos at the bottom of the hill, and the Moon Hill as their background. #Thanksgiving #decembertravel #nationalpark #unforgetabletrip #momentsmission

I came to Yangshuo too late, the rice has been harvested... but it's still beautiful!

🍂 Finally, I arrived at the long-awaited [Yangshuo Gardenia]. Although the rice has been harvested, the scenery is still breathtaking! Each season has its own unique beauty. The empty rice fields have a special charm. The distant mountains, green grass, and the fragrant coffee in my hand form a stunning picture.🖼️ ☕️ Sitting on the ridge, with my feet gently stepping on the soft soil, the rustling sound of the breeze in my ears, and a steaming cup of coffee in my hand, time seems to stand still. The big pink rabbit and the green train "departing" from Yangshuo add to the tranquility and beauty, making me even more enchanted. The desserts here are exquisite, I ordered a small cake, chicken wings, and milk pudding. They seem to blend into the landscape painting. Yangshuo, you always bring me unexpected surprises!

Moon Hill

Another view point in Yangshuo which might be interesting for curious people and short hiking lovers. Doubting if it is necessary to go there purposely, but if you passing by and have 1-2 hours of free time , go ahead and check it out ⛰🙏🏻 #yangshuo #guilin #moon #hill #mountain

After the bamboo boat rafting, riding forward, I came to the Moon Hill. Moon Mountain is a wonderland in Yangshuo, and it is also the end of the Shili Gallery. After reaching here, you can ride back all the way. Moon Mountain has a large hole running through the top of the mountain. It looks like a round of moon, high and bright and named. This natural large stone arch is connected on both sides. It seems like heaven and a moon hanging from a distance. From different angles, the shape of the hole is constantly changing. It will vary from the first quarter of the bend to the half-moon and then the full moon, and then changes again. It is a wonderful place to visit.
