Moon Hill - Transfer & Transportation Guides

Moon Hill (Chinese: 月亮山; pinyin: Yuèliàng Shān; lit.: 'Moonlight Mountain') is a hill with a natural arch through it a few kilometers outside Yangshuo in southern China's Guangxi autonomous region. Moon Hill is part of the Guilin Mountains. It is so named for a wide, semicircular hole through the hill, all that remains of what was once a limestone cave formed in the phreatic zone. Like most formations in the region, it is karst. It is also a popular tourist attraction. It takes roughly 20 minutes to climb up to the arch (about 800 steps), or considerably longer for those who wish to reach the summit. Visitors must pay an entrance fee in order to climb the hill. Souvenir and refreshment vendors often follow climbers up and down the path. In addition to a concrete tourist path which passes through the arch, and a somewhat rougher, steeper path leading to the summit above the arch, Moon Hill has several rock climbing routes and it has also been used for abseils in several adventure races. Moon Hill offers broad panoramic views of the surrounding countryside which is characterized by the knobby karst hills found throughout the region. .... Learn more at Wikipedia
