Moon Hill

Moon Hill, a few kilometres outside Yangshuo, is a karst hill with a wide, semicircular arch right through it. The climb to the arch is about 1000 steps and takes roughly 20 minutes; the summit takes longer. From the top there are broad panoramic views over the countryside. Moon Hill also has rock climbing routes, many of them pioneered by the American climber Todd Skinner in the 1990s, and a two-year climbing ban was lifted in 2019. Visitors pay an entrance fee.
