Moon Hill

Put it into the Shili Gallery cycling route

Moon Hill works best as a stop on the southern part of Shili Gallery. From Yangshuo town, ride an e-bike or bicycle there, and you can also pass the Grand Banyan Tree, Gongnong Bridge, and countryside scenery along the way.

View it from outside first, then decide whether to climb

The main feature of Moon Hill is the natural round opening in the mountain. From different angles, it can look like a crescent, full moon, or waning moon. Licun, roadside viewpoints, and rest areas across from the hill all give a good overall view.

Treat the climb as an add-on if conditions are good

If the path is open that day and the weather is not too hot, you can buy a ticket and take the stone steps up to see the moon-shaped opening and nearby countryside. There are quite a few steps, and summer midday heat can be harsh.

Avoid the midday heat

Morning and late afternoon have softer light and are more comfortable for cycling. At noon, the road surface is hot, there is less shade, and both photos and steps feel more tiring.
