#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 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!

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.

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

Attraction Information Located in the northeastern part of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Guilin Yangshuo boasts an 83-kilometer stretch of the prime Li River waterway and over 2,000 karst peaks. It has been hailed by National Geographic as one of the "Top 10 Most Beautiful Karst Landscapes in the World." The core scenic area encompasses the section of the Li River from Yangdi to Xingping, the Yulong River, the Ten Mile Gallery, and West Street. The best time to visit is from April to October. Opening Hours: Li River cruise 7:30–17:30, Yulong River bamboo raft 8:00–18:00, West Street open all day 🎫Tickets: Li River three-star cruise ¥215/person, Yulong River two-person bamboo raft ¥160/raft, Ten Mile Gallery cycling free 🚉Transportation: High-speed rail to Yangshuo Station (40 minutes from the county seat), Guilin Liangjiang International Airport transfer to express bus (1.5 hours) Tour Guide Natural Wonders 1. Li River Landscape Gallery The recommended route is the essence section from Yangdi to Nine Horses Fresco Hill and Xingping. The reflection of Yellow Cloth Shoal in the morning mist is the scene depicted on the ¥20 RMB banknote. As the bamboo raft passes "Carp Hanging on the Cliff," the boatman will sing Zhuang welcome songs. The mountain songs and the sound of oars startle egrets into graceful flight. 2. Yulong River Traditional Rafting Experience the wild fun of manually punting a raft through 28 weirs on the 6-kilometer river course from Fuli Bridge to Gongnong Bridge. The "Chongba" section at Jinlong Bridge has a drop of 3 meters. The moment the splashing water wets your clothes, the rustling of the bamboo on both banks sounds like a natural symphony. 3. Karst Exploration The 800 stone steps of Moon Hill lead directly to Moon Cave. At noon, the sunlight penetrates the cave, creating a spectacle of the "waxing and waning of the moon." The "Yaochi Wonderland" stalactites in the Silver Cave change color with the light. It is recommended to enter after 16:00 to avoid tour groups. Cultural Experiences 1. West Street Nightlife Along the Ming and Qing Dynasty bluestone paved road, the aroma of Yangshuo beer fish and Guilin rice noodles mingles with the sound of hand drums. "Master Fu Gold Medal Beer Fish" main restaurant is recommended. It uses Li River spinefish simmered with local Liquan beer, resulting in tender fish with a malty aftertaste. 2. Thousand-Year Totem Code At the "Painting Fan Festival" in Fuli Ancient Town, you can experience fish skin painting. Zhuang grandmothers will teach you how to use Miscanthus grass juice to paint the totem of the "Frog God Holding a Bronze Drum" on the fan. Each line corresponds to the ancient Zhuang rice farming calendar. 📖Historical and Cultural Background Yangshuo's landscape aesthetics can be traced back to the retreat of the ancient Tethys Sea 370 million years ago. Marine sedimentary rocks were eroded by flowing water, forming the karst landscape of "green silk ribbons around a jade hairpin." After Qin Shi Huang opened the Lingqu Canal, this area became an important route from central China to Lingnan. The ruins of Guiyi Ancient City on the banks of the Yulong River still show traces of Tang Dynasty stone sluices. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the prosperity of the "Western Guangdong trading port" gave rise to a unique fishing and farming culture. The custom of "Li River Fishing Fires," where fishermen trained cormorants to fish, continues to this day. The annual Mid-Autumn Festival river lantern ceremony recreates the grand scene of "countless stars falling into the river" described by Xu Xiake. During the Anti-Japanese War, Li Zongren established a command post in Baisha Town. More than 40 existing cliff carvings record the landscape sentiments and patriotic worries of literati and patriots. Experience Review Three Major Thrills 👀Visual Feast: Take a hot air balloon to overlook the sunrise over the peaks. Over 300 solitary peaks appear and disappear in the morning mist, like the freehand brushstrokes of Xu Beihong's "Spring Rain on the Li River." 🍲Taste Sensation: "Liquan 1998" beer brewed with karst spring water paired with stuffed snails. The aroma of purple perilla and the chewy texture of the snail meat create a burst of wild flavors in the mouth. ✋🏻Tactile Memory: Rock climbing the "Half Moon Hanging Wall" route on Moon Hill. Your fingertips touch the rough texture of Jurassic limestone, and dew from the ferns in the crevices drips onto your neck. Avoidance Guide ❗️Avoid ordinary seats for "Impression Sanjie Liu" (the view is blocked by trees). Prioritize VIP seats in area B2. For cycling the Ten Mile Gallery, it is recommended to rent an electric bicycle (¥30/day). Traditional bicycles are strenuous for uphill climbs. 📷Photography enthusiasts can stay at "Huashan Yunshe" in Xingping Ancient Town. The terrace directly faces the panoramic view of Yuanbao Mountain. Travel Notes At the hour of the tiger, the Li River was still immersed in the dark blue light of dawn. I sat alone in the Lao Zhai Shan viewing pavilion. Below, the cruise ships cut through the silk-like river surface, the ripples shattering the reflected peaks into dots of emerald. The moment the fisherman on the opposite bank lit his pipe, the orange spark illuminated the fish hawk on his bamboo raft—these black spirits stood still as sculptures, only spreading their wings to pierce the water's surface at their master's call. As the setting sun dyed the Yulong River amber, I waded barefoot through the shallows of Chaoyang Wharf. The coolness of the river water around my ankles brought to mind the imagery of Shen Congwen's "water, all turquoise, a thousand feet deep." The swaying water plants at the bottom of the river resembled the swirling skirts of Zhuang girls dancing the bronze drum dance. 🌟Hidden Gem: Under the ancient banyan tree behind the Sangu Temple in Fuli Town lies the resting stone where Xu Xiake stopped during his expedition in 1637. The inscription on the stone, "mountains and rivers like a cross-section, heaven and earth as my dwelling," is still clearly visible.

#Mainland Travel This is my first time climbing outdoors. It is very different from indoor climbing. I brought my son to participate this time. Beginners can choose the 5.8 difficulty route at the "Swiss Cheese Rock Field". The coaching fee is 300 yuan including equipment. The photographer will charge an extra 200 yuan for following the filming. The silhouette shots against the sunset are super cool. After climbing, we went to the "Xitang" restaurant to eat beer fish and watch the bamboo rafting on the Yulong River from the terrace.

Cycling in Yangshuo is absolutely amazing! Picture yourself surrounded by picturesque landscapes, and tantalizing cuisine. This experience is simply unbeatable. Without further ado, here's your guide 👇 🗺 Cycling Route Planning There are two main cycling routes. I highly recommend starting from Yangshuo County, and cycling along the Yulong River.

This ancient stone bridge, with its rich history, spans the Yulong River, creating a picturesque scene with the surrounding mountains and rivers. Every photo you take here will be a masterpiece 📸 The other route is the Ten Mile Gallery. This route resembles a natural ink painting, showcasing idyllic countryside scenery. Vast rice paddies sway gently in the breeze, as if time itself has slowed down. 🌅 Must-See Scenic Spots Along the Way Yulong River This is the heart and soul of cycling in Yangshuo. The crystal-clear river water reveals small fish and shrimp swimming below. Cycling along the riverbank, with a gentle breeze and a hint of mist, is incredibly relaxing. Find a spot to stop, and hop on a boat to experience the poetic charm of "drifting on azure waves, immersed in a painted landscape." Ten Mile Gallery This place is like a giant natural park, with a series of unique peaks. Notable attractions include Camel Crossing the River and Moon Hill. From different angles, Moon Hill appears to change shape, creating a magical experience. There are also many pavilions along the way, perfect for resting and enjoying the surrounding scenery. Old County Village (Jiu Xian Cun) This is a well-preserved ancient village, with Ming and Qing Dynasty architecture. The black tiles and white walls exude an antique charm. Stepping into the village feels like traveling back in time. Here, you can experience traditional rural life, and embrace the tranquility and peace. Beyond these famous attractions, the true joy lies in the leisurely cycling experience itself. 🍱 A Culinary Feast Along the Way Yangshuo Beer Fish This is Yangshuo's signature dish, a must-try when you're here! Made with fresh fish from the Li River, simmered in beer, the fish is tender and without any fishy smell. The beer's aroma permeates the fish, creating a rich and unforgettable flavor. You can find authentic beer fish at any riverside restaurant. Guilin Rice Noodles Guilin rice noodles are also readily available in Yangshuo. The smooth and chewy noodles, topped with marinade, barbecued pork, crispy skin, and other ingredients, plus a spoonful of chili oil, create a truly delicious dish. Start your day with a steaming bowl of Guilin rice noodles for a burst of energy. Lipu Taro with Braised Pork This dish is another Yangshuo specialty. The soft and glutinous Lipu taro, steamed with streaky pork, absorbs the meat's richness, becoming even more flavorful. The pork, in turn, loses some of its greasiness. The combination of the two creates a rich and satisfying dish. Various Local Snacks Along the cycling route, you'll find many stalls selling local snacks, such as mugwort cakes and water chestnut cakes. Mugwort cakes have a subtle herbal aroma and a soft, sweet taste, while water chestnut cakes offer a refreshing sweetness and a distinct water chestnut flavor. Both are definitely worth trying. Bike Rental Options Bike Types Electric bikes and regular bicycles are available. Electric bikes are less strenuous, suitable for long-distance cycling. Regular bicycles offer more exercise. Choose based on your fitness level and preference. Rental Locations Inquire about bike rentals at your hotel or guesthouse. You can also find rental shops near West Street and Fengming Parking Lot. During the off-season, electric bikes typically cost CNY 20–30 per day, and regular bicycles cost CNY 15–20 per day. Prices may increase during peak season. Check the Bike Before renting, carefully check the brakes, tires, and battery level (for electric bikes). If you find any issues, ask for a replacement.

The Yulong River area is particularly popular for this, providing an idyllic backdrop for a leisurely ride. Don't miss the chance to visit Moon Hill, a natural limestone arch with a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. The hike up can be steep, but the reward is well worth the effort. In #yangshuo, the local cuisine is a delight. Sample traditional dishes such as Beer Fish, made with fresh catch from the Li River, or indulge in a hearty bowl of Guilin Rice Noodles. The bustling West Street is the place to be for foodies, offering a variety of local and international restaurants, as well as lively bars and shops. For a truly immersive experience, consider staying in one of the many boutique guesthouses or eco-lodges scattered throughout the area. These accommodations often provide guided tours and activities, allowing you to dive deeper into the local culture and natural wonders. We stayed at the beautiful #Teacozyhotel, a wonderful hotel with the best staff you could ask for. Lastly, be respectful of the local environment and customs; Yangshuo's charm lies in its unspoiled nature and rich traditions. Yangshuo is more than just a destination; it’s an experience that engages all your senses. Whether you're drifting along its rivers, hiking its mountains, or savoring its cuisine, Yangshuo promises an unforgettable journey. This was one of our favorite places to visit in #china and we can’t wait to go back to this wonderful country and explore more! It’s truly a dream summer destination.
