Tough hike but beautiful views
Jul 2021 • Family
Very difficult climb in the heat. Humid and hot. All shaded climbing, but very humid of course. One lovely local farm lady who was 65 made the climb with our family, fanning us at times, and giviing us correct estimations on timelines up the hill. She offered cold drinks at the top of the hill for reasonable prices. After a solid hike we were happy to support her efforts and camaraderie. Fantastic views at the top...just behind the moon. Worth it...but be prepared for the hike. My 6 year old loved it...saw it as a challenge. You can do it!

820 stairs to breathtaking view
May 2021
Excellent hike but be aware there are 820 stairs so people that have a bad knee might want to reconsider the hike. If you do not mind stairs the view is breathtaking...

Intersting rock formation
Oct 2020
We did not do the hike due to personal reasons , but can imagine that the views must be amazing just like most of the views from hills in this area. Interesting rock formation next time we will do the hike.

A lot of steps, but a great view makes it worthwhile
Aug 2020
If you are in Yangshou, you already know how beautiful it is, but this easy walk up Moon Hill gives you a totally new perspective. The route to the top has steps but wear shoes with a good grip as it can be a bit steep and slippery in places. There is an entrance fee.

Amazing views
Jul 2020 • Family
The hike up is tiring but totally doable. We visited in July which was hot and muggy but the stairs that lead to the top are shaded by the bamboos.

Beautiful Hike
Jun 2020
A must-see in Yangshuo! Moon Hill is a great half-day trip and an easy climb with steps and handrails the whole way. It was very hot the day we went but also quiet which was nice. The scenery is beautiful from the outlook and there were a few ladies selling ice-cold drinks at the top to thirsty climbers.

Hot and humid but a great view
May 2020 • Couples
A hard climb up a lot of steps on a very hot and humid day. I stopped at the half way point as it began to rain and thunderstorms were likely. My husband continued to the top and enjoyed the view but said you actually get a better view of the hill from lower down. Excellent view of surrounding area too.

Worth it
May 2020 • Couples
A great way to leave the valley and get another perspective. But on a hot humid day it was an unpleasant 600 steps!

we cycled here from the Giggling Tree hotel along the river past the paddy fields, and ate in the small cafe alongside the rock formation. The reason we travel is to discover places like this.

We used a travel guide company in Beijing for all of our travel called Thechinaguide. They provided us with a guide named Henry Lee. He was excellent. Ask for him

Hi Sora,
Moon Hill is about 8.3 km from Shuidongmen pier and depending on your cycling speed it will take less than 1 hour.

Hi I am wondering about the bike ride to Moon Hill. We will be biking to Fuji bridge in the morning and then to Moon Hill. I am trying to get a sense for the difficulty. How hilly and far is it? Thanks.

We did the bike ride along the banks of the nearby river and ended up at the cafe at the foot of Moon Hill. The bike ride was comfortable with not many hills to climb and I found it relatively easy and I am a 71 year old guy. The distance we covered was around 15/20 Kilometres but the bike ride was beautiful.
The walk up to the top of Moon Hill is not what I would call an easy stroll but neither is it too difficult. There are steps that take you to the top and the views, once you reach the top, are lovely. It is well worth the effort and there are places where you can stop to catch your breath if needed. Enjoy your trip. I'm jealous.

I see the mention of the refilled glass water bottles instead of plastic bottled water. My question is about the "safety?" of the water for travelers unaccustomed to the local water. Is this water commercially bottled?

I never saw a glass water bottle my entire trip, there are sealed plastic water bottles everywhere in china. I was in the country for 2 weeks and had the local water in teas and coffees and it is safe. I wouldn't drink river water but regular water is just as safe as where I live in florida.

Hi, If I bike to Moon Hill, is there a secure place to park my bike whilst I do your climb?
Thanks for any advice.

If you have a chain for your bike you could chain it to a tree in the parking lot. The Moon Hill Cafe is right off of a main road and there is a gravel parking lot to the right; that is the only place I could see a bike being parked. It is a safe area if you wanted to just leave it unchained but I understand some people don't feel comfortable doing that. The trail to the top is directly to the left of the cafe.
