natural wonder in a mountain in southern china near Guilin

I saw this several years ago as part of an all Chinese internal holiday package where I was the only westerner on it (bugger when you don't speak any Chinese though). A huge and quite symmetrical natural hole right through the massive hill, was well...More

Definitely worth a visit

Nice view from the top

it is about a 15-20 minute walk up the stairs to reach the moon (whole in the rock). if you walk a little further you will have a beautiful view of the whole surroundings which I enjoyed more than the moon rock itself.

Good. Great if you go to the real top.

Entrance fee is 11 yuan. After 20-30 minutes of walking up the hill, you pass through the arch and reach the top platform on the other side. The stairs are in good condition, but it seems they would be slippery on a wet day. For...More

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... More

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?

Hi, generally you have done a quite nice homework about you itinerary in these two places. But still I have some advice. I am afraid you could not catch the early flag-rising on the first day morning, why not do that in the second or third day? It would be better to check the exact flag-rising time in the first day evening at your hotel. The rest in Beijing is quite nice and leisure. As for the hotel in Guilin, just go to the downtown by taxi after you arrived at Guilin. Actually the option...More

Isn't it a classic case of "killing the goose..."? I do understand that tourists impose a drain of resources such as water & sewage; roading etc, but there must be better ways of funding this. Surely it would be much more sensible to impose a modest levy on hotel rooms.

You will sure warm up climbing Moon Hill! I don't think you can do the rice terraces on the same day. In any case, not much to see in December. Water level on the river is low in December so I am not sure that this boat ride is so much fun.
