Moon Hill
One kilometer to the south of the Big Banyan Tree, 50 minutes' bike trip from Yangshuo, there lies the Moon Hill. Named for the crescent shaped cave running through the hill. the Moon Hill is one of the highlights in Yangshuo. The journey up to the summit is arduous which covers 800 steep steps. The scenery overlooking the countryside through the half moon, however, is well worth the trek, which is probably the best you will get in the area.
At foot of the hill lies a tiny village called Moon Hill Village. The village offers a haven for those who would like to stay off the touristy places around Yangshuo. It is a tranquil village free from the pollution, stress and turmoil that plague most of the cities we live. The traditional life style continues as time stands still here.
The best way is to ride a bike and you will see the Meeting Dragon River and the Big Banyan Tree on your way. the trip takes around 30 minutes.
