This is Moon Hill... aptly named, as you can see. We hiked first to the "moon" portion, under the archway, and then to the very top of the arch. The first portion of the hike was all stone stairs, which were built for President Nixon's 1972 historic visit to China. The second part of the hike, to the tip top, was just a narrow and rocky trail. Nixon obviously didn't go to the top of the arch!
Bamboo seems to be a perfect canvas for graffiti in characters!
In the shade in the "moon" portion of Moon Hill.
It was such a bright day we lost distance visibility in some of our photos... there were karsts as far as we could see.
This picture was taken on the very top, where we rested for a little while and had a snack. The panorama of karsts was awesome! Our guides told us that it is possible to repel from the top of Moon Hill... quite a long trip down. Maybe the next time we're in Yangshuo we'll try it.
