Exhausting climb in the heat but rewarded by the wonderful view from the top, take plenty of water! More

We cycled for several hours through beautiful countryside and then climbed the 800 plus steps to the top. Great views but after rain you need to be careful when walking back down More

I rode my bike here from Show Bizz inn and its a nice ride, best done before noon. Pack some water it is expensive on the trail/stairs up. The climb is worth the view which is fantastic, but the best views are not from the front of the moon. Walk through the arch of the moon and head up the... More

Moon Hill is an interesting site - but don't expect to spend more than 5 minutes. Snap a photo and you've done just about all you can here. More

Climbing Moon hill makes a pleasant, slightly strenuous walk that rewards you with quite some views of the lime stone humps around. The path is well maintained but take water along as it gets more expensive to buy the higher you climb. More

This was worth doing, but not as thrilling as the bike ride to Dragon Bridge through the countryside or as picturesque as the bamboo raft trip down the Yulong river. The view at the top is nice. As usual, there was litter. 800 steps to the top according to the sign, not bad for the average person. More

Very quiet place without massive groups with a very nice walk to the top through a bamboo forest. You need to be in a good physical condition to reach the top but the views from there are breath- taking. Beautiful. More

It took us about half an hour to climb up and slightly longer to come down. Be sure to walk the extra little bit of track at the top as it leads you to that 'framed' view of the valleys beyond. The touts were fairly persistent at the bottom but not aggressive. After a firm no, they didn't follow us... More

A whole lot of people trying to sell you "stuff". Just a 5 min stop for a photo opportunity. More
