Hill is an incredible climbing area, one of the kind of places that
you really go travel to see. It is located on the bottom of a huge
stone arch, and it is even possible to hike to the top of it. Words
really cannot describe it, see the pictures to really believe it.
The
hike there is a good warm up, a little sweaty in the summer. It
is mostly straight up a hill, but with well established stone stairs.
The entrance fee is 5 Yuan. The posted fee is 8 Yuan, but show them
your climbing gear and get 3 Yuan off for the already negotiated
climber discount.
The
climbs go from slightly over hanging to very overhanging, and all
of the routes are good. If you are into working projects and climbing
hard, this is the place for you.
Just
tell the driver to go to Moon Hill (they should understand this
no problem … just say “Moon Hill” and no other
words – don’t confuse them by saying something stupid
like “I want to go to Moon Hill”), and then hike to
the top. At the second set of stairs go left to get to the climbing
areas. When you reach the top, you will see a blue sign with the
route listings on the left. Hike up around this for another 45 seconds.
