Moon Mountain (Yueliang Shan) from Fenglou village, Gaotian township, near Guilin is a huge slice of rock with a round hole in its center, and you mount 800 steps on a marble paved mountain path to reach it. At various angles it resembles from the new moon to a full moon. The rock measures 380 m (height) by 410 m (length) by 220 m (width).

Legend has it that there is a Guanghan Palace on the moon inhabited by the beauty Change, the Jade Rabbit, and Wu Gang the woodcutter. People in olden days thought they saw these immortals when they came upon spots on the moons surface. Visitors to Moon Hill call to each others attention that there are nature formed rock images of Change, the Jade Rabbit and Wu Gang the woodcutter.

With 14 rock-climbing routes on the northwest side, Moon Mountain offers sufficient challenge to both amateur and professional climbers.
