A small marble paved path designed carefully enables you to appreciate the Moon Hill from different angles. The path has 890 steps totally. As moving on, you can see the sky through the hole which resembles from a crescent to a full moon. from the hilltop, you can have a bird’s-eye view of the rural landscape including villages, paddy fields and silky rivers and so on.
