The ancient ferry is located at the bank of Jinbao River, a tributary of the Lijiang River. Beside the ferry stands a old banyan tree looking like a large umbrella. A legend goes that Gaotian was planted in the Jin Dynasty, about 1,500 years ago.
Ususlly the most popular route in Yangshuo for 1-2 day biking trips is the road to Gao Tian. Famous attractions here include the Ancient Ferry, Tunnel Crag (Chuanyan), Moon Hill, Yulong River, Silver Cave ,Water Cave and Big Banyan etc. In order to have more fun in the countryside, you had better choose to stay overnight in our Dragon River Retreat or at a farmer's home.
The Moon hill has a cave with a diameter of 11 m, looking just like a full moon, hence the name. Viewed from different angles, the cave takes different shapes, just as the moon chances shape with time, and this is one of the major charms of Yangshuo.
