Yangshuo, China Sept. 2016

Moon Hill (Chinese: 月亮山; pinyin: Yuèliàng Shān; li "Moon Mountain") is a hill with a natural arch through it a few kilometers outside Yangshuo. It is so named for a wide, semicircular hole through the hill, all that remains of what was once a limestone cave formed in the phreatic zone.
