Moon Peak is the highest peak among the mountains. From its summit, you can gaze across a thousand elegant peaks. Thanks to the mountain’s unique structure, it gives you the sensation of soaring above the peaks and drifting amidst clouds and ranges.

Not only are the mountains of Zilong Mountain Fortress beautiful, but the water here is also remarkable. Near the mountain’s summit lie three springs: Purple Spring, Fragrant Spring, and Turtle Spring. These abundant springs converge into a bubbling creek that flows year-round without interruption.
