The Stone Moon: a hole through the Gaoligong ridge, seen from Zuoluodi
Zuoluodi, Shiyueliang township, Fugong county
Near the top of the Gaoligong range across the river, at about 3,300 m, a marble arch some 60 m high and 40 m wide lets the sky show straight through the mountain. The Lisu call it Yahaba and treat it as sacred, the place where their flood story says the waters drained away. The free viewpoint sits beside the canyon road at Zuoluodi village, a little over 40 km north of Fugong town. To get closer, take the ropeway that opened in May 2025: 15 to 20 minutes up to a station near the viewing platform at 2,513 m, which turns what used to be a six-hour climb into a two-to-three-hour outing.
