Hill climbing, I wanna ask, is it the same as gradient descend, but obviously they are in different directions ...

It is similar, but Hill Climbing moves one parameter at a time. While gradient descent moves along the steepest gradient adjusting multiple parameters at a time, but it requires the function to be differentiable
