2024 Huayin Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

Since ancient times, there has been only one way to Huashan, how to choose between ascending from the west and descending from the north or ascending from the north and descending from the west

🏔 One-day tour of Huashan, departing from Xi'an, leave at 7 am and return at 7 pm, climb and finish on the same day, and your legs will be disabled for two days afterwards. 1⃣ Tour Route 🔹 Ascend from the west and descend from the north: The classic route, takes about 5-7 hours. Less climbing and more descending. The essence is concentrated in the first half of the journey on the West Peak cable car and the ascent to the South Peak. It's the preferred choice for those who don't exercise regularly; don't trouble yourself by choosing to ascend from the north and descend from the west. I was grateful countless times for not choosing the latter when I descended from the north. 🔹 Ascend from the north and descend from the west: The challenger's route, takes about 6-8 hours. Basically climbing all the way up. It takes 2-3 hours to reach Jinsuo Pass by the ancient Huashan path. The essence is concentrated in the latter half, and descending by the West Peak cable car is very refreshing. Suitable for those who exercise regularly. 🔹 Ascend and descend from the west: The elderly route, takes about 3-5 hours. Those who find it tiring can take their time and only visit the two most beautiful sceneries of the West Peak and South Peak. The most classic scenery is concentrated on the West Peak cable car. 🔹 Night climbing route: Start climbing from the North Peak at eight or nine in the evening, and reach the East Peak to watch the sunrise 🌄 at four or five in the morning. There are many people and lights along the way, suitable for college students and special forces. 2⃣ Scenic Spots Check-in 🔹 West Peak: Lotus Peak, the spot where Chen Xiang split the mountain to save his mother. The West Peak cable car is yyds❗️ Deservedly the TOP1 cable car in Asia, with first-class scenery, extremely shocking upon arrival. 🔹 South Peak: The highest peak among the Five Great Mountains, Changkong Plank Walk (those who start climbing after 10 am can go directly to queue, otherwise it's a two-hour wait at least, and by the time you're done, it's time to descend). 🔹 East Peak: Chaoyang Peak, watch the sunrise 🌄, and Yazi Flipping Over (a substitute for the Changkong Plank Walk). 🔹 Central Peak: Jade Maiden Peak, quite ordinary. 🔹 North Peak: Yuntai Peak, the only path since ancient times. Before the West Peak cable car opened in 2013, only the North Peak was accessible, and this section of the North Peak is also the best representation of the danger and uniqueness of Huashan. 3⃣ Costs 🔹 Ticket: 💰160 peak season/100 off-season 🔹 Scenic shuttle bus: West Peak 💰40/North Peak 💰20 🔹 Cable car: West Peak cable car 💰140/North Peak cable car 💰80 🔹 High-speed train🚄: 💰54.5 from Xi'an North to Huashan North 🔹 Group tour: Most cost-effective, includes city pick-up and drop-off, the group fee is basically the same as the self-paid costs mentioned above. ⚠️ Precautions 🔹 Gloves are a must-buy at the foot of the mountain❗️ Rely on gloves to grab the chains, anti-slip and also clean. 🔹 Walking sticks can be brought or not, they are somewhat useful when descending the North Peak, but otherwise not very useful. 🔹 Pay attention to anti-slip, there is still snow on the mountain in March, and it can be slippery after melting. If it's really not manageable, buy anti-slip crampons at the foot of the mountain to cover your shoes. 🔹 There's no need to bring too much food, two bottles of sports drinks are enough, and just two pieces of ham and chocolate. Water can be bought on the mountain. 🔹 Make sure to have a power bank ready, as taking photos along the way will quickly drain your phone's battery. 🔹 The extra audio guide for group tours is not necessary. Although there are introductions, I was either gasping from climbing or taking photos along the way, and I hardly listened. 🔹 Apart from night climbing, there's no need to wear too much, just dress as you would in Xi'an. It's a bit cool when you first get on the mountain, but once you start climbing, you'll sweat profusely. 🔹 Don't go to the toilets on the mountain❗️ They are extremely suffocating, and because you sweat a lot while climbing, you won't need to go to the toilet much, so just go before the cable car. 🔹 Be sure to stretch before getting on the bus after descending❗️

The upcoming adventure is a spring day on Mount Hua in March | Climbing to the top to enjoy the flowers

Because it is a team-building trip, we chose the popular route 'West up, North down' + cable car buff For those who exercise regularly, this route is quite relaxing, feeling like it's just a warm-up before it's over, and the rest is mostly downhill, which is not knee-friendly. For those who are not used to exercising, it can still be tiring, and we encountered guys cramping their legs on the way down the mountain Mount Hua is known for its steepness, and taking the cable car up the West Peak is really thrilling. The moment the mountain structure gradually comes into view as the cable car ascends is stunning, but those who are afraid of heights might be scared. The 🌲 Chinese pines, Mount Hua pines, and peach blossoms 🌸 on the mountain peaks create a picturesque scene, and there is still some unmelted snow on the mountain. The spring breeze is so comfortable, and it's amazing to walk and admire the view along the way, it would be even more breathtaking if there were a sea of clouds The overall route is well-established, and as long as you don't climb over the barriers and hold onto the chains properly, it's generally safe Finally, I picked up two pine cones on the mountain as souvenirs from Mount Hua～🥳 🌸Suggestions: 1. For those who exercise less and have poor physical strength, it is recommended to take the 'West up, North down' route + cable car. After the South Peak, it's all downhill stairs, try to bring knee pads to reduce pressure 2. For those who exercise regularly and enjoy hiking, it is recommended to go 'North up, West down'. The climbing process is more enjoyable, and it's actually more knee-friendly for those with bad knees 3. The weather was clear on the day of the hike, and it was not cold on the mountain. A quick-dry shirt + a softshell jacket/thin coat for spring and autumn is enough. You can check the weather of Mount Hua on the official account 'Mount Hua Tourism Service Platform' 4. Pay attention to sun protection, as some sections are unshaded and can be quite sunny 5. You need to bring gloves 🧤, a backpack, soft-soled non-slip hiking shoes, a power bank, and an adequate amount of food and water. There are several supply points on the mountain, and I think the prices are reasonable 6. You can bring some cat food, as there are many clingy cats on Mount Hua 🤤 7. Souvenirs on the mountain get cheaper the further down you go. Tourists from other places should never buy swords 🗡, as they are not even allowed in checked baggage on planes. 8. Don't walk and take photos at the same time, take photos without walking, and don't do dangerous actions just for the sake of taking pictures. Be sure to give way to pedestrians️

Mount Hua in Shaanxi | The most dangerous mountain in the world

⚠️Precautions: 1️⃣Weather: Check the weather in advance on the official blog of 'Mount Hua Scenic Area' and choose a suitable weather to start. 2️⃣Water: Water is too heavy, don't bring too much! Don't worry too much about the high prices on the mountain, they are all within an acceptable range. 3️⃣Food: The climbing process is too tiring, not too hungry and don't want to eat too much. Before departure, I prepared some small snacks like Snickers, ham sausage, bread compressed biscuits, which are basically sold on the mountain, and the price is more expensive than usual, which is understandable. 4️⃣Clothes: Just wear a T-shirt and sweatshirt for climbing. The climbing process will be very hot, and the temperature on the top of the mountain will be very low, so you need to bring thick clothes! 5️⃣Gloves: They will be used when holding the iron chain. The supermarket at the foot of the mountain sells a pair for two yuan. It will be very tired later, so you can use your hands and feet directly. 6️⃣Headlight: It is necessary for night climbing! Some places have no lights, and the battery is 15 at the foot of the mountain. We used our mobile phones to light the way all the way, don't mention how troublesome it was. (Climbing stick: Say it three times, no need, no need, no need‼️) 7️⃣Photography: Girls generally don't wear makeup when they climb at night, so sunglasses, masks and hats are necessary! You will sweat during the climbing process, and it is overnight, so it is not recommended to wear contact lenses, wear them when you reach the top. Selfie sticks and tripods depend on personal circumstances. 8️⃣Essentials: ID card, student card, power bank, data cable, tissues, wet wipes. ⚠️Tour route: 〰️Go north and west〰️ Yuquan Courtyard-North Peak-Central Peak-East Peak (sunrise)-West Peak-Tourist Center. ⚠️About the cost: Xi'an North-Mount Hua North: Round trip 109💰. Tickets: Students 80💰, adults 160💰. West Peak Cable Car: Students 126💰, adults 140💰. Downhill bus: 40/person💰. Carpool high-speed rail station: 5/person💰. ⚠️Small tips: It's best to have a companion if you're alone, it's safe and not boring along the way. The initial part of the climb is not tiring, you need to save your energy, the later part is very steep and consumes a lot of energy!

‘The deadliest trek in the world!’ 😱

Looking for a #newyearadventure ? Then I can’t recommend Hua Shan enough! This is a bucket list destination! Try to book accommodation close to the park entrance if you want to avoid the queues. We were extremely lucky because the park was closed for the previous 3 days due to weather and they opened it at 9am very last minute. Wasn’t more than 50 people on the whole mountain! However I’ve heard queues can be brutally long (up to 3 hours during peak times) for the walkway planks so best to get there as early as possible and head straight to the walkway. Hiking from the bottom is possible and would allow you to enjoy the scenery with few people around however personally i would recommend taking the chairlift to the top and hiking down if you want the best chances of avoiding the queues. There are places to get a snack on the mountain so no need to bring supplies.

#chinatrip #huashan #china #mountain A bit about Mount Hua (Huashan), There is one of China's Five Great Mountains, located in Shaanxi Province near the city of Huayin. Known for its steep, dramatic cliffs and stunning views, Huashan is famous for both its natural beauty and cultural significance. There have five main peaks, each with its own distinct character, the tallest being South Peak, which rises to 2,154 meters (7,067 feet). The most famous trail is the plank walk, often referred to as one of the world’s most dangerous hiking trails😱 due to its narrow pathways and sheer drops but unluckily, it was too cloudy that day. I couldn't do it. Normally for spend the time there, you should have 5-6 hours for cover 5 peaks. But you can choose the way to go. For me South and east peak are very stunning view. Transport : High speed train🚄 to Huashan north railway staion, then take a bus to main ticket officer. There will have bus🚍 and cable car🚡 to the top. Seperate to North peak and West peak. *For everyone who don't want to walk much. I suggest to start at West peak. Also the cable car very incradible human made through high mountain. Recommend place : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐5/5 Difficult level walking : ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5

Buddha's Light: China's Magical Light

When sunlight pierces through the clouds and shines on the mountains and rivers, a mysterious and dazzling natural wonder, Buddha's Light, quietly emerges. China's Buddha's Light tourist attractions, with their ethereal and dreamy qualities, attract countless hearts in pursuit of magic and beauty. The characteristics of Buddha's Light lie in its mystery and ethereal fantasy. It often appears under specific conditions, like a sudden flash of light in a fairyland, giving people a surprise and shock. The colorful halo surrounds the figure, like a sacred crown, and like a blessing of auspiciousness. The colors of Buddha's Light are colorful and changeable, with distinct layers, as if it is a divine painting drawn by nature with the most delicate strokes. Its cause comes from complex optical phenomena. When sunlight shines on the surface of clouds and fog, after diffraction and reflection, the human shadow is projected into the halo, forming this wonderful Buddha's Light. "The mountains are full of beauty, and the water is full of clouds", which vividly depicts the dreamlike atmosphere when Buddha's Light appears. As a Buddhist holy land, the appearance of Buddha's Light in Wutai Mountain has a more sacred meaning. The temples are scattered, the bells are melodious, and when the sunlight penetrates the lingering incense, Buddha's Light quietly descends in this solemn and solemn atmosphere. The dazzling halo seems to be the light of compassion shed by the Buddha, warm and peaceful, enveloping every devout believer. "The ancient temple is outside the green mountain, and the Zen room is deep in the flowers and trees." In this deep and quiet environment, the appearance of Buddha's Light adds a transcendent and refined atmosphere. The believers put their hands together and pray silently in the Buddha's Light. The soul seems to have received the purest baptism. At this moment, time seems to stand still, the hustle and bustle of the world are left behind, only the sacred Buddha's Light and inner peace. The Buddha's Light of Mount Tai shows its majesty and majesty. It stands on the land of Qilu, carrying the heaviness and precipitation of the ancient times. When Buddha's Light comes, the majestic mountain body is even more solemn and solemn under the light. The peaks and mountains are undulating, the clouds and mists are ethereal, and Buddha's Light is like an auspicious sign from the sky, putting a mysterious veil on Mount Tai. Standing on the top of Mount Tai, bathing in the Buddha's Light, you can truly appreciate the majestic momentum of the mountains and rivers. The Buddha's Light of Huashan adds a touch of magic to its danger. Huashan is famous for its steep cliffs and deep valleys. When Buddha's Light flashes here, it is like a mysterious light from the sky. The peaks are steep, the strange rocks are rugged, and Buddha's Light seems to be a brilliant pearl specially decorated for it by nature. "Only the sky is on, and there is no mountain to match", under the reflection of this Buddha's Light, the danger of Huashan is more unique. The light seems to be telling the tenacity and unyielding of Huashan, and also makes people full of deeper respect and yearning for this famous mountain after marveling. In Emei Mountain, Sichuan, Buddha's Light often appears on the Golden Dome. Standing on the top of the mountain, the sea of clouds is surging, the sun is piercing the clouds, and Buddha's Light is looming. When the mysterious halo surrounds your figure, it seems to be in the fairyland of the Buddha country. "Shu has many fairy mountains, and Emei is hard to match", this famous mountain full of fairy spirits is more sacred and solemn because of the blessing of Buddha's Light. The Buddha's Light of Huangshan is also amazing. Among the strange peaks and rocks, the clouds and mists are lingering, and Buddha's Light flashes from time to time. It is like a mysterious visitor, adding a bit of mystery to this magnificent mountain and river. "Huangshan is four thousand feet, thirty-two lotus peaks. Dan Cliff is sandwiched with stone pillars, and the lotus is golden hibiscus." Encountering Buddha's Light in such a strange scene, people can't help but marvel at the ingenuity of nature. China's Buddha's Light tourist attractions are not only the wonderful gifts of nature, but also the window of dialogue between the soul and the world. Buddha's Light, like the smile of nature, is warm and mysterious. Under the shining of Buddha's Light, people feel the magic and greatness of nature, and are full of awe and yearning for the mystery of the universe.

Xi'an Travel Guide - Attractions

Xi'an Travel Notes (Attractions) I decided to go to Xi'an on a whim, and I had a great time. Here's a rough itinerary for my 6-day trip: Transportation🚄: Hangzhou-Xi'an round-trip sleeper train Accommodation🏨: Urban Garden Hotel near the Bell Tower🏨 Day 1: Xi'an Museum (inside the Small Wild Goose Pagoda) - Guangren Temple - Bell Tower Day 2: Shaanxi History Museum (book in advance) - Yizhou Mall Wenwen Makeup - Tang Dynasty Everbright City Day 3: Sleep until almost noon - Bell Tower video reshoot - Rose Makeup - Photographer photoshoot📷 - V Spicy Halal Skewers🍢 (delicious👌) - Head to Mount Hua Day 4: Climb Mount Hua, due to strong winds on the West Peak, we could only go up and down from the North (a laborious and uneconomical route, but we had no choice at the time) Day 5: Mount Li - Huaqing Palace - Terracotta Army - The Song of Everlasting Sorrow (located within Huaqing Palace) Day 6: Order breakfast takeaway and sleep until noon - Yongxingfang - Camel Bell Legend - Massage - Return trip Tips for itinerary planning: 1. Remember to avoid Mondays for all museums, I personally don't recommend visiting the Xi'an Museum or Huaqing Palace, they're a bit boring🥱 2. Put Mount Hua on the last day, bring snacks before going up the mountain, I was with friends, so we needed to play in advance 3. Get up early to do your makeup, go to Yizhou Mall, and you can go out and play beautifully, we mainly spent too much time on makeup on the third day, which exceeded our plan, the original plan was to go to Xianyang, so we must pay attention to time when going to Rose's house. (Makeup is fine, it looks good)
