2025 Huayin Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

... I'm a Changchun native with a monthly salary of CNY 8,500. I spend my own money, work 9 to 5 with weekends off, and have a car and a house with no loans! I love to travel and use my weekends to travel alone! That's right, I'm a travel commando! · [Friday after work] This week I'm going to Xi'an, first to see the Terracotta Warriors, then to climb Mount Hua! I get off work at 5 pm, arrive at the airport at 6 pm, take a flight at 8 pm, arrive in Xi'an at 11:40 pm, and check in to Hanting Hotel! · [Saturday morning] I get up at 7 am and leave at 8 am! I take Metro Line 9 to Huaqing Pool, then take a bus to the Terracotta Warriors. The scenic area includes the Terracotta Warriors and Lishan Garden! The Terracotta Warriors, which have been buried for more than 2,000 years, are neatly arranged here, majestic and imposing; Lishan Garden, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, and the Bronze Chariot Museum are all here! · [Saturday afternoon] I take a taxi to Huaqing Pool, then take the metro to the Shaanxi History Museum, which requires an advance reservation, and whether you can get one is up to fate! If you can't get one, go to the Xi'an Museum! The above-ground relics are in Shanxi, and the underground relics are in Shaanxi. This saying is true, as there are many exquisite relics, especially the treasures of the Tang Dynasty, the grandeur of the Han Dynasty, and the important town of the Northwest, which are very exciting! · [Saturday night] I eat lamb paomo, which is a bit greasy, but you can use sugar garlic to relieve it! After dinner, I take Metro Line 3 to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and check in to the Great Tang All Day Mall! At 7 pm, there is a fountain show at the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda Square, so don't miss it! · In front is the main entrance of Daci'en Temple, and if you keep walking, you will come to a road! Cross the road to enter the real Great Tang All Day Mall, where there are various sculptures and performance art on the pedestrian street, and I see the Miss Roly-Poly, the Secret Box of the Tang Dynasty, and more! · [Sunday daytime] I leave at 7 am, take Metro Line 2 to Xi'an North Railway Station, take train G1712 to Mount Hua, depart at 8:25 am, arrive at Huashan North Railway Station at 8:55 am, and take a taxi to the visitor center! Due to time constraints, I don't hike up the mountain, but take the cable car from the north to the west, because I want to challenge Canglong Ridge! · The cable car takes ten minutes to reach the North Peak, where I can see the Central Peak, which looks like a gold ingot, and Mount Hua is really beautiful! I keep walking, passing Juxian Terrace, the Ladder, and Jiuku Terrace, and then I reach Canglong Ridge, which is steep and narrow, and climbing it is very physically demanding! · After passing Canglong Ridge, I reach Jinsuo Pass and the Central Peak. It takes more than two hours to get from the North Peak to the Central Peak, and the most difficult part is Canglong Ridge, while the rest is manageable. I stay at the Central Peak for ten minutes, then challenge the West Peak! The West Peak is relatively easy to walk, with smaller steps, and is suitable for most tourists! This section takes about an hour, and the highlights are Yang Gong Tower, Axe-split Rock, and more! · I don't go to the East and South Peaks, which is a real pity! The legendary Chess Pavilion and Chang Kong Plank Road are over there, and even if I went, I probably wouldn't dare to challenge them! At 2:30 pm, I arrive at the West Peak cable car, which is basically a vertical descent, and I want to record a video, but I don't dare! · [Sunday night] I leave the scenic area at 3 pm, take the high-speed train to Luoyang Longmen Railway Station, arrive at 4:30 pm, take a taxi to Beijiao Airport, take off at 6:35 pm, land in Shenyang at 8:55 pm, and then take a train back to Changchun! ... [Expenses] Round-trip train tickets: CNY 1,400; tickets: CNY 500; accommodation: CNY 250; meals: CNY 200; taxis: CNY 150; total: around CNY 2,500! ...

| Hiking Up - Cable Car Down (Ultimate Guide). Life is but 30,000 days, set off the moment you yearn to do something! (Map at the end of the article) 🌟Route: Yuquan Yuan - North Peak - Central Peak - East Peak - South Peak - West Peak - Cable Car Down - Bus Back to Visitor Center 🕙Time Arrangement: Arrive at Huashan Station at 9:30 PM, there are shared taxis right outside the station, 30 yuan per car takes you directly to the foot of the mountain! 🧤Essential Items: Be sure to buy a pair of one-yuan gloves! They keep you warm, and in some places, you really need to use your hands and feet and pull on iron chains. 💪Physical Strength Distribution Tips: 1. After reaching the foot of the mountain, there is still a distance to walk to the ticket checkpoint. 2. From Yuquan Yuan to Maonv Cave, it's mostly uphill on stone slab paths, which is quite uncomfortable. There is a supply point every 300 meters, with water initially at 10 yuan for 3 bottles, then 10 yuan for 2 bottles, and apples and tomatoes usually 10 yuan for three. 3. Beyond Maonv Cave, it's all steps. 4. The stretch from Qianchi Tong to Baizhang Gorge to North Peak is the toughest! The steps are narrow and crowded, only 5CM wide, and you can only walk sideways, with nothing but steps above you. 5. There are tents at the top of North Peak for accommodation and rest. Around 2 - 3 AM is when your energy is at its lowest, with hunger, fatigue, and sleepiness all hitting at once. We stopped and slept for a while at each supply point. 6. From North Peak to Central Peak, you will pass through Canglong Ridge. It's terrifying during the day with cliffs on both sides, but at night it's not visible, so just pull on the iron chains and slowly climb up! It's not recommended to rest here, as stopping will prevent people behind from being able to continue; just stand and rest for a moment. 7. For those who can't make it to East Peak by 5 AM, it's recommended to watch the sunrise at Jin Suo Pass, which has a wide view, fewer people, and a clear view of the sunrise. 8. We set off early with fog, and both the Yazi Flipping Over and the Changkong Plank Road were closed. Around 6 AM, we headed straight for South Peak, which doesn't have much of a climb, mostly long steps, passing through the oxygen-absorbing forest. After North Peak, there are no more supply points, so stock up on food and drink at North Peak, as there will be nothing for sale until you get to the cable car down! 9. South Peak is extremely crowded, and even taking photos requires squeezing through. Take your photos quickly and move on. West Peak is spacious and incredibly beautiful. We basked in the sun for an hour here, drying our clothes, super comfortable! 10. It's only a 15-minute walk from the top of West Peak to the West Peak cable car, all downhill. The cable car may not operate in bad weather, so always be aware. 11. After taking the cable car down the mountain, there is still a distance to walk to the bus center. You can choose to walk down the steps or take a 30 yuan slide car down, which is highly recommended for the thrill! 12. Take a 40 yuan bus to the Visitor Center, and once there, quickly find a shared taxi on the roadside back to the station for 10 yuan per person! Otherwise, you'll have to walk a long way through the mall and down the mountain road to hail a taxi, or take a free bus to the city center that comes every 50 minutes.

"Among the three mountains and five sacred peaks, everyone heads to the sea, only I alone to the mountain." Choose a clear day in June or July and challenge Mount Hua! Enjoy the sea of clouds, sunrise, and the magnificent scenery of the mountain mists. ⚠️ Precautions: - The temperature at the summit is low, with a significant temperature difference between morning and evening. There is a risk of heatstroke during the day and catching a cold at night, so prepare a light jacket. - Transportation guide: Take a shuttle bus from the Huashan Tourist Center to Yuquan Courtyard. ⛰️ Hiking Strategy: 1️⃣ It is recommended to join a tour group for hiking, the cost is reasonable, and transportation is provided. 2️⃣ Route selection: - West up, North down: Mainstream route, takes about 5-7 hours. - North up, West down: Challenging route, takes about 6-8 hours, not for the unconfident. - West up, West down: Senior route, takes about 3-5 hours, cable car available. 🌸 Attraction Introduction: - West Peak: Top-level cableway, stunning views. - South Peak: The highest of the Five Sacred Mountains, need to queue early for the Plank Walk. - East Peak: Watch the sunrise, the Plank Walk challenge is here. - Central Peak: Plain and unremarkable. - North Peak: Cloud Terrace Peak, historical sites. 📷 Photography Tips: 1️⃣ Each peak has different inscriptions of "Huashan Swordsmanship", to avoid queuing, choose the right photo spot. 2️⃣ The Plank Walk and the Turning of the Sparrow are thrilling and dangerous, not suitable for casual photography. 3️⃣ Sunglasses and a climbing hat are essential for good photos. Overall Review: The scenery of Mount Hua and the challenge of a hiking trip are worth a visit. If you have always dreamed of climbing Mount Hua, take the opportunity, or you will miss the best weather.

stay Near the Bell and Drum Tower: Xi'an city center, the advantage is that it is close to the scenic spots and the Muslim Street Food Street, but the disadvantage is that the price is high, there are many people and cars, and there are serious traffic jams during peak hours. Near Yongning Gate: 1 station away from the Bell and Drum Towers, the price is about the same as the Bell and Drum Towers, the advantage is convenient transportation and a wide range of delicious food Near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda: Very close to the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City and the Tang Dynasty Furong Garden. It is convenient for watching the night view. It is also convenient to take a subway or taxi around. Near high-speed rail station/Xi'an Station: transportation to scenic spots is also convenient Four-day tour classic route: 1 Arrive in Xi'an - Check into the hotel I’m too tired from driving. I’ll take a nice rest after landing, and then go out for a stroll in the evening. ~ 2 Terracotta Warriors-Huaqing Palace-The Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty-Song of Everlasting Sorrow The tour guide explains the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, and the experience is different! Go to Datang Evernight City in the evening and there are many performances there. It is very lively. Don’t miss it. 3Ming Dynasty City Wall-Big Wild Goose Pagoda-Bell and Drum Tower-Muslim Street You can rent a bicycle to enjoy the scenery at the city wall, otherwise you will be too tired to walk. Going to the Bell and Drum Tower at night is very photogenic when the lights are on. Sisters who want to take pictures of Hanfu, don’t miss it. There are many snacks in Huimin Street~ 4Huashan-Return Huashan Mountain is a bit steep, but the scenery is super beautiful. Remember to wear sneakers. If you are lucky, you can also see the sea of ​​clouds. There is a ropeway, and you can walk up it on your own~ Xi'an travel lightning protection suggestions You can often see people wearing strange clothes near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. If you want to take a photo with you, there is actually a fee. Don't buy Xi'an specialties near major scenic spots. They are expensive. It is recommended to go to local supermarkets, which are economical and affordable. The Tang Dynasty Never Sleeps City at night has a high photo production rate, so don’t go there during the day as it has a strong commercial atmosphere. Most of the scenic spots in Xi'an require tickets. If you have a student ID card, remember to bring it with you. It's very important! The Internet celebrity snack Brush Pastry is expensive and I personally don’t think it tastes good, so don’t buy it. Huimin Street is heavily commercialized. Most of the people who check in are foreign tourists. Please take care of your belongings. If Baozi is going to Xi'an for the first time and doesn't want to do a guide but can't book a hotel, he can sign up for a local tuan for fun, which will save him a lot of worry, especially when watching the Song of Everlasting Sorrow show at night. The last one was after 11 o'clock, and there is no subway. It is inconvenient to go back to the city. But you must be careful when signing up for a group tour to avoid the pitfalls of low-priced tours! If you need it! I can recommend it to everyone. ~

🏔 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❗️

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

⚠️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!

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.

Mount Huashan is a very famous mountain in Shaanxi province near Xi'an as the root of Chinese culture. On this one of the "Five Mountains" in China, you will encounter the most dangerous hiking trail, gorgeous sceneries, temples, and cable cars.

It was the first time I went to Xi'an and Luoyang for a seven-day tour with a mainland group. I flew from Shenzhen to Xi'an, and the tour group sent a car to pick me up. Xi'an, also known as Chang'an in ancient times, is the capital city of Shaanxi Province in China, located in the middle of China. Thirteen dynasties once established their capitals here, making it the city with the most capitals and the longest history in Chinese history. The first stop was the very famous Terracotta Warriors and Horses - the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. Built over a period of 39 years from 246 BC to 208 BC, it is the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. It is also the first large-scale, well-organized and well-preserved imperial mausoleum in China. From a wide perspective, the site is large enough to cover several football fields. It is so big that there are many tourists coming to visit. According to the tour guide, the appearance of each figurine is different. It is really hard to imagine how the craftsmen in those days carved such lifelike stone figurines. The second stop was the Xi'an City Wall, which is located in the urban area. The Xi'an City Wall was built on the basis of the imperial city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty. Later, it was repaired many times to form a strict defense system. It is one of the most complete ancient city walls in China. As soon as you enter, you will see the tall and magnificent city wall. You have to walk up a long stone staircase to get to the top of the building on the city wall. Red lanterns are hung everywhere, imagining the prosperity of the capital in the past, and scenes from period movies emerge, which is very interesting. #西安 #兵马内

Situated in Huayin City, Mount Huashan is 120 kilometers (75 miles) from Xi'an. It is famous for natural vista of steep and narrow paths, precipitous crags and a high mountain range. Its five peaks are the representative attractions and each has its distinctive charms: East Peak is the best place to enjoy the sunrise; South Peak has the highest altitude; West Peak is the most elegant; North Peak is famous as the Cloud Terrace Peak and Middle Peak is also called Jade Lady Peak. The Mount Huashan is also home to several influential Taoist temples, where many emperors of past dynasties took part in Taoist activities and sacrificed to the god of mountain, making it a holy land of Taoism. Hike on Huashan Mountain is very popular among visitors. For many years most people have taken a traditional but efficient walking-ascending and cable-car-descending route for this mountain climbing. By taking this route, visitors can experience not only its danger, but also the major meaningful scenic spots. At the foot of Mt. Huashan, you can start your trip by visiting the Jade Spring Temple. After that, you can walk to the Memorial Archway in about 15 min, and then in 5 min you will get to Five Dragon Bridge, next to which is the ticket office.

Amazing Huashan, China we had amazing time, beautiful mountain. It was hard to go all the way up, once you get there, you will appreciate the view.

World Huashan Insurance, famous in the world. Huashan's most dangerous place, in addition to the long empty path, there are pigeons turning over. It is rumored that when Zhao Wei played chess, the current game is still the same. The scorpion turned over in the Shandong East Peak, which is the only way to the chess pavilion. It is one of the famous dangerous roads in Huashan. The road was cut on the cliff of the inverted ridge, and the lower view was only seen in the volley, and the path was not seen. At this point, visitors must face the wall, use the toes to find the stone nest, alternately down, and some of them must be like an eagle, flip the body left and right to pass, hence the name.

The boardwalk on the cliffs of Mount Huashan in China, known as the "world's most dangerous mountain trail," is called "Changkong Plank Trail." This is the world's most terrifying scream spot, where you walk along a 30cm-wide board that is stretched across a 1km-high cliff and a small hole in the cliff. Even with a harness (safety line), it's not very reliable, and the wind blowing up from under your feet and the chain of climbers chasing you mercilessly from behind make you feel scared. Personally, the scariest thing was the first difficult challenge, a narrow ladder on a cliff that curved into the bottom of the valley. You have to fight the fear of falling straight down if you lose your footing, while passing each other as you descend a metal ladder that is only wide enough for one person. I highly recommend this to daredevils who want to experience thrills and adventure. #Let's go to China #China #Amazing view #Mount Huashan #Scream spot

Xi'an is in the full bloom. 🌸 The Bell Tower, The Mosque and the Wall are divine. Not to forget the Terra-cotta warriers. The whole city is waking up from the cold winter. The smells of good food from the muslim quarter are bringing the spring into food stands. Everything is so much vibrant than in the past couple of months. Spring came to Xi'an. You should come too. 🇨🇳🤗❤️#springwander #discoverchina

If you are planing to come to Huashan don't miss this place. It's a Tao temple at the start of a mountain. People pray here before they go to hike the mountain. The vibe here is calming and relaxed. It's a small place with several georgeous temples. So sprecial place. No entrance ticket needed. Save about an hour for this place. This is usually a starting point for the 4 mile hike but unfortunatelly this hike is closed (march 2025) and you have to go to Visitor center and take free bus to cable car. At the way back the bus from the cable car to Visitor center is 20 RNB. 😊 #springwander#discoverchina 💫⛰️❤️🌸🇨🇳

Huashan is one of five sacred mountains in China with a georgeous Tao temples on the way. Just 2 hours away from Xi'an by train or hour and a half by bus. You can go on a one day trip but I decided to spend two nights in the downhill of the mountain. Tips: 1. the tickets are valid just for 1 day (not for 48 hours), 2. although is spring, the steps are slippery and covered in snow and ice-be carefull, 3. the easy hiking route to the West peak is clossed (there was no information of this online) so you can only take cable car up and down (depending on the route), 4. start early as possible (I was there at 7 and got on a first shuttle bus to cable car - on the parking of visitors centre where I bought a ticket), at 10 the crowds start to be a bit too much for me, 5. graduate students get 50% off ticket (have to show a student card). Have fun and enjoj. 🌷🤞🍀🤗#springwander #discoverchina ❤️🇨🇳🌸

The dangerous Huashan Mountain is the backbone of China✨ "How majestic is Mount Huashan! The Yellow River flows like a silk thread across the sky." This heroic poem by the immortal poet Li Bai fully expresses the majestic aura of Mount Huashan. Huashan, this famous mountain standing tall in China, is unrivaled in the world for its strangeness and danger. It carries the weight of history and displays the wonders of nature. As you step into Mount Huashan, you are greeted by a cold and resolute atmosphere. Thousands of feet high cliffs rise from the ground like sharp swords piercing the sky and splitting the sky; the texture of the rocks is like a medal engraved by time, recording the vicissitudes of billions of years. The Changkong Plank Road is inlaid on the cliffs. The narrow wooden path is looming in the clouds. Every step you take is a contest between courage and fear. There is a bottomless abyss under your feet and a strip of blue sky above your head. The wind whistles past and your heart is suspended in the air. Only here can you experience what "the most dangerous mountain in the world" means. Canglong Ridge is like a winding dragon lying across the mountains. The ridge is thin and the two sides are deep ravines. People walking on it are like riding a dragon to the sky. If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces. The thrilling feeling makes your adrenaline soar. The Kitesurfing is a representative of the dangers of Mount Huashan. The steep stone stairs that go down vertically require the use of hands and feet to move between the steep cliffs. When you overcome numerous difficulties and reach the chess pavilion, you will feel a sense of accomplishment and awe of Mount Huashan. The beauty of Mount Huashan is not only its dangers. At sunrise, thousands of rays of light penetrate the clouds, covering Huashan with a layer of golden feathers. The peaks are shining, and the sea of ​​clouds is surging with golden waves, like a beautiful landscape painting; when night falls, the sky is filled with stars, Huashan is quiet and mysterious under the moonlight, and the flickering lights in the distance add a bit of worldly touch to this majestic mountain. Huashan is a wonder of nature and a testing ground for the brave. It carries the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation and quietly waits for people to explore, conquer and appreciate its unique charm.
