Huashan in Xi'an|I would like to advise anyone who goes to Huashan in Xi'an without doing their homework to quit.
[Grin] "After visiting Mount Hua, you will never want to look at any other mountain." Mount Hua is made of a single piece of granite and has five main peaks, namely the East, South, West, North, and Central peaks. Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Empress Wu Zetian all held ceremonies to worship heaven here.

① North to West (classic route 6-7 hours)
Visitor Center - North Peak Cableway - North Peak Summit - Ear-Cleaning Cliff - Ladder - Canglong Ridge - Jinsuo Pass - Middle Peak - East Peak Summit (Yiaozi Flipping)
—Nantianmen (Skywalk)—South Peak·Yangtianchi—West Peak Cableway Down the Mountain—Visitor Center
Experience: There are many climbs and high physical requirements, but there are fewer queues. You can climb Canglong Ridge and catch the sunset at Xifeng.
② West to North (Popular route 5-6 hours)
The route is exactly the same as going up from the north and down from the west, but sometimes you are not allowed to go down Canglong Ridge, and you can only go down Feiyu Ridge
Experience: A lot of queues, a lot of downhills, but few climbs, relatively easy
3. West up and west down (easy route 3-4 hours)
Visitor Center - West Peak Cableway - West Peak - South Peak - South Gate (Sky Plank Road) - East Peak (Kites Flip) - Middle Peak - West Peak
Cableway down - Visitor Center
Experience: Can't go to the North Peak, cost 80 yuan more, but it takes less time, less climbing, relatively easy, more friendly to the elderly and tourists with children, it is better to sign up for a group if you are with your family😂
Suggested tours (on foot)
① Hike up and down Yuquanyuan (most tiring 10-12 hours)
Yuquanyuan - Huashan Mountain since ancient times - Tiaodao - Qianchizhuang - Baichixia - Laojunligou - North Peak - Canglong Ridge - Middle Peak - East Peak - South Peak - West Peak - Down the West Peak Cableway - Visitor Center
②Climbing time reference
Climb East Peak at night to catch the sunrise: Start at 21:00 and reach the top of East Peak at 4:30 (you won’t feel the danger of Huashan Road)
Normally catch the sunset at West Peak: start at 7:30 and reach the top of North Peak at 12:00 (you can’t see the sunrise at East Peak)
Experience: It takes a long time and requires high physical strength, but it is low cost and in-depth experience, suitable for hiking enthusiasts and special forces.
Note: The above time reference and cost do not include the recent experience of "Skywalk" and "Kite Flip" and the outrageous queue time.
1. Skywalk: 3 hours, 2 hours in line + 1 hour for sightseeing
Requirements: Height above 1.5 meters, age between 13 and 55 years old, two people are required to play together, can play on site (no bags allowed)
2. Harrier Turn: 2 hours, 1 hour in line + 1 hour playing
Requirements: Good physical strength, cliff climbing, very strenuous (cannot bring a bag, need a zippered pocket for a phone)
Cost: 30 yuan/person, cash is required for easy refund (many people buy tickets but dare not play)
Experience: Anyone who is not afraid of heights can try the Changkong Plank Road, but turning over is really a physical job, so do it according to your ability
equipment:
Gloves, mobile phone and mainland China ID card must be brought! !
Drinking water: One person needs about 4 bottles. Electrolyte water can be bought in advance, which is more expensive on the mountain. Mineral water can be bought on the mountain and is relatively cheap.
High-calorie foods: chocolate, beef jerky, bread, etc., but don’t bring too much, as it will increase the burden, there are also food available on the mountain.
Clothes: A windbreaker is a must for night climbing! (Depending on the season, the clothes you bring may vary.)
route:
①Go up from the west and go down from the north: It is suitable for those who don’t have much physical strength to climb the mountain during the day. Go up the mountain from the West Peak Cableway, and there are more downhills.
②Go north and west: suitable for those who have good physical strength and like to climb mountains. This is also a night climbing route. You have to hike all the way up from Yuquanyuan. It is almost all uphill steps, which is very tiring.
🚖 Transportation:
🚅 High-speed rail: Take the high-speed rail from Xi'an North Station to Huashan North Station, and then take a bus or taxi to Huashan Scenic Area.
🚍Long-distance bus: Take a long-distance bus to Huashan at Xi'an Bus Station or Xi'an Chengdong Bus Station.
🚘 Self-driving: If you have a car, you can drive to Huashan by yourself, but pay attention to road conditions and parking issues.
