I will stand atop Mount Hua and look down upon all the other mountains as tiny!!

I will reach the summit and look down upon all the other mountains as tiny🏞! Compared to the other four great mountains, Mount Hua is arguably the most difficult🗻. Here, there are no forests bathed in gentle sunlight🌲, no gentle breezes over rippling lakes🦋, only the steep and perilous peaks🏔. The South Peak of Mount Hua is the highest among the five peaks, crowned as 'The Unmatched Summit of Mount Hua,' reaching straight into the sky, an awe-inspiring sight😮. 🚗Travel: ①Self-driving: Navigate directly to the corresponding ticket checkpoint🚙. ②High-speed train: Choose the destination 'Huashan North' station🚄, after getting off at Huashan high-speed train station, take the free bus route 2/1 to Huashan Tourist Center🚌. ③Train: Choose the destination 'Huashan Station'🚆, after getting off the train, take a bus or taxi to Huashan Tourist Center or Yuquan Courtyard🚕. ✅Main text: 1. Book tickets in advance on the 'Huashan Tourism Service Platform,' as there are no tickets sold on-site🎟. 2. The cable car and the hiking trail are not in the same place; the hiking trail starts at 'Yuquan Courtyard-Huashan Gate'🗺. 3. This time I took the route from Yuquan Courtyard up and the West Peak cable car down, planning to catch the last cable car down the mountain. I started at 9 am from Yuquan Gate, reached the North Peak around 11:50 am (average 3-4 hours depending on personal fitness🕖), arrived at the East Peak at 1:45 pm, queued for the Plank Walk at 4:30 pm, and took the West cable car down the mountain at 5:55 pm⌚. 4. Along the way, there are many snack bars🍜, with fruits, instant noodles, and drinks. The grilled sausages are delicious😋, I had 5 sticks. 5. Mount Hua has five peaks: South, North, East, West, and Central, each with different climbing difficulties and beautiful views🌈. This time I came for the Plank Walk, which I think was the most worthwhile part of the trip, very fun and exciting🎠, and not scary at all. After the Plank Walk, due to time constraints, I went straight to the West Peak to take the cable car down (the West Peak cable car ends at 6:00 pm in winter🕕) ⚠Practical advice: Be sure to prepare gloves and a walking stick🏑 in advance, as climbing Mount Hua often requires the use of both hands and feet. Also, bring a hat and sunglasses🧤🧢 for great photos📸! It's advised to buy food and water at the foot of the mountain🍐🥤, and bring a thermos for some hot water☕, as things are a bit expensive on the mountain, a bowl of instant noodles costs 25💰! Before going to Mount Hua, be sure to check the weather☁, as the weather is very important for climbing. Good weather can really reveal beautiful scenery🌅, and it's definitely worth the trip!
