Come here to conquer your fear of heights!

Mount Hua, formerly known as Taihua Mountain, is located south of Huayin City, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, and is the Western Mountain of the Five Great Mountains. It is known as the "Most Precarious Mountain under Heaven". The five peaks of Mount Hua are as sharp as knives, and there are many dangerous paths, such as the Changkong Plank Road. At the same time, Mount Hua is also a sacred place of Taoism with a profound cultural heritage. It also has the reputation of being the "Root of China", attracting countless tourists to challenge and explore. 🏔Itinerary - One-day tour: Suitable for travelers with limited time. Hike up the mountain from Yuquan Courtyard, pass through Qianchi Cliff and Baichi Gorge, challenge your limits all the way, and reach North Peak. Then head to Golden Lock Pass, and finally descend from West Peak by cable car. The whole journey covers the essence of Mount Hua. - Two-day tour: If you have plenty of time, a two-day tour is recommended. Take the cable car up to West Peak from the west gate in the afternoon of the first day, enjoy the sunset, and stay at a hotel on the mountain. Get up early the next day to watch the sunrise, then visit East Peak and South Peak, and finally descend from North Peak by cable car. The whole journey is relatively easy. 🚗Transportation - Self-driving: Navigate directly to the Mount Hua Tourist Center, where there are plenty of parking spaces. - High-speed rail: Take the high-speed train to Huashan North Station. There are buses or taxis directly to the scenic spot after exiting the station, which takes about 20 minutes. 🌄Attractions - Changkong Plank Road: This is where you truly conquer your fear of heights! Narrow wooden planks hang over a deep abyss, and every step makes your heart race. Not recommended for the faint of heart. -鹞子翻身 (Harrier Turns Back): Extremely difficult, requiring the use of both hands and feet. After descending, you can see the Chess Pavilion, which offers stunning scenery. - West Peak: The most beautiful peak of Mount Hua. The legend of Chenxiang splitting the mountain to save his mother took place here. Standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking the rolling sea of clouds, you will feel like you are in a fairyland. 🍱Food - At the foot of Mount Hua: There are many local snacks, such as Liangpi, Rou Jia Mo, and Yang Rou Pao Mo, which are authentic and affordable. - On the mountain: Prices are higher, but basic foods such as instant noodles and grilled sausages are available. There is also a special "Ping'an Bing" (Safety Cake) of Mount Hua, which you can try. 📌Tips - Purchase tickets in advance on the official WeChat account "Mount Hua Tourism Service Platform" to avoid queuing on site. - Be sure to wear comfortable sneakers, as the steps on the mountain are steep. Safety first. - Bring enough water and snacks to replenish your energy during the climb.
