Huashan Mountain

𝐇𝐮𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 Take a long shot from Xian North Station to Huashan, then take a car to ‘Huashan Mountain’, one of the 5 great mountains in China, located in Shanxi Province. It is known for its beauty and steepness, with the highest peak being 2,160 meters above sea level, located in the south. It was formed by the movement of the earth’s crust 220-100 million years ago. It is considered the most dangerous mountain route because you have to walk along the edge of the cliff. There is a very steep hiking path, but there are also easy trails for those of us who like to relax. Let me tell you that you should clear your memory card and charge your camera because from the moment you step in, you almost don’t stop pressing the shutter. It is so beautiful and magical that you don’t want to miss a single second. For this trip, you can plan a 2-day hiking trip to capture the sunrise and sunset. But if you want to chill and enjoy the feel, we recommend doing like us: take the cable car up for about 10 minutes (if you walk, it will take more than 5-6 hours). At the top, there is a path connecting all 5 peaks: North Peak (Cloud Terrace Peak), the cable car we went up, South Peak (Landing Wild Geese Peak), West Peak (Lotus Flower Peak), Middle Peak (Jade Maiden Peak), and East Peak (Facing Sun Peak), the point where the cable car goes up on the other side. Each peak takes about 20-60 minutes to walk. We chose to settle down at North Peak because of our physical condition and time. Just walking, climbing, and taking pictures was already making us breathless. #TravelChina
