Cuihua Mountain Hiking Guide: Enjoy a Free and Easy Trip

Want to travel to Cuihua Mountain alone and enjoy the fun of hiking? You can conquer this charming mountain in just four hours. I will provide you with a detailed hiking guide. 💰Ticket Price: There are many ways to buy tickets. You can search for the relevant mini program on WeChat to buy e-tickets, or go to the visitor service center to buy paper tickets. Adult tickets are CNY 65, student tickets are only CNY 32, and seniors over 65 can enter for free. 🚉Transportation Guide: How to get to Cuihua Mountain 1. Carpool: Take the subway to Weiqu South Station Exit B or Changning Palace Station, and then carpool to the mountain. The carpool fee is about CNY 15–20 per person. Remember to negotiate the price with the driver. The whole journey takes about half an hour. 2. Bus + Taxi: Take the bus to Xi'an Fanyi University Station, and then take a Didi taxi to the mountain. The fare is about CNY 10. The whole journey takes about an hour and a half. 3. Scenic Area Bus: On weekends, there are direct buses to the scenic area at the subway entrance, and the fare is about CNY 15. After arriving at the scenic area, be sure to buy a shuttle bus ticket, which costs CNY 20 for a one-way trip. The distance from the entrance of the scenic area to the starting point of the hike is long, and walking will take a lot of time. When going down the mountain, you can choose to walk along the Eighteen Bends, and you don't need to take the shuttle bus again. Hiking Route Overview: Starting from the shuttle bus drop-off point, you will pass the Great Waterfall (about 100 meters from the shuttle bus stop), Tianchi, Wind Cave and Ice Cave, and Cuihua Peak, and finally reach the Eighteen Bends. During the hike, don't forget to bring a tripod, a bottle of water, chocolate, or some snacks in case of emergency. It took me 3 hours to climb up the mountain and 1 hour to go down. When climbing alone, safety is very important. Remember to rest while walking, take photos, explore caves, climb rocks, and enjoy leisure time. 📝Tips: Please set off early, preferably around 9 or 10 in the morning, so that you can avoid the heat and enjoy the natural scenery better. Also, make sure you don't have to go to work or school the next day so you can get plenty of rest. Tianchi Cuihua Mountain · Qinling Zhongnanshan Global Geopark
