Want to travel to Xi'an! Be sure to save this guide!

stay Near the Bell and Drum Tower: Xi'an city center, the advantage is that it is close to the scenic spots and the Muslim Street Food Street, but the disadvantage is that the price is high, there are many people and cars, and there are serious traffic jams during peak hours. Near Yongning Gate: 1 station away from the Bell and Drum Towers, the price is about the same as the Bell and Drum Towers, the advantage is convenient transportation and a wide range of delicious food Near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda: Very close to the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City and the Tang Dynasty Furong Garden. It is convenient for watching the night view. It is also convenient to take a subway or taxi around. Near high-speed rail station/Xi'an Station: transportation to scenic spots is also convenient Four-day tour classic route: 1 Arrive in Xi'an - Check into the hotel I’m too tired from driving. I’ll take a nice rest after landing, and then go out for a stroll in the evening. ~ 2 Terracotta Warriors-Huaqing Palace-The Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty-Song of Everlasting Sorrow The tour guide explains the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, and the experience is different! Go to Datang Evernight City in the evening and there are many performances there. It is very lively. Don’t miss it. 3Ming Dynasty City Wall-Big Wild Goose Pagoda-Bell and Drum Tower-Muslim Street You can rent a bicycle to enjoy the scenery at the city wall, otherwise you will be too tired to walk. Going to the Bell and Drum Tower at night is very photogenic when the lights are on. Sisters who want to take pictures of Hanfu, don’t miss it. There are many snacks in Huimin Street~ 4Huashan-Return Huashan Mountain is a bit steep, but the scenery is super beautiful. Remember to wear sneakers. If you are lucky, you can also see the sea of ​​clouds. There is a ropeway, and you can walk up it on your own~ Xi'an travel lightning protection suggestions You can often see people wearing strange clothes near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. If you want to take a photo with you, there is actually a fee. Don't buy Xi'an specialties near major scenic spots. They are expensive. It is recommended to go to local supermarkets, which are economical and affordable. The Tang Dynasty Never Sleeps City at night has a high photo production rate, so don’t go there during the day as it has a strong commercial atmosphere. Most of the scenic spots in Xi'an require tickets. If you have a student ID card, remember to bring it with you. It's very important! The Internet celebrity snack Brush Pastry is expensive and I personally don’t think it tastes good, so don’t buy it. Huimin Street is heavily commercialized. Most of the people who check in are foreign tourists. Please take care of your belongings. If Baozi is going to Xi'an for the first time and doesn't want to do a guide but can't book a hotel, he can sign up for a local tuan for fun, which will save him a lot of worry, especially when watching the Song of Everlasting Sorrow show at night. The last one was after 11 o'clock, and there is no subway. It is inconvenient to go back to the city. But you must be careful when signing up for a group tour to avoid the pitfalls of low-priced tours! If you need it! I can recommend it to everyone. ~

Since ancient times, there has been only one way to Huashan, how to choose between ascending from the west and descending from the north or ascending from the north and descending from the west

🏔 One-day tour of Huashan, departing from Xi'an, leave at 7 am and return at 7 pm, climb and finish on the same day, and your legs will be disabled for two days afterwards. 1⃣ Tour Route 🔹 Ascend from the west and descend from the north: The classic route, takes about 5-7 hours. Less climbing and more descending. The essence is concentrated in the first half of the journey on the West Peak cable car and the ascent to the South Peak. It's the preferred choice for those who don't exercise regularly; don't trouble yourself by choosing to ascend from the north and descend from the west. I was grateful countless times for not choosing the latter when I descended from the north. 🔹 Ascend from the north and descend from the west: The challenger's route, takes about 6-8 hours. Basically climbing all the way up. It takes 2-3 hours to reach Jinsuo Pass by the ancient Huashan path. The essence is concentrated in the latter half, and descending by the West Peak cable car is very refreshing. Suitable for those who exercise regularly. 🔹 Ascend and descend from the west: The elderly route, takes about 3-5 hours. Those who find it tiring can take their time and only visit the two most beautiful sceneries of the West Peak and South Peak. The most classic scenery is concentrated on the West Peak cable car. 🔹 Night climbing route: Start climbing from the North Peak at eight or nine in the evening, and reach the East Peak to watch the sunrise 🌄 at four or five in the morning. There are many people and lights along the way, suitable for college students and special forces. 2⃣ Scenic Spots Check-in 🔹 West Peak: Lotus Peak, the spot where Chen Xiang split the mountain to save his mother. The West Peak cable car is yyds❗️ Deservedly the TOP1 cable car in Asia, with first-class scenery, extremely shocking upon arrival. 🔹 South Peak: The highest peak among the Five Great Mountains, Changkong Plank Walk (those who start climbing after 10 am can go directly to queue, otherwise it's a two-hour wait at least, and by the time you're done, it's time to descend). 🔹 East Peak: Chaoyang Peak, watch the sunrise 🌄, and Yazi Flipping Over (a substitute for the Changkong Plank Walk). 🔹 Central Peak: Jade Maiden Peak, quite ordinary. 🔹 North Peak: Yuntai Peak, the only path since ancient times. Before the West Peak cable car opened in 2013, only the North Peak was accessible, and this section of the North Peak is also the best representation of the danger and uniqueness of Huashan. 3⃣ Costs 🔹 Ticket: 💰160 peak season/100 off-season 🔹 Scenic shuttle bus: West Peak 💰40/North Peak 💰20 🔹 Cable car: West Peak cable car 💰140/North Peak cable car 💰80 🔹 High-speed train🚄: 💰54.5 from Xi'an North to Huashan North 🔹 Group tour: Most cost-effective, includes city pick-up and drop-off, the group fee is basically the same as the self-paid costs mentioned above. ⚠️ Precautions 🔹 Gloves are a must-buy at the foot of the mountain❗️ Rely on gloves to grab the chains, anti-slip and also clean. 🔹 Walking sticks can be brought or not, they are somewhat useful when descending the North Peak, but otherwise not very useful. 🔹 Pay attention to anti-slip, there is still snow on the mountain in March, and it can be slippery after melting. If it's really not manageable, buy anti-slip crampons at the foot of the mountain to cover your shoes. 🔹 There's no need to bring too much food, two bottles of sports drinks are enough, and just two pieces of ham and chocolate. Water can be bought on the mountain. 🔹 Make sure to have a power bank ready, as taking photos along the way will quickly drain your phone's battery. 🔹 The extra audio guide for group tours is not necessary. Although there are introductions, I was either gasping from climbing or taking photos along the way, and I hardly listened. 🔹 Apart from night climbing, there's no need to wear too much, just dress as you would in Xi'an. It's a bit cool when you first get on the mountain, but once you start climbing, you'll sweat profusely. 🔹 Don't go to the toilets on the mountain❗️ They are extremely suffocating, and because you sweat a lot while climbing, you won't need to go to the toilet much, so just go before the cable car. 🔹 Be sure to stretch before getting on the bus after descending❗️

The upcoming adventure is a spring day on Mount Hua in March | Climbing to the top to enjoy the flowers

Because it is a team-building trip, we chose the popular route 'West up, North down' + cable car buff For those who exercise regularly, this route is quite relaxing, feeling like it's just a warm-up before it's over, and the rest is mostly downhill, which is not knee-friendly. For those who are not used to exercising, it can still be tiring, and we encountered guys cramping their legs on the way down the mountain Mount Hua is known for its steepness, and taking the cable car up the West Peak is really thrilling. The moment the mountain structure gradually comes into view as the cable car ascends is stunning, but those who are afraid of heights might be scared. The 🌲 Chinese pines, Mount Hua pines, and peach blossoms 🌸 on the mountain peaks create a picturesque scene, and there is still some unmelted snow on the mountain. The spring breeze is so comfortable, and it's amazing to walk and admire the view along the way, it would be even more breathtaking if there were a sea of clouds The overall route is well-established, and as long as you don't climb over the barriers and hold onto the chains properly, it's generally safe Finally, I picked up two pine cones on the mountain as souvenirs from Mount Hua～🥳 🌸Suggestions: 1. For those who exercise less and have poor physical strength, it is recommended to take the 'West up, North down' route + cable car. After the South Peak, it's all downhill stairs, try to bring knee pads to reduce pressure 2. For those who exercise regularly and enjoy hiking, it is recommended to go 'North up, West down'. The climbing process is more enjoyable, and it's actually more knee-friendly for those with bad knees 3. The weather was clear on the day of the hike, and it was not cold on the mountain. A quick-dry shirt + a softshell jacket/thin coat for spring and autumn is enough. You can check the weather of Mount Hua on the official account 'Mount Hua Tourism Service Platform' 4. Pay attention to sun protection, as some sections are unshaded and can be quite sunny 5. You need to bring gloves 🧤, a backpack, soft-soled non-slip hiking shoes, a power bank, and an adequate amount of food and water. There are several supply points on the mountain, and I think the prices are reasonable 6. You can bring some cat food, as there are many clingy cats on Mount Hua 🤤 7. Souvenirs on the mountain get cheaper the further down you go. Tourists from other places should never buy swords 🗡, as they are not even allowed in checked baggage on planes. 8. Don't walk and take photos at the same time, take photos without walking, and don't do dangerous actions just for the sake of taking pictures. Be sure to give way to pedestrians️

Mount Hua in Shaanxi | The most dangerous mountain in the world

⚠️Precautions: 1️⃣Weather: Check the weather in advance on the official blog of 'Mount Hua Scenic Area' and choose a suitable weather to start. 2️⃣Water: Water is too heavy, don't bring too much! Don't worry too much about the high prices on the mountain, they are all within an acceptable range. 3️⃣Food: The climbing process is too tiring, not too hungry and don't want to eat too much. Before departure, I prepared some small snacks like Snickers, ham sausage, bread compressed biscuits, which are basically sold on the mountain, and the price is more expensive than usual, which is understandable. 4️⃣Clothes: Just wear a T-shirt and sweatshirt for climbing. The climbing process will be very hot, and the temperature on the top of the mountain will be very low, so you need to bring thick clothes! 5️⃣Gloves: They will be used when holding the iron chain. The supermarket at the foot of the mountain sells a pair for two yuan. It will be very tired later, so you can use your hands and feet directly. 6️⃣Headlight: It is necessary for night climbing! Some places have no lights, and the battery is 15 at the foot of the mountain. We used our mobile phones to light the way all the way, don't mention how troublesome it was. (Climbing stick: Say it three times, no need, no need, no need‼️) 7️⃣Photography: Girls generally don't wear makeup when they climb at night, so sunglasses, masks and hats are necessary! You will sweat during the climbing process, and it is overnight, so it is not recommended to wear contact lenses, wear them when you reach the top. Selfie sticks and tripods depend on personal circumstances. 8️⃣Essentials: ID card, student card, power bank, data cable, tissues, wet wipes. ⚠️Tour route: 〰️Go north and west〰️ Yuquan Courtyard-North Peak-Central Peak-East Peak (sunrise)-West Peak-Tourist Center. ⚠️About the cost: Xi'an North-Mount Hua North: Round trip 109💰. Tickets: Students 80💰, adults 160💰. West Peak Cable Car: Students 126💰, adults 140💰. Downhill bus: 40/person💰. Carpool high-speed rail station: 5/person💰. ⚠️Small tips: It's best to have a companion if you're alone, it's safe and not boring along the way. The initial part of the climb is not tiring, you need to save your energy, the later part is very steep and consumes a lot of energy!

‘The deadliest trek in the world!’ 😱

Looking for a #newyearadventure ? Then I can’t recommend Hua Shan enough! This is a bucket list destination! Try to book accommodation close to the park entrance if you want to avoid the queues. We were extremely lucky because the park was closed for the previous 3 days due to weather and they opened it at 9am very last minute. Wasn’t more than 50 people on the whole mountain! However I’ve heard queues can be brutally long (up to 3 hours during peak times) for the walkway planks so best to get there as early as possible and head straight to the walkway. Hiking from the bottom is possible and would allow you to enjoy the scenery with few people around however personally i would recommend taking the chairlift to the top and hiking down if you want the best chances of avoiding the queues. There are places to get a snack on the mountain so no need to bring supplies.

One day in Huashan mountian

#chinatrip #huashan #china #mountain A bit about Mount Hua (Huashan), There is one of China's Five Great Mountains, located in Shaanxi Province near the city of Huayin. Known for its steep, dramatic cliffs and stunning views, Huashan is famous for both its natural beauty and cultural significance. There have five main peaks, each with its own distinct character, the tallest being South Peak, which rises to 2,154 meters (7,067 feet). The most famous trail is the plank walk, often referred to as one of the world’s most dangerous hiking trails😱 due to its narrow pathways and sheer drops but unluckily, it was too cloudy that day. I couldn't do it. Normally for spend the time there, you should have 5-6 hours for cover 5 peaks. But you can choose the way to go. For me South and east peak are very stunning view. Transport : High speed train🚄 to Huashan north railway staion, then take a bus to main ticket officer. There will have bus🚍 and cable car🚡 to the top. Seperate to North peak and West peak. *For everyone who don't want to walk much. I suggest to start at West peak. Also the cable car very incradible human made through high mountain. Recommend place : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐5/5 Difficult level walking : ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5

The second of the Five Great Mountains - Mount Hua, a dangerous mountain with beautiful scenery.

For the second stop in Shaanxi, I chose Mount Hua. I took a high-speed train from Xi'an to Huashan North Station in 28 minutes and chose to take the cable car up the north side and down the west side of the mountain. The second of the Five Great Mountains - Mount Hua, a dangerous mountain with beautiful scenery. It's really worth a visit!

Xi'an Departure, Huashan Short Break "Micro" Queueing Guide.

🏞 Huashan, one of the five sacred mountains known for its steepness, attracts countless tourists to challenge during holidays. But want to avoid the国庆假期 crowds and enjoy a spontaneous trip? This guide is a must-read! 📅 Best Travel Time During holidays, try to arrive at the foot of Huashan one night in advance to get a head start! Especially during the ticket check time period of 7:00-8:00 am, this is when the queue is the shortest. Of course, staying in Xi'an city center is also an option. This time, I took the first bullet train to Huashan North Station. After exiting the station, don't hesitate! Taxis soliciting customers on the street charge 10 yuan per person. As long as they can leave immediately, go for it! Although it costs more than taking the bus, the time saved is beneficial to your overall itinerary. It turned out that the total queuing time for my Huashan trip during this holiday period did not exceed 40 minutes. This is very friendly considering the crowds on Huashan during holidays~ 🚶‍♀️ Route Recommendation West Up North Down: Classic one-day tour route, time-saving and effortless!
