[2025 Huayin Attraction] Travel Guide for Huashan West Peak Cableway (Updated Mar)

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

I clearly remember that after I climbed Mount Huashan 10 years ago, my legs ached for a week when I could not climb the stairs. Ten years have passed in a flash, and the mountain I see now is still the same mountain, majestic and magnificent as before. Perseverance is here. I just chose another path. Take the Xifeng Cableway to see it. I strongly recommend that you take the cable car to see the scenery, especially the West Peak cable car, where you can see the whole picture and the soul-stirring charm. When I got to the mountain, I felt the same as I did back then, except that I’m older and have a different perception of life, and the scenery seems even more beautiful to me.

Mount Huashan is famous as one of the most dangerous mountains to hike, and is well known for its plank walk. We entered the mountains through the west peak, and it was definitely one of the highlights of the day. The cable car goes so high, it's impressive. the views you experience during the 20 minutes ride are breathtaking. Once we arrived, we started to walk directly to the south peak hoping to escape the crowds, to no avail. It definitely gets worse once you arrive at the plank road. We wanted to experience it but gave up as we were informed that the waiting time would be at least 6 hours. We went on to another spot and queued for another activity. After lining up for an hour, we also gave up as the waiting time was of 2 hours at the very least. Although we couldn't experience the adventurous activities, we definitely enjoyed our time here. If we had to go back, we would sleep one day there or in the city and take the first bus/cable car at the opening, in order to avoid the crowds. Getting back to the train station was a bit complicated. We found the bus stop for the free shuttle on one of the street exciting the roundabout at the entrance (all other buses were going to Xi'an). Tips for travellers: ⭐ arrive as early as possible ⭐ if you don't want to go up most of the time, then enter from the West Peak. ⭐ avoid weekends as you'll spend your time waiting to go up and down the stairs, which can get frustrating. ⭐ buy anti-slippery gloves prior #huashan
