Day3 Xi 'an – Huashan Mountain – Xi' an: A one-day tour of Huashan Mountain

 

Meal service: breakfast included

Accommodation: Xi'an city center


After breakfast, you will travel 118 kilometers (approximately 1.5–2 hours) by vehicle to visit Mount Hua, one of China's five famous mountains. Mount Hua is not only the cradle of Chinese civilization but also a sacred site of the Quanzhen School, the mainstream Taoist sect in China. Comprising five peaks, it enjoys the reputation as "the most spectacular and perilous mountain in the world" and stands out among China's Five Great Mountains for its exceptionally beautiful scenery, dramatic terrain, and high difficulty level for climbing.
Today's recommended hiking route on Mount Hua: Cable car – North Peak – Canglong Ridge – Middle Peak – East Peak – Changkong Trail – South Peak – West Peak – back to cable car, taking approximately 6–7 hours.
First, take a bus from the visitor center to the base of Huashan's North Peak (approximately 20 minutes), then board a cable car for a direct ride to the summit (Yuntai Peak) in about 10 minutes. From there, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding majestic mountains and the other four peaks. Next, hike along Canglong Ridge, traversing a sharp, blade-shaped ridge flanked by sheer cliffs that seem bottomless—a truly perilous journey.
After reaching Jin Suo Pass, you'll see countless red silk ribbons and golden locks symbolizing love and wishes hanging from iron chains along both sides of the road. Continue toward Zhongfeng (Jade Maiden Peak), where a 40-minute hike leads to Dongfeng (Sunrise Peak)—the perfect vantage point for viewing Mount Hua's sunrise. Next comes the most challenging section of this trek: the Changkong Plank Road, which spans sheer cliffs supported solely by iron chains and wooden planks, earning it recognition as one of the world's most dangerous hiking routes. (Note: Walking this path takes approximately 30 minutes and requires considerable courage; those without hiking experience or acrophobia should consider alternative routes.) Finally, reach Nanfeng (Falling Wild Goose Peak), Mount Hua's highest summit at 2,154.9 meters above sea level, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. After completing this section, continue for another 30 minutes to Xifeng (Lotus Peak), where visitors can explore attractions like Cuiyun Palace and the Ax-Cut Rock, while also hearing the legendary story of Chenxiang's rescue of his mother by splitting through the mountain.
Afterward, walk for about 20 minutes to reach the Xishan Cable Car Station and take the cable car down the mountain (approximately 20 minutes). During the ride, you'll have the chance to enjoy a final view of Mount Hua's beauty. Upon arrival at the base of the mountain, take a vehicle back to your hotel in Xi'an for check-in and rest.
hint
Due to limited facilities on Mount Hua, it is recommended to bring your own food and beverages. The Changkong Plank Road may be temporarily closed for maintenance or due to adverse weather conditions, and alternative routes will be provided. During the peak tourist season, Mount Hua experiences high visitor numbers, and queues may form when ascending the mountain.
