Huayin travel guide

They say it is the most dangerous mountain to climb.
whether this is true or not, you have to discover yourself. But be prepared for a 6 hour walk in the night for the best experience (and amazing sunset).

So many epic spots on the hike to the Mt Huanshan summits

Getting to Mt Huashan from Xian was a challenge, but the reward was great. the views you get from this Taoist sacred mountain are unbelievable. Making it to the 5 peaks was an exhausting workout but the whole experience was a blast.

Huashan is about 120 km east of Xian, about 2/12 to 3 hrs ride from the city.

Five peaks make up this mountain, namely : Cloud Terrace Pea (North Peak, 1610 m), Jade Maiden Peak (Middle Peak, 2040 m ), Sunrise Peak (East Peak, 2100 m), Lotus Peak (West Peak , 2040 m), and Landing Wild Goose Peak (South Peak, 2160 m ).

This mountain has steep, vertical cliffs and plunging ravines . The views are breathtaking but definitely not for the acrophobic and the faint-hearted.
We took the cable car to The North Peak, was the most amazing cable car ride i'd ever been on. It's very steep and very high !

I wonder how some people manage to hike up the mountain, I take my hat off to them.

Known as the most precipitous mountain under heaven, Mt. Huashan in Huayin City, China is a natural wonder to behold. Standing 2,154 meters tall, the Hua is widely known for its breathtaking cliff faces and sharp crags in its high mountain range, posing a tough challenge to the mountaineers who dare to conquer it.

Mt. Huashan is famous for the hiking trail known as the “Death Trail”. Many tourists call it “the most dangerous hiking trail in the world” because of its narrow passes made only of wooden planks and carved rock faces. Climbers do not need any technical skill to go on the hike, but extreme caution is advised. Besides the rusty chain handles and the worn wooden pass, the biggest danger to safety is often the overcrowding during summer season. Many tourists pilgrimage to Mt. Huashan for its many historical Taoist monasteries as one of the five sacred Taoist mountains of China. It is also the centre for the practice of traditional Chinese martial arts.
