The Heavenly Lake of Xi'an
Cuihua Mountain is in the northern part of the Qinling Mountains, 20 km (12 miles) from downtown Xi'an. As a part of Zhongnanshan National Forest Park, Cuihua Mountain has been recommended as one of the top ten attractions in Xi'an since 1997.
Getting there: Cui Hua mountain sits just 40-minutes south of Xi'an city. You can get a taxi for about 130 RMB one way, or hop on the local bus from the subway stop Wei Qu Nan. The mountain has a beautiful lake called 'Heavenly Lake' where you can walk around it and take stunning photographs. A real visual treat.
There is a motorised car that can take you to the mountain spot from the entrance. The park is quite big and it's worth spending the majority of a day. Very clean facilities too.

Cuihua mountain (part 3) - Heaven Lake
Location: Cuihuashan, Xian, Shaanxi, China
Entrance fee: 65¥
Date: April 5, 2022
Another amazing thing that we can do in Cuihua mountain is riding a boat in the Heaven lake (天池).
If you want to ride a boat, there are different prices. As I went there with my friends, we paid 120¥ for 30minutes (it was for 4people). It means 30¥ per person. I think it was quite cheap and worthy.
Also you need to give 100¥ as a deposit, which you can get back when you finish riding the boat. Extra 5minutes will cost 20¥. Pay attention to the time, if you don’t want to be charged extra money:)
Walking around the lake or riding the boat is the best way of spending an awesome and unforgettable day here in Cuihua mountain.

Entrance fee: 65¥

Cuihua mountain is the best place where we can have a rest from a crowded and noisy city life.
I think spring is the best time for hiking. The weather is warm and nice. We can have a good rest, get a lot of positive energy and return to our daily life.
We can enjoy the incredible view of the nature, take beautiful pictures, breathe fresh air and have a picnic surrounded with green trees.

Cuihuashan - Cuihua Mountain - Xi’An 🇨🇳
Cuihuashan or Cuihua Mountains is probably the best plan for adventurous and sporty travellers visiting Xi’An.
It is located in remote serene surroundings. You need to arrange private transportation to get there as this Mountain is 20km away from the city’s down town. In my case I came with a tour so we were transported in buses everywhere in Xi’An, However, you can also go by public transport.
The whole place looks majestic in Autumn. The red, green, yellow, and orange decorative all the mountains.
You can perfectly plan to stay three or four nights of your holidays in Xi’An to enjoy this hike and visiting other landmarks and shows.
This place is surrounded with so much nature and fresh air that will make you feel recharged.
Make sure you bring comfortable shoes and some water, this site requires long walking around. It would take you probably between 3 to 4 hours to complete the hike at an easy pace. The place and the location are very scenic for those who love photography.

Cui Hua Mountain aka 翠华山 is located not far from Xi'an city and formally this area belongs to the Xi'an city but it is quite far away from the city center. Obviously it will take you to spend two and a half hour to get there by public transportation combining subway and buses. The place in fact is not very popular among tourists, so you will feel yourself there free and it could be described as touching the untamed nature which is rare chance to experience nowadays. I recommend the climbing with careful examination of all surroundings because this place gives an opportunity to get many beautiful pictures. Cui Hua Mountain is a part of Qingling mountain range standing as a colossal wall in Shaanxi plain. Amazing. And of course good option for camping.

When you go to Zhongnan Mountain, you must go to Cuihua Mountain. It is said that during the Zhou Youwang period, a major earthquake occurred in Guanzhong. Ganzichi and Cuihuafeng are the most severely damaged areas of landslides. A large number of collapsed piles are filled with valleys, intercepting water into lakes, forming two rare dammed lakes on the northern slope of the Qinling Mountains, namely the otter pond and the Ganzi pond. Cuihua Mountain has beautiful scenery, picturesque scenery and cool climate. The most fascinating is the Dianchi Lake. It is surrounded by mountains, blue waves, clear and mirror-like, and dust-free!

Come to Xi'an, visit the Spring Mountain - Cuihua Mountain
Cuihua Mountain is located in Taiyi Palace Street, Chang'an District, Xi'an City. Its unique karst landform creates a unique landscape, blending mountains, rocks, caves, water, and forests into a natural wonder that is both perilous and exquisite, like poetry and painting. It is a bright pearl of the Zhongnan Mountains on the northern slope of the Qinling Range.

Cuihua Mountain in Xi'an | World Geopark, witness the spectacle of mountain collapses and earth fissures
Cuihua Mountain is located in Taiyi Palace Town, Chang'an District, Xi'an City, as a branch of the Zhongnan Mountain, situated at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, 23 kilometers away from downtown Xi'an. The main peak is 2604 meters above sea level, covering an area of 32 square kilometers. Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once worshipped the Taiyi God here, it is also known as Taiyi Mountain. There is a Cuihua Temple on the mountainside, which houses the statue of the Cuihua maiden. According to folklore, the Cuihua maiden fled here to fight for her freedom of marriage, and later became an immortal and left, hence the mountain was named Cuihua Mountain.
Cuihua Mountain was formed by a massive earthquake-induced landslide and is famous for its landslide geomorphology. The earliest recorded earthquake and landslide in China occurred in the second year of King You of the Western Zhou Dynasty (780 BC), which strongly affected Cuihua Mountain. The Tianchi Lake and the landslide were at least formed during this earthquake in 780 BC. The landslide geomorphology of Cuihua Mountain mainly consists of barrier lakes (Tianchi Lake), landslide dams, collapsed stone seas, and remnant peaks and cliffs. The preservation of the landslide geomorphology is intact, which is very rare in China, hence it is known as the 'Landslide Geology Museum' and 'China's Landslide Wonder'. The main attractions include the barrier lake (Tianchi Lake), Ganqiu Pool, Geological Museum, and the ceremonial site where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshipped the Taiyi God.
The scenic area of Cuihua Mountain is very large, and it is unrealistic to visit all of it in one day. Depending on your own situation, choose a suitable hiking route that fits your ability. You can also drive to Tianchi Lake, where there is a parking lot, or you can choose to take a sightseeing bus to Tianchi Lake at the entrance of the scenic area.
