"Huashan has been known as the first mountain in the world since ancient times. The mountain is not high, but the scenery is extraordinary, especially at sunrise and sunset. The steeper mountain road is along the direction of the Beifeng Tunnel, and some of the stone ladders are almost straight up and down."
Highlights: Mount Hua(Huashan), one of China's five sacred mountains is located in Western China, in the territory of Huayin City, 120km away from Xi An. The mountain has five main peaks —a North, South, East, West, and Center. It has a Plank Walk located at South Peak that is considered by many to be one of the most dangerous hikes in the world. Hikers who challenge it will have to traverse paths made up of narrow planks of wood bolted to the side of a cliff, 2000 feet in the air. Even though there are harnesses attached to all hikers challenging the path, the experience is still one of the most thrilling on earth! Besides that, the mountain is also famous for its narrow pathways and steep stairways. If you are someone that is looking for a challenging hike, Huashan is definitely one of the toughest available out there. Just make sure that safety is your utmost priority. Watch your steps and stay alert during the hike!

"Take a car from the city, then transfer to a bus, and get off at a place far from the attraction. Finally, take a motorcycle to get to the scenic spot.

"20230407 All day: 1. "Tianyuan Place" is located in the "Taibai Mountain" in the scenic spot of 5A. Taibai Mountain is the main mountain range of Qinling Mountains. The north-south dividing line of China is magnificent and magnificent. The top of the mountain is covered by ice and snow throughout the year, including midsummer. The "Taibai Snow June Day" has been one of the "Guanzhong Eight Scenes" since ancient times. The peak altitude is 3,767 meters, and the vegetation is dense and wildlife is dense. It is not only a health and fitness holy place, but also a small fortunate to encounter various wildlife. In history, there are "Poetry Fairy" Li Bai, "Poetry Sheng" Du Fu, "One of the eight Tang and Song Everyone" Su Yu and Han Yu, "The King of Medicine" Sun Siqi, and the rumored Zhou Wenwang, Tang Xuanzong, Ghost Valley, Jiang Ziya and other celebrities footprints, Xia Shang period called "Wushan", Zhou Dynasty called "Taiyi Mountain", Wei Jin later called Taibai Mountain, every year on July 1, there is Taibai Mountain Temple Fair. ① Address: intersection of Central Avenue and Yingbin Avenue, Tangyu Town, Meixian County, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province. ② Transportation: The bus is direct, and the driving is very good. ③ peak season: No, there are snow scenes during most of the year, and summer can escape the heat. ④ Duration: 1-2 days. ⑤ Note: According to the weather conditions, the tourist center of the scenic spot will announce the open area of the day at 8:30 every day. If you want to climb to the top, you need to pay attention to the weather forecast and choose to go to the scenic spot on a sunny day. 2. The Panshan Highway from the "Visitor Center" to the ropeway station in the scenic area is more than 30 kilometers, which also means that tourists must take the scenic shuttle bus, 60 yuan to and from the scenic area, and the price is too long. The scenic spot is roughly divided into 3 sections: the first section is the visitor center to the ropeway station, and there are two Taibai Mountain cableways: "the world ropeway" from the next station "red ping" directly to the upper station "the round place" (because this place is 3511 meters above sea level, commonly known as "3511"), you can take a step to the most labor-saving time, plan to climb the top of the day must sit. 3. Arrived at Hongyanping Cableway Station, I bought a one-way ticket to the mountain for 120 yuan, and a round trip for 230 yuan. Slowly lifted up, the peak gradually enlarged from the grain of rice, there is a feeling of rising immortals, the ground is getting smaller and smaller, the legs and feet can't help but be soft, the coniferous forest on both sides is like the armor of hedgehogs, proudly standing in the snow, vast and magnificent, It is a great angle to take pictures of the Qinling Mountains from a medium distance. The Dolls on the ropeway station are very creative. 4, after the down ropeway, in fact, you have to walk 1 km of flat road to 3511, at this time already on the ridge, you can experience the strange feeling of the south on one side, the north on the other side, looking up at the sky as a cover, looking down at the earth as a disk, so the name of the sky is the place. The coniferous forests on both sides of the snow are very spectacular. I came to the closed iron plaque without knowing it. I was forbidden to go further. I could look far away at the "Xiaowengong Temple" on the stretching mountains, but I could not see the peak, that is, the "Pu Sendai" at an altitude of 3767 meters. Pu Sendai is5.2 kilometers away from Xiaowengong Temple in a straight line. But the mountain road is awkward, the actual length is longer, to climb the top must be brushed twice."
