"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 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!

"The water is very good and crystal clear. I have been here once in summer and late autumn, and I feel that autumn is still good. The color is more layered, there are fewer people, and it is more quiet. The advantage of summer is that you can play in the water. The water source in Xi'an City is really good. There are signs along the way saying that you are not allowed to play in the water, but there are still many people playing. There are also some water bottles, plastic bags and the like in the water, which looks sad. In addition, I think this scenic spot can come to travel and control the number of people. And can't do farmhouse and other dining, too much pollution, the old county is doing farmhouses, more and more tourists, more and more garbage, I don't know how to deal with it. The road to the old county is only one, very narrow, and many places can't get a car. Driving a big car will be exhausted, it is recommended to drive a small car, polo, flying degree and so on is very easy."
