Weinan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Mount Hua Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Mount Hua in Shaanxi | The most dangerous mountain in the world
⚠️Precautions:
1️⃣Weather: Check the weather in advance on the official blog of 'Mount Hua Scenic Area' and choose a suitable weather to start.
2️⃣Water: Water is too heavy, don't bring too much! Don't worry too much about the high prices on the mountain, they are all within an acceptable range.
3️⃣Food: The climbing process is too tiring, not too hungry and don't want to eat too much. Before departure, I prepared some small snacks like Snickers, ham sausage, bread compressed biscuits, which are basically sold on the mountain, and the price is more expensive than usual, which is understandable.
4️⃣Clothes: Just wear a T-shirt and sweatshirt for climbing. The climbing process will be very hot, and the temperature on the top of the mountain will be very low, so you need to bring thick clothes!
5️⃣Gloves: They will be used when holding the iron chain. The supermarket at the foot of the mountain sells a pair for two yuan. It will be very tired later, so you can use your hands and feet directly.
6️⃣Headlight: It is necessary for night climbing! Some places have no lights, and the battery is 15 at the foot of the mountain. We used our mobile phones to light the way all the way, don't mention how troublesome it was. (Climbing stick: Say it three times, no need, no need, no need‼️)
7️⃣Photography: Girls generally don't wear makeup when they climb at night, so sunglasses, masks and hats are necessary! You will sweat during the climbing process, and it is overnight, so it is not recommended to wear contact lenses, wear them when you reach the top. Selfie sticks and tripods depend on personal circumstances.
8️⃣Essentials: ID card, student card, power bank, data cable, tissues, wet wipes.
⚠️Tour route:
〰️Go north and west〰️
Yuquan Courtyard-North Peak-Central Peak-East Peak (sunrise)-West Peak-Tourist Center.
⚠️About the cost:
Xi'an North-Mount Hua North: Round trip 109💰.
Tickets: Students 80💰, adults 160💰.
West Peak Cable Car: Students 126💰, adults 140💰.
Downhill bus: 40/person💰.
Carpool high-speed rail station: 5/person💰.
⚠️Small tips:
It's best to have a companion if you're alone, it's safe and not boring along the way.
The initial part of the climb is not tiring, you need to save your energy, the later part is very steep and consumes a lot of energy!

Huashan Mountain-Hike in Shaanxi
A short train ride from Xi'An, Huashan mountain is one of the famous “Five Mountains” in China. 🏔️
Hiking on Huashan Mountain is very popular and many Chinese want to visit the mountain. On the top are various small tempels, view points and walking routes.
🚄 I took an early morning train from Xi'An and rested a little on the train. From the train station it's a short bus ride to the entrance of the mountain.
🚶I climbed the whole way, but there also is cable car, in case you want to save some time.
🎫 150-230 RMB depending on the season. ❗Huashan is open 24hours and many people choose to climb the mountain during the night.

In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1640), Xue Guoguan, the prime minister of the city, proposed to the court for approval, advocating local officials and gentlemen to donate funds to change the soil city wall into a brick city wall. The four city gates are inscribed with 'East with the Yellow River', 'Liang Yi West Lapel', 'Pubei Hancheng', and 'Longmen Shengdi'. In order to protect the ancient city, the municipal government made a decision in the early 1980s to protect the ancient city area and build a new city area, so that the ancient streets are well protected.
