Xi’an Trip Overview
Until recently there is only one way to reach the top of Huashan Mountain since ancient times. Most of the trail is very narrow and steep, some parts are almost vertical. Iron chains have been set up along the path. Recent developments have added two alternate ways of traveling to the summit. Now you can take the ropeway, or ride in a cable car to enjoy the unique scenery of Huashan Mountain. Huashan Mountain has more than two hundred places of interest and fascinating scenic spots. It has five main peaks including the South Peak (Landing Wild Goose Peak), the West Peak (Lotus Flower Peak), the East Peak (Facing Sun Peak), the Middle Peak (Pure Girl Peak) and the North Peak (Yuntai Peak). Each of them has its peculiar scene and moving legend.
