MOUNT HUASHAN
Huashan is one of the five sacred mountains of China. The mount is famous for its four steep granite peaks that resemble a lotus flower (hence its name that means "Mountain of Flowers"). The landscape that jalonneront your hiking is very beautiful. You climb for 7 km to reach the first peak. It takes about 4 hours. It will take you a little more than an hour to reach one of the other three peaks. The south reaches 2 200 m above sea level, but the others offer beautiful views also… and you can then join the three peaks. From northern peak a trail links summits, but there are narrow passages that can be dangerous in bad weather. Traditionally, the Chinese are leaving the evening with lanterns to get to the top of the sun, particularly famous. The sunrise is beautiful but no more. The landscapes have much more interest.

Members' reviews on MOUNT HUASHAN

Dormitories are quite expensive (on the peak Is: about 100 yuan, no shower, linen which leaves something to be desired). Also if the weather is nice, do not hesitate to take a sleeping bag to sleep under, so you see the sunrise. Bring warm clothes, it is cold night. There are many places where you can be perfectly quiet to spend the night.
Plan a day and a half to see the entire mountain, avoid trips organised that will be expensive. You can catch the bus that leaves the station xi'an (huochezhan??) directly in Huashan? (between 2:00 and 3:00 depending on traffic = 22 yuan). The ticket is served in the bus directly located close to bus 306 (energy with terracotta). The entrance is 100 yuan for an adult, 60 yuan student. The cable car is excessively expensive, 80 yuan a one-way. Put-with- share these aspects practical, it is one of the most beautiful sites than I saw until now and strongly recommended. :)
Le prix n'est pas donné mais cela vaut réellement le détour pour voir des paysages fabuleux.
Ne vous attendez pas à être seul, au calme ….vous êtes en Chine. Sur certains tronçons, il est impossible de se croiser il faut attendre sur des chemins étroits parfois glissants.
Nous avons pris le train de Xian la veille au soir et avons logé dans un hôtel à Huayin Shi afin d’être à pied d’œuvre avant la majorité des touristes d’un jour. Nous sommes montés côté Nord, pour rejoindre les 3 autres pics par les nombreux chemins escarpés en montée et descente. Ne pas manquer la descente en téléphérique côté Ouest. Vue à couper le souffle.
