I've hiked this. Recommend getting there as early as possible, hiking up, and taking the cable car down. By the time I was making my way down, there were 20 times more people coming up then there were when I headed up. Awesome place!!
You took the cable car? I attempted to completely finish the mountain on foot, from bottom to top and then top to bottom. Unfortunately, I only made it to the top on foot after 13 hours of just straight climbing throughout the night, 13 hours may seem a long time, but only half of what it takes. Did you climb the 1000 Steep stairs, one of the most famous features of Mt Hua?
In a world full of Google searches, Wikipedia, (and lots of free time), I am amazed that almost all of the videos come to a complete surprise and amaze me with every upload. Thanks you
I'm afraid of height but this one beyond description!! Just imagine the porter brought water up those hill!!Not to mention those who built it !! Admire with GREATEST RESPECT!
I saw a video on this place around a year ago and was most fascinated to learn how the walkway was created? I cannot fathom how any of this came to exist.
I hiked this during my sophomore year at Northwestern Polytechnical University in Xi'an and Hua Shan (Mount Hua) is in Weinan, very close to Xi'an. But i guess i love Taibai Shan (In Baoji) more because of it's more beautiful natural scenery. Don't get me wrong, Hua Shan is one of the most beautiful mountain and most difficult one too, specially if you want to hike it without using the Cable Car. It took us around 11+ hours of hiking up to the eastern peak from where you can see the heavenly sunrise and around 6+ hours of hiking down. A memory worth cherishing.
I went to mountain hua last year. I highly recommend going there for at least a couple of days to experience my family heritage and also the amazing views. You might think that it is just that tea House but there is so much more.
A cubic foot of water weighs slightly over 60 pounds. That guy probably has more than that. It might be close to 100 pounds he is carrying all that way. Pretty impressive, but in the long term I am not sure that is very good for his back.
That cup of tea better be pretty darn good for me to climb a freaking 6562 feet above ground! *yes, i know the point of climbing to Hua mountain is not for the tea*
The cable cars (3 of them!) Ruined this beautiful mountain and many others in China. Those places should be for those want to hike the mountains instead of just lifting to the top and spent few minutes to take some pictures. This is one of the holy mountain for daosim.
We had a man fall to his death...really? yes they said he was dying for a cup of tea! Talk about taking things to another level this place looks amazing! So you get buzzed with the caffeine from the tea an the altitude.
