　　Huashan is located in the Qinling Mountain Range, which lies in southern Shaanxi province.

　　Huashan (Hua means brilliant, Chinese, or flowery; shan means mountain) is one of the five sacred Taoist mountains in China. Huashan boasts a lot of religious sites: Taoist temples, pavilions, and engraved scriptures are scattered over the mountain.

　　Hua Mountain is well-known for its sheer cliffs and plunging ravines. It is known as “the most precipitous mountain under heaven” and is probably the most dangerous mountain in the world frequented by hikers.

　　Hua Mountain is located 120 kilometers east of Xi'an, about 3 hours from the city centre. There are five peaks that make up the mountain: Cloud Terrace Peak (North Peak, 1613m)，Jade Maiden Peak (Middle Peak, 20xxm)，Sunrise Peak (East Peak, 2100m)，Lotus Peak (West Peak, 20xxm) and Landing Wild Goose Peak (South Peak, 2160m). North Peak, the lowest of the five, is the starting point. It has three ways up it: the six kilometer winding track from Huashan village, the cable car or the path beneath it.

　　Next on the route is Jade Maiden Peak. Legend has it that a jade maiden was once seen riding a white horse among the mountains, hence the name. The hikers can choose to take a left to Sunrise Peak, a fine place to enjoy the view of the sunrise in early morning (which would involve climbing the mountain in the dark as there is nowhere to stay on the mountain).

　　Alternatively visitors could take a right to Lotus Peak. Huashan means Flower Mountain, and it got the name from Lotus Peak, which resembles a beautifully blooming lotus flower. Finally there is a gondola wich takes visitors acroa steep valley to Landing Wild Goose Peak, the highest among the five summits. The path to the summit is characterized by steep rock faces, with obstacles including a foot-wide plank walkway fixed to a sheer rock face with only a chain along the rock for support. The route continues with footholds in the rock and a chain for holding. This is followed by a vertical ladder in a cleft in the rock. Finally there are steep stone steps. The South Peak is not for the faint of heart and is particularly dangerous in winter weather. However, the views are breathtaking. The climb to its summit makes it clear how the impenetrable mountain repelled attackers over the centuries.

　　As early as the second century BCE, there was a Daoist temple known as the Shrine of the Western Peak located at its base. Daoists believed that in the mountain lives a god of the underworld. The temple at the foot of the mountain was often used for spirits mediums to contact the god and his underlings. Unlike Taishan, (www.fwsir.com)which became a popular place of pilgrimage, Huashan only received local pilgrms, and was not well known in much of the rest of China. Huashan was also an important place for immortality seekers, as powerful drugs were reputed to be found there. Kou Qianzhi (365-448)，the founder of the Northern Celestial Masters received revelations there, as did Chen Tuan (920-989)，who lived on the mountain prior to receiving immortality. In the 1230s, all the temples on the mountain came under control of the Daoist Quanzhen School. In 1998, the management committee of Huashan agreed to turn over most of the mountain's temples to the China Daoist Association. This was done to help protect the environment, as the presence of monks and nuns deters poachers and loggers.

　　hua shan is the highest of china’s five sacred mountains. it is 120 kilometers east of xian. it has five peaks that resemble the petals of a flower. the highest peak is 2180 meters (7085 feet).

　　we had had discussions about going to hua shan with some graduate students from computer science. that didn’t work out due to changes in schedules on both sides. also, they were planning to do the climb at night to be able to reach the peak at sunrise. that did not appeal to us. we wanted to spend a night on the mountain. fran’s department arranged a trip for us, making reservations at the simple hotel on the north peak. they sent two graduate students to accompany us, though they had not been to hua shan before. we met them at 8:00 on saturday morning and took a taxi to the train station. there we asked around and located a mini-bus. the bus made a couple of stops. one was to see a presentation about the traditional medicines grown on the mountain and a chance to buy some of them. it probably would have been interesting if we understood chinese. our guides gave us the general outline about what was said. the other stop was a quick lunch stop.

　　there are two approaches to hua shan. [chinese proverb: “there is one road and only one road to hua shan,” meaning that sometimes the hard way is the only way.] the west entrance involves 10 kilometers of walking on a road before you start climbing. we went with the east entrance, where the bus brings you to the base of a cable car that goes up to the 1500 meter north peak. our plan was to walk up to the north peak, then climb to the four other peaks the next day and take the cable car down.

　　we started the climb in the early afternoon. the path consists of stone steps with rough chain link handrails in the narrowest areas (we wore our bicycling gloves for hand protection). physically, it is more like climbing the steps of a skyscraper than trails at home. however, the temperature was about 95 degrees and there was not much shade. we brought lots of water, including some bottles that we froze and some gatorade that we got at the fancy department store in downtown xian. there are plenty of refreshment stands along the way where you can buy bottled water, the chinese equivalent of gatorade, and other drinks or snacks at a premium price.

　　we reached the north peak before 4:00 pm and rested at the hotel. our room was basic, but comfortable and clean enough. because water is scarce on the mountain, there were neither showers nor sinks available for washing. in that sense the experience felt like camping, but we were sleeping in a big tent!

　　after dinner at the hotel restaurant, we spent some time talking with our guides. we were a bit surprised to find that they both think of japan negatively, but like the u.s. it seems that japan’s wwii behavior in china has not been forgotten, and is emphasized in school.

　　we saw a beautiful sunset and watched the sky become resplendent with thousands of stars, including the milky way galaxy. this was the clearest sky that we have seen in china. the fresh air at hua shan is a treat!

　　our guides had both been planning to get up at 4:00 am to watch the sunrise. fran and i made sleep a priority. we did happen to wake up a bit before sunrise (our room faced east) and went outside to watch the sky become rosy. ironically, our guides missed the sunrise because they had stayed up late watching the european soccer championships on the television in their room

　　the plan for the day was to climb the other four peaks, but we reserved the right to shorten the route. the first part was a steep climb to middle peak. after the low north peak, all the others are at roughly xx meters. there were crowds on the way to middle peak – mostly chinese hikers but we did see a few other wai guo (foreigners) as well.

　　we visited two taoist temples en route to middle peak. each one had an altar with incense and offerings of fruit. the friendly monks invited us to say a prayer or to send blessings to loved ones. fran accepted their invitation. at the first temple, she lit incense sticks and knelt on a cushion in front of the altar saying a silent prayer for our safe journey to the various summits of hua shan (the prayer was answered). at the second temple, she knelt on a cushion in front of the altar and sent silent blessings to several friends who are experiencing challenging situations in their lives at present. after each blessing, she leaned forward and the monk struck a drum.

　　after middle peak, the crowds got much thinner. the next was east peak, which had a steep ladder climbing rock. fran was dubious about this ascent, but realized that the ladder wasn’t so bad and went for it. that was a good decision because we were then able to do a loop and the trails got almost empty at this point. after skirting the top of a cliff with a steep dropoff on both sides, we had a pleasant walk to south peak and west peak. there was even a small amount of dirt trail! the summit of south peak was the highest point on hua shan, so of course we asked another hiker to take a photo of our guides and us. the views from the tops of each peak were beautiful. hua shan and the surrounding mountains are very rugged and remind us somewhat of hiking in the southwestern united states or the sierras.

　　we took a route that eventually brought us to the main line returning down from middle to north peak. we were happy to have ascended each of the five peaks (petals) of flower mountain.

　　cable car (the longest in asia), it was just 7 minutes down to the park entrance. we caught a shuttle bus into town, then transferred to a bus for xian.

　　our guides told us that we had walked up and down a total of 4000 stairs! we were glad that we did not have this information when we started. for three days after returning home, our sore leg muscles instructed us to take the elevator to our fifth floor apartment rather than climbing the stairs.

　　Distinguished guests

　　Hello everyone, welcome to Huashan!

　　I'm Lin Rui, the tour guide of Xi'an magic travel agency. I'm glad to be your tour guide. As the saying goes, it's 50 years since we built the tour. I hope that under the leadership of Xiao Lin, Huashan will leave you a good memory!

　　First of all, I would like to talk about the precautions:

　　First point: Huashan, which we are going to visit today, is famous for its precipitousness. We must pay attention to safety. The most important thing is to remember to walk without looking at the scenery. Don't look over the fence, don't go to dangerous places such as cliff edge to visit or take photos. Do not deliberately pursue the effect of the photographer. Tourists with children must take good care of their children.

　　The second point: we should pay attention to the time and place of assembly, so as not to delay the journey. Remember my number 13572368753 and keep in touch. In Huashan, except for the huangpuyu tourist road, which has no signal for 30 minutes, there are basically signals. Some places have better signals, and some are worse.

　　Now let me give you an overview of Huashan. Huashan Mountain is a part of Qinling Mountains. It was formed 700 million years ago and is commonly known as "Xiyue". Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty named the mountain in five directions as holy mountain. Huashan Mountain is located in the west, so it is called "Xiyue". In ancient times, these five famous mountains correspond to the five elements of ancient China, which are gold, wood, water, fire and earth. In the west, Huashan belongs to gold. The shape of Huashan is just like a gold ingot. When we get to the north peak of Huashan, I'd like you to take a picture with Huashan at the place where Jinyong Huashan talks about swords.

　　Huashan is named Huashan because it looks like a flower from a distance. Ancient flowers are similar to Huashan, so it is named Huashan!

　　In 1996, Huashan's cable car was opened to traffic, ending the ancient history of Huashan's one road. Today, we are climbing by cable car. First, we need to transfer to the Huashan Mountain special line. Now we are driving on the huangpuyu tourist road. Have you ever seen the movie "get Huashan wisely"? This is the way to find a guide in those years. The huangpuyu tourist road from the ticket office to Huashan cableway is 7.66 km long. It took 20xx years for Huashan to be liberated. Han zi, the commander of Hu zongnan's No.6 Baoan brigade, was wearing a 4-year tour guide More than 200 people occupied the mountain as the king. Our pla couldn't fight from the front. We bypassed the back mountain and succeeded in the surprise attack. The movie made according to this incident was called "surprise attack on Huashan". Later Premier Zhou saw it and said that it fully demonstrated the wisdom and bravery of the PLA. Later, it was renamed "capture Huashan with wisdom".

　　We don't want to go on a flat road now. Let's go on the Zhikao Huashan Road, which is part of the walking road over there. I want to see if you have acrophobia and whether you can go to canglongling of Huashan. It has the same slope as other roads, but it's much shorter. If your body is suitable for climbing, I'll let you go and even conquer here No, I will advise you to go down the mountain if you go up to Beifeng and take a picture.

　　Go straight up the mountain and feel the danger of Huashan. As the saying goes, it's easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down the mountain. It's a zigzag road to go down the mountain. It's safe and easy to master the balance of the body.

　　When we get to Beifeng, let's go through Beifeng hotel first, but don't worry too much. There is a map of Huashan in Beifeng hotel. I want to tell you about it. When we go up the mountain, we may be separated. We need to get familiar with the terrain before we can conquer Huashan!

　　This is the place to look at the map. Don't worry. Don't look at the map. Between the two eaves, the East peak of Huashan looks like a bald eagle. It's the best place to watch the sunrise. It's crowded with tourists in the morning, also known as Chaoyang peak. Which is Xifeng next to it? It's straight, like a knife cut. In the movie of outwitting Huashan, it's the enemy headquarters. It is also the place where the legend "the lotus lamp" took place.

　　Now let's turn around and look at this map to see if the top of Huashan looks like a treasure. The two peaks on both sides are East and West peaks, and the peak in the middle is Nanfeng, the highest peak of Huashan Mountain. It is the place where the legendary martial arts masters compete and discuss swords. There is also the most dangerous long sky plank road of Huashan Mountain.

　　We are located in the north peak. After passing through chaeryan, we can get to canglongling. After canglongling, we can get to the golden gate of Wuyun peak. Jinsuoguan is the only way for the four peaks above, East, West, South and middle. When you get there, you can decide to visit any one of the peaks, or you can visit all four by the way.

　　We came up from Huangpu valley. Another road is called Huashan Road since ancient times. If you follow me up a few more steps, you can see the ancient Huashan Road.

　　Now look down, the Yangchang path is the way to Huashan. It takes about three or four hours to walk from the foot of the mountain to Beifeng!
