Let me start by saying that I like free travel very much and don't like to go with travel agencies and follow groups, so this is suitable for friends who go on a one-day trip to Huashan in Xi'an or other areas.
The first is the high-speed rail ticket. I bought Xi'an North Railway Station-Huashan North Railway Station, which takes 30 minutes to high-speed rail. Because I live at Yongningmen Subway Station in Beilin District, I took Metro Line 2, which goes directly to North Railway Station, which is Xi'an North Railway Station. The time is like 35 minutes. My friends who live in other parts of Xi'an will see the route to Xi'an North Railway Station based on their own positioning. Here I recommend Gaode Map, which is the route viewing and navigation software I have always used. Ali's products are really great.
Then, in terms of riding, because I have been working in operations in Hangzhou, I have always liked the QR code scanning for Hangzhou subway buses. Currently, Xi'an has also opened Alipay QR code rides. If you have not received the boarding code, you can just search the Alipay homepage search box-search for your life number-after entering, you can search for transportation in the life number search box-search for transportation-and then pick up the bus/subway code there. The next time I use it, I will pay on the Alipay homepage-just click on the bus code below and choose the bus/subway. Currently, among the cities I go to, Hangzhou and Xi'an are open. Traveling is very convenient. I don't need to buy tickets. I don't need to change change or recharge. I will deduct money directly from Alipay. There are currently no buses in Chengdu, Nanjing and Changsha. There is only one bus pass in Chengdu. Hey, this topic ends here.
After arriving at Huashan North Railway Station and leaving the station, there is a row of shops on the left side that sell things. There are many shops. If you don't have anything to eat, you can buy some water and biscuits and instant noodles. There are also Red Bull and Dongpeng Lehu. These functional drinks can be prepared more, but they will be expensive when you reach the mountains. Red Bull costs about 12-15, and Coke on the top of the mountain costs 15 a bottle. As the mountain rises, the price of instant noodles rises from 15-20. When I was on the mountain, I joked with my colleagues on WeChat that I wanted to open a store. It would be a huge profit.
Then, when shopping, the merchants should have a cooperative relationship with the taxi at the exit. Many people ask you if you want a car and send it directly to the foot of the mountain. If you think it is possible, you can consider it. If you don't buy things or take a taxi, go straight along the exit and cross the road. There is a bus stop opposite. On the right hand side of the bus stop, there is a No. 1 bus. This bus is free. After getting on the bus, take it to the terminal, Huashan Tourist Center. The sign has a lotus stone carving. I went to take pictures of the mountains but didn't take pictures of that, hahaha.
This is it. It was 9.37 am when I arrived here. There is also a small park here, Huashan Ecological Park, which you can visit if you have time.
After getting off the bus, follow the icon and go right ahead. There is a ticketing hall where you can buy Huashan tickets and cableway tickets. This trip is off-season, and the ticket is 100/adult tickets, excluding the cable car. Then there is a WeChat scan code in the ticketing hall. The prices are all similar. Then, if you want to take the cableway up the mountain, you can buy the cableway ticket at the ticket hall, take the shuttle bus to the Xifeng bus point, and then go up the mountain. The time and price vary according to the peak season. I am not taking the cableway up the mountain, so I won't go into it.
Then the key point comes. Some people like me are going to walk up the mountain, whether they buy tickets here or buy tickets online. After buying tickets, go to Parking Lot 1, where there is a free shuttle bus and sit to the terminal. Yuquan Square, where there is a luggage storage place, there is also a supermarket, and there is also a place to sell climbing equipment. Just ignore what you buy. However, there is one point: you can climb mountains without a climbing pole, but you must have a pair of gloves. Remember this!!!
There is a sign in Yuquan Square.
That's it, because I went to the ticket hall of the visitor center to buy a ticket, and it took me some time to find a car. It was 10.12 am when I took this photo after arriving here.
Then I saw a sign for walking climbing in the lower right corner. Just follow this sign. This mountain entrance belonging to the North Peak of Huashan Mountain can be walked from here during the day and night, and then just walk along it.
You will pass through this archway on the way and arrive here at 10.18 minutes in the morning.
Further inside is the check-in place. The progress of scanning the ID card for online ticket purchase will be good, and then!!! There is a place to buy tickets here. Hahahaha. If you don't want to waste time in the ticketing hall, you can come here to buy tickets.
Then just go straight inside. The road ahead is still very smooth.
Because we came in the off-season and there was still snow in Huashan, there were not many people climbing on foot. The one who came with me and almost climbed the northern peak together was a buddy from Sanmenxia, Henan. He was quite enthusiastic and it was nice to meet you. This eldest brother also recommended me to go to Songshan. I will definitely go if I have the opportunity in the future. I hope I can see you again then.
When I arrived at the first level, it was 10.38 in the morning. I walked relatively fast, and the front was not steep, but I just took pictures while walking in front. This speed was not fast.
After this intersection, the journey starts to get steeper, and the next step road starts. Under this place, things are still cheap, so buy what you want as soon as possible.
When we arrived at this monument, it was already 11.24 a.m. I was already panting at that time.
This was taken at 11.34 a.m., and you can see that there are stairs here.
By the time we arrived at the Heart Stone, it was already 12.17 noon. The main reason was that we were too tired to climb the stairs on the road. In addition, we had not exercised for a long time and went to play in the snow halfway, so we had rested several times.
It was 12.20 noon when I arrived at this long staircase road. You can see that I took the photos below and halfway through the climb. It was not long and it only took 10 minutes to finish the climb, but it would be better to wear gloves when climbing. In fact, for a person who suffers from severe fear of heights, I gave up the more stable road next to me and chose to go up the mountain from here because I wanted to overcome my fear of heights. I didn't want to travel with the woman I like in the future. She didn't even dare to join the bungee jumping parachute that she had always wanted to play.
Cough, back to the topic, it's still very interesting to go up the mountain here. If you are afraid of heights, you just don't keep looking back. When taking pictures, hold your phone steadily and don't drop it. If you drop it, just use it at this height. I guess it will be useless... Nokia is another matter. The eldest brother who entered the mountain with me originally wanted to walk aside, but after watching the climb, he also followed me. Hahaha, I felt that my eldest brother was so interesting at that time.
Then after crossing this ladder, the rest of the road is not far away.
You can already see some scenery on the next mountain here, and the time is 12.45 noon.
When I arrived here, I was not far from the top of Beifeng Mountain. It was 12.52 noon. I met my eldest brother in red and his daughter-in-law here again-the eldest sister wearing a white down jacket next to him in the picture above. The eldest sister saw me climbing the mountain alone and kept cheering for me, and the eldest brother behind me also kept cheering me up. Both of them were very humorous people, making people feel very friendly.
But the stairs here are already very, very steep. Remember to wear gloves, walk one side when going up the mountain, and grab the iron chain. You can go up the mountain slowly, but don't rush or cross the steps. The steps here are very narrow, not to mention in winter, there is snow and ice, which is easy to slip.
After passing the stairs above and walking further, it was already 1 o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at this place. It was very close to the summit of Beifeng.
At 13.05 pm, starting from the Chen Tuan stone statue at 10.12, it took almost 3 hours to reach the peak of Beifeng.
Go forward along this door and you will find an observation deck. The opposite direction is the direction to the center, Nanfeng, Dongfeng, Xifeng, as well as the plank road, Jinsuoguan, and Nantianmen Gate, but here!!!
There's a little place.
Go forward a little bit at this Cha 'erya archway. On the right side, there is an intersection. This is it.
The stone tablet on the sword in Huashan and the two poems connected with the first word of the names of all Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels. There are still swords here during the peak season, but maybe due to the time when I came, there are not doors here. There are only many previous promotional photos displayed at the ticket sales office. So I only took a photo of these two stone tablets. Some people will say that there are many stone tablets on Huashan Mountain that discuss swords, but I went to the Xifeng, the East Peak, and the Center, and I only saw the Beifeng place, such a unique double stone tablet. So taking a group photo here is still very commemorative. When I was leaving, my previous eldest brother and sister happened to pass by, so after I asked them to come up, I took a group photo for them to thank them for their previous encouragement ~ Because this is quite a bit off, so people who don't want to have too much trouble may miss it, so don't forget to take a look when walking through here.
Later, because Beifeng is the shortest peak in Huashan Mountain, there is nothing to see. Therefore, after taking photos of my eldest brother and sister there, I set off for the higher Xifeng and East Peak. These were all taken along the way. The last photo in this group of photos was already 14.42 in the afternoon. It is not far from Jinsuoguan, and the direction is naturally taken in the direction I came from. These people basically went to Beifeng to take the cableway because it was cheap. It's only 45 yuan/adult. There are actually not many people who continue to climb the mountain from Beifeng, but the road is really difficult. I rest in these places the most times. In the middle, I couldn't do it when I was at Jinsuoguan. I bought a bucket of instant noodles there. 20 and 15 Coke. I rested for a long time before continuing to set out. Here, I also met my eldest brother and sister for the last time. Later, I never met them again because of the different routes.
At 13.09 pm, I arrived at Dongfeng. Going up here, there was a pigeon rolling over. Some people were afraid of heights, high blood pressure, and had a bad heart. A person who came alone and was not allowed to play with anyone accompanying him was not allowed to play. The pigeon rolling over was very exciting and interesting. A place, those with ideas can go and have a look after arriving at Dongfeng.
The small pavilions in the two pictures below are the scenic spots where the pigeons turn over. After climbing down, they follow the steep and narrow path and finally reach the end. It is said that the place where Taizu of Song and Chen Tuan lost to Huashan in chess. If you need to wear a seat belt, the specific interested friends will be clear when they arrive. Because I was only one person, the security officer directly refused me ==
At 15.36 pm, due to some problems such as detours and fatigue, I reached the foot of Xifeng. I went up this way and reached the summit of Xifeng. In the opposite direction, I was Nanfeng. I was too tired, so I didn't go.
This is the way to go on the way to the summit of Xifeng, as well as the scenery on the side, and the scenery above the summit. The only pity is that there are not many clouds today, so you can't see the sea of clouds. Compared with the time we went to the Golden Peak of Mount Emei in December this year, the difference is too big, but the steepness of Mount Huashan, as well as the mountains and stones brought by nature's extraordinary craftsmanship, are unmatched by the Golden Peak of Emei, and each has its own charm. But overall, compared to the West Lake in Hangzhou, Huashan and Emei Mountains are much better. The West Lake is really boring. I have visited it several times in four to five years in Hangzhou, and it feels just like that. Hahaha, this is not my personal opinion, but the opinion of many friends in Hangzhou.
At 16.18 p.m., after visiting Xifeng, I went along the exit to Xifeng Cableway, because I bought a high-speed rail back to Xi'an at 7 o'clock. According to the original idea, I wanted to watch the sunset from 5:30 to 6 o'clock before leaving. However, because the Xifeng cableway is too long, and after 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the Xifeng cableway is closed and stopped, even if I walked to Beifeng to take the 45/yuan cableway, it was not enough time. Before coming, I thought about changing my ticket to the high-speed rail, and I also wanted to watch the sunset after. It was really impossible to walk down the mountain, but it took almost three hours to finally reach the peak of the North Peak. Coupled with the next few hours, it was really impossible to walk back to the North Peak and then walk down the mountain from the North Peak.
So I chose to go down the mountain from Xifeng. The cable car ticket was really expensive, 120/adult. The key point was that after it took almost 20 minutes to get to the cableway station, it took me ten minutes to walk to the parking lot. Moreover, the parking lot is still far away from the passenger center, let alone Huashan North Railway Station. I had no choice but to buy another 40 yuan/adult class ticket, spent more than half an hour to the terminal, returned to the visitor center, and then walked from the visitor center parking lot to Huashan Ecological Park. That is, where I got off when I came. I took the No. 1 bus there to Huashan North Railway Station. It was already 18.20 when I finally arrived at Huashan North Railway Station. Fortunately, I didn't miss the high-speed train.
Therefore, friends who are on a day trip should remember to pay attention to the time. In fact, during this day trip to Huashan, we have not visited Nanfeng, the world's first wedding house, and the plank road, and we have not seen the sunset. However, to be honest, you can still walk the plank road on foot. To be a man, are your legs not soft???==
Haha, it's late at night, I just wrote so much. If you have any questions, comments or private letters, you will answer them as soon as you see them.
