China’s Huashan hiking trek is considered as the world’s most dangerous hike.
Huashan is a mountain which has 5 highest peaks, located near the city of Huayin in Shaanxi province, about 120 kilometres (75 mi) east of Xi'an.
South Peak, is the highest peak among the 5 peaks in Huashan, which height at 2154.9 m above sea level.
West Peak, is the nearest peak from the West cable car station, it's only takes around 15 to 20 minutes walk after exit from the cable car station.
OK, let's not too scary by looking these photo above....actually to reach to the highest peak is not too difficult, as long as your body fit and have strong legs to walk (at least you need to walk between 2 to 3 hours to reach 2 peaks, and will be more to finished all the 5 peaks) and you will climb up and down some stairs which some of them are quite steep (so you need to hold on tight to the chains/handle next to stairs)
This Huashan is AAAAA National Scenic Area as tourist attraction in China, so safety should has been considered as top priority for the tourist.
I started this Huashan trip from Xi'an by taking the new High speed train, which only takes less than 1 hour from Xi'an North Railway station to Huashan North Railway station.
After arrived at Huashan North Railway station, there are many taxi drivers will offer ride to Huashan at the exit....better not to take that, if you are not in hurry.
Because there is free bus in green colour (I took this no. 1 bus), it's really free! you don't have to pay. This bus will drop you near to the lotus tower which is near to Huashan entrance (when you arrived, just follow the crowds or tourist you meet at the bus as they should be going to Huashan entrance).
