1, from Xi'an to Huashan, it is recommended to take the morning subway to Xi'an North Station, and then take the high-speed train to Huashan North.
2, Huashan North take the free bus to the visitor center, buy the cable car ticket on the West Peak and the cable car ticket under the North Peak.
3, the West Peak on the counterclockwise walk South Peak, East Peak, the center front over the Golden Lock Pass and then walk Canglongling, because the Canglongling view is the most beautiful, in the Huashan must take a trip, if the elderly body can not go over the mountain, you can also walk Canglongling next to the wooden trestle, but don't take the downhill side of the not trestle, that side of the view is much worse.
4, the last from the North Peak to take the cable car down the mountain, then basically in addition to hiking enthusiasts to go to Huashan a road you did not walk, Huashan's several peaks have walked, and not tired, because it is high to low place to go.
5, I wish you a happy trip.
Mount Hua's East Peak, West Peak, Middle Peak, South Peak, these four peaks are very close, you can walk, South Peak is the highest point; North Peak is farther away, you can skip;
The journey between the four peaks, the slope is only between the South Peak and the East Peak, there is a slightly steeper staircase from the South Peak to the East Peak is a downward staircase in the opposite direction is the upward staircase, the other slopes are okay;
It is recommended to take the cable car from the West Peak on the ropeway up the mountain, play route: West Peak ropeway - West Peak - South Peak - East Peak - Middle Peak - West Peak ropeway; from the East Peak or Middle Peak to the West Peak ropeway are very close to the slow tour of the foot journey of half an hour or so;
Older people to go to Huashan to play routes West Peak round trip, the visitor center to take the West Peak ropeway bus into the mountain car, 65 years of age or older ticket-free, the next bus does not work for about 20 minutes, take the West Peak ropeway 20 Minutes to Mount Hua West Peak, according to the individual gas situation to visit. 1. West Peak South Peak visit return. 2. West Peak South Peak South Peak South Tianmen Long Sky Trail, Harrier Turning Golden Lock Pass West Peak ropeway return. 3. West Peak South Peak South Peak South Tianmen Long Sky Trail, Harrier Turning East Peak Ladder Golden Lock Pass West Peak return. 4.
The elderly tour of Mount Huashan, the first to have a clear understanding of Mount Huashan. Mount Huashan is one of the famous five mountains, located 120 kilometers east of Xi'an, south of Huayin County, known as "the world's most dangerous mountain". Mount Hua consists of five peaks: Chaoyang Peak in the east, Lanyan Peak (the highest peak) in the south, Lotus Peak in the west, Yuntai Peak in the north, and Jade Peak in the center, and Yuntai Peak in the north is the main point of access to the other four peaks. The most dangerous parts of Mount Hua are: Thousand-foot Block, Hundred-foot Gorge, Canglong Ridge, Longkong Trestle, Harrier's Turn and so on.
Secondly, it is to make a correct assessment of the body of the elderly, such as how the physical condition? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty. Can you climb the mountain moderately, etc.?
The last is to understand the way to Mount Hua. There are two ways to get to Mount Huashan, one is the ropeway and the other is hiking. There are two ropeways, one directly to the North Peak, and then climbed to other peaks; one directly to the West Peak, this one is to facilitate the convenience of watching the sunrise, and the second will save a lot of energy and time, less on the mountain, basically all downhill. Hiking also has two paths, one is "since ancient times Huashan a road", this road from the west gate of the jade spring courtyard to start climbing, on the way through the thousands of feet of building, hundred feet of the gorge, very dangerous and hard to climb to the north peak, young people need more than 7 hours, walk through the other peaks, usually have to live a night, this road is not suitable for the elderly. There is also a road is "Zhiqi Huashan Road", that is, from the east gate began to climb the mountain, by the turtle back stone, tiger mouth, flying dragon ladder, the immortal pointing to the North Peak and so on, it takes more than 4 hours, and from the North Peak to the other 4 peaks plus visit time also need about 7 hours, so a day time old people are too tired, and also not suitable.
Summarizing the above, a day's tour time, the elderly can only take the ropeway on.
If the old man's body is still okay, can climb moderately, but the knee is not adapted to walk downhill, then take the North Peak cableway. First, take a sightseeing bus at the visitor center to Huangfuyu, take the ropeway to the North Peak to visit, and then hiking, through the fish mouth stone - rubbing ear cliffs - on the heavenly staircase - sun and moon rock - DuLongMiao - CangLongLing - HanHai casting a book at the place, over the five cloud peaks of the JinLiaoGuan, it takes about 3 hours to walk to here; and then go to the middle front, view jade maiden hole, ladder, lead phoenix pavilion, etc.; and then go to the East Peak of the immortal palm cliffs, the ChaoyangTai, SanMaoDong, Harrier turning, and other attractions; and then go to the South Peak of the Xiaozifeng Peak, the Cliff of Avoiding Imperial Edict, the South Heavenly Gate, the Longkong Trail, the Quanzhen Cliff, etc.; and finally to the West Peak, where you can watch the sunset. East Peak, center front, South Peak, West Peak is very close to each other, peaks and peaks on the half-hour journey, plus visiting time is also 4 hours. Finally to the West Peak ropeway on the station to take the ropeway down the mountain, the ropeway down station is located in the urn valley scenic area of the east ditch mouth, that is, Xianyu Baijiao Temple scenic area, and then take the sightseeing bus back to the visitor center.
If the old man's health is average, but the knee joint is good, suitable for walking downhill, then take the ropeway up from the West Peak, and take the ropeway down from the North Peak, the tour is just the opposite direction of the above, and the attractions on the mountain can be seen by all.
Know the weather forecast in advance, it is best to choose a sunny day to go out, convenient for the elderly to walk; the weather on the mountain changes faster, bring good rain gear and thicker clothes.
Mount Hua on the prices are more expensive, a small amount to bring some suitable for the elderly to eat and drink.
Huashan ticket price:160 yuan; West Peak ropeway one-way 140 yuan, North Peak ropeway one-way 80 yuan; to the North Peak ropeway sightseeing car one-way 20 yuan, to the West Peak ropeway sightseeing car one-way 40 yuan. 65 years old and above old people have a preferential policy.
I'm 64 years old, and I just toured Mt. Huashan on May 2nd with two 74 and 75 year olds.
First of all, the old man's body must be healthy to continue to discuss this issue, and we traveled with a 67-year-old friend did not go up the mountain, although it is to take the cable car. Because on May 2, the tour of Mount Hua was full of people, queuing up to enter the door and queuing up on the cable car on the whole five bells. So hot days row so long queue is also very physical exertion, many young people can not afford it, in the process of queuing, often squatting or sitting on the ground.
Secondly, time, never, never, never travel on public holidays in the community, with so long to go into the door to take the cable car, both a waste of time and physical exhaustion. The elderly are people with time, do not go with those young people to squeeze the holiday. Advocates of the elderly staggered travel, not only when taking the bus, these attractions of tourism is the same. We are because of the free travel itinerary to the fixed, have no choice.
Again, the line, if the time allows physical conditions also allow, the West Peak on the North Peak is the best choice. Can't walk 3~4 bells of the mountain road, directly on the North Peak on the North Peak down. The north peak of the mountain on the head of the "Huashan Jian" stone monument, is a good photo spot; and then a little bit of the steeper and more exciting path, basically can realize the wish.
The elderly due to physical reasons, climbing Mount Huashan is a bit difficult, so if you want to climb Mount Huashan, in the line to be selected. Now the North Peak and West Peak have a cableway, the elderly Mount Huashan can first come to the urn valley scenic area, the West Peak cableway from the urn valley to the West Peak, the total length of four thousand two hundred meters, this is a wonderful sightseeing cableway, passing through the main scenic area of Mount Huashan, Xianyu, West Peak, the long sky stacks, the harrier, chess pavilion, and so on. West Peak down the ropeway, through the South Peak, the Central Peak, East Peak, North Peak, you can visit all the peaks of Mount Huashan, Canglongbei, Han retreat to the book, Jade Peak, Mount Huashan debate on the sword can be reached everywhere. In the North Peak take the ropeway down the mountain, take the ferry out of the valley, you can ensure that the tour of Mount Hua in one day. The cost of the West Peak ropeway is one hundred and forty yuan in high season and one hundred and twenty yuan in low season, while the North Peak ropeway is eighty yuan for a one-way trip. The ferry is twenty yuan. This route saves time and allows you to visit all the important attractions of Mount Hua, so it should be a good choice.
Elderly people have poor physical strength, there are also good physical strength, can not be generalized. The ones with good physical strength are no worse than the young, and even much better!
The worst physical strength to choose the same cableway round trip, West Peak, North Peak can be, go up to turn around, and then return the same way.
I have a different opinion about the west up and north down. Although it saves some effort to go down the mountain, but the impact on the knee joint is bigger. In order to protect the knee joints, I usually choose to climb up the mountain, down the mountain by cable car. So in January, I went to Mount Huashan, and also chose the north west route, not only the fun of climbing, but also save the physical strength, to protect the knee joints.
The high speed train is very convenient. Out of the Huashan North Station, do not be in the exit of the hustler, walk across the square, is a free station. When I came back, I was in a hurry, I played, did not take the free car.
There are restaurants on the mountain to eat, I brought self-heating rice, I did not understand the price. There is also a McDonald's near the West Peak cable car station.
North to west, spent 5 hours, there are still several peaks have not gone, so the time to do well to leave enough some, 7-8 hours or so.
If you take the cable car on the return trip, from the North Peak on the West Peak, West Peak is relatively high, North Peak is relatively low, downhill calves will be shivering, sore legs and stomach a lot of people are because of the downhill, from the North Peak to the middle peak, the East Peak, the South Peak, the West Peak, so that there is no turning back if you come from the West Peak on the West Peak, is the West Peak, the South Peak, the Middle Peak, the East Peak, and then back through the Middle Peak, back to the North Peak, more than the East Peak with the middle peak! The journey between the East Peak and the Middle Peak.
The peak strategy, Huashan North Peak most people, the North Peak is the first stop for all tourists on the mountain, need to walk back to the attractions are: Laojun plow ditch, 100 feet of the gorge, a thousand feet of building, back to the heart of the stone, which depends on whether you want to go, through the North Peak, straight into the rubbing of the ear cliffs - Canglong Ridge - Golden Lock Pass, arrived at the peak, the main peak of the Jade Maiden (a day of time is limited, the peak can be seen but not to look at), and in the peak of the left to go to the East Peak (mainly harrier tumbling), right to the West Peak (also known as Lotus Peak, is Shenxiang split the mountain to save the mother, mainly to see the Canglong back, like the back of the tortoise, from a distance quite spectacular), by the East and West Peak can be reached by the South Peak (mainly the Longkong Trestle Trail), if the West Peak under the West Peak, then from the East Peak go to the South Peak, it takes 3-4 hours, excluding the optional attractions of the harrier tumbling and the Longkong Trestle Trail, which are each another 45 minutes or so.
If you want to save energy, it must be west on north down, because the west peak is more than 2000 meters above sea level, the height of the north peak is more than 1600 meters, not to mention the high and low ups and downs on the way, there is a difference of more than 400 meters of height in a separate comparison.
But I personally recommend the north up and west down - even physical strength is still possible, if you can, from the Yuquanyuan hiking to the north peak is best, because then almost all the attractions can be seen.
The reasons for recommending the north-west hike are as follows:
One, although the north peak is more than 400 meters lower than the south-east and west peaks, but because of the longer distance, the difference in elevation is not tiring to climb up,
Two, from the north peak to the golden locks pass to pass through the classic rubbing the ear cliffs - the Canglong Ridge route, if you go in the opposite direction, it may be with the crowds of people up the mountain to cause conflict (the road is too narrow, the crowd will not allow you to take this road), and the road will not allow you to take the road. (The road is too narrow, and when there are many people, you will not be allowed to take this road, only the flat but generally scenic Feiyuling compound road is allowed).
Third, the downhill is more stressful to the knees, and may not actually be better than the uphill.
Recommended Route
In terms of experiencing the history, culture and natural beauty of Huashan, the best way is to walk from Yuquanyuan to the North Peak (about 4 hours, only the last hour of the Qianshibang-Baishi Gorge and the Laojun Plow Gully have steeper steps, so it's fine if you walk slower).
- If you decide to go on the North Peak Cableway, the trip is much easier, take a bus from the visitor center to the lower station of the North Peak Cableway, and the cable car goes up to the North Peak.
Then go to the top of the North Peak, and then through the rubbing ear cliffs - Canglongling to the Golden Lock Pass (2 hours), and then go (Middle Peak) - East Peak - South Peak - West Peak (2 hours) - if you experience the harrier overthrow and the long sky stacks at least an additional 1 hour each, and in addition to attract the phoenix Pavilion and the tops of a few peaks should not be missed (in the middle of the peaks are not much features
Mount Hua is located in Shaanxi, is China's top ten mountains. Known for its thrill. The movie "Taking Mount Hua" was filmed here.
Older people are not recommended to go up from the West Peak. The West Peak is too high, and the ropeway sometimes stops running due to high winds.When we climbed Mount Huashan during the Spring Festival vacation in 2018, the West Peak stopped running due to high winds. We took the ropeway up from the North Peak. Even if the ropeway is not out of service, going down from the West Peak to the North Peak is a long way, with many steps and steep, which is too much for the elderly body. From the West Peak, we took the ropeway directly down. See the limited number of attractions, more or less regrettable.
It is recommended that the elderly take the cable car from the North Peak to the mountain is more appropriate. The cableway is not too high, not too shaky. The old man will not be dizzy.
Down the cableway, there is a service area. You can sit down, rest a little, simply eat something.
Do not want to climb the mountain, in the intersection of the mountain, you can see the thrilling attractions of the filming of the Zhi Taking Huashan. Look at the scene of young people climbing. The elderly will also be very enjoyable.
West Peak cableway up the mountain, North Peak cableway down the mountain, walking line
West Peak South Peak East Peak North Peak.
It is recommended to take the cable car up and down, do not schedule the trip too tight. Take the West Peak cable car up the mountain, from the West Peak to start touring, then from the West Peak to the South Peak and then through the middle peak to reach the North Peak, directly down the mountain by cable car. Such a line is almost walking down the steps of the mountain, more relaxed, but also can see the best scenery of Mount Hua. This road the elderly and children walk a little slower should not be a problem, really can not walk on the South Peak do not go, directly from the North Peak down the mountain, will not be too exhausting.
Older, west on the west, only to play the west peak and the south peak.
