What To Expect
Mount Huashan
Your English-speaking tour guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in Xi'an at 8:30am and arrive to the mountain around 10:30am. First, take a shuttle bus and then a cable car to the North Peak or West Peak which is up to you own interest and physical condition. Afterwards, you will really get to the mountain top to start the exciting hiking. Your guide will provide detailed information in advance and you will enjoy your own hiking time. When you finish all the peaks (or if you just want to take some pictures and appreciate the awesome scenery but not do much hiking, it's totally fine), you will go to the appointed peak to meet guide and take the cable car and shuttle bus together to go to the mountain top.
China Xian Tour
There are 3 different routes to go through those peaks of Mt. Huashan, you can freely choose based on your own expectation and physical condition. Just tell our guide which option you prefer and he/she will help you to buy admission tickets. Here are instructions of the 3 routes: Route A: Cable car ascend to/descend from North Peak -- The cheapest option but require a good physical stamina if you want to cover all peaks. Route B: Cable car ascend to/descend from West Peak -- The most expensive option as cable car from/to West Peak covering longest distance to allow you the minimum walking. Also, it has the best views at the West Peak. Route C: Cable car ascend to West Peak, descend from North peak by cable car -- A nice option if you are not that full of energy but still want to cover all peaks (with medium cost and hiking).

4.00Tour includes travel to and from Huashan, with guide helping to purchase tickets (guide does not actually go up Huashan with you). Useful if looking for hassle free experience i.e. no need to work out public transportation timings and options, or tickets required
happy days

Mount Huashan - not for the faint of heart

5.00It was a very rigorous hike but worth every excruciating moment. I would recommend any traveler to the Shaanxi region to visit this amazing place. One thing I will say is that I expected a more guided tour but walking the mountain solo allowed me to meet some great people and even created a friendship that will last far beyond the hike. Be prepared to walk atleast 10 kilometers if you want to see all the main peaks. I didn't even get the chance to view the middle peak so to view all the peaks must be atleast a 12-13 kilometer hike so be prepared for this. I wasn't physically prepared so my calves are still burning but it was worth it. Also definitely place a lock on the mountain where no one else has placed one because it gives a sense of connection to the mountain.
Great Day out of Xi'an

5.00My partner and I had a blast on this tour! We booked at the last minute for the next day but they were great. They returned emails within 10-15 minutes and when I called them via Skype from our Xi'an hotel, their English was easily understandable. We wanted a day of being catered to and that is exactly what we got. We were told that our guide would call between 5-8 p.m. to verify pick-up but we were out at dinner. We came back to find message on our phone; the first at 5:05 p.m.We were picked up on time by our guide Tony and our driver Mr. Wu. They were friendly and engaging and water ready for us. Tony took care of everything (buying tickets and pointing us in the right direction). He made a point of repeatedly telling us to take our time, that no matter when we descend, he will be waiting. When he came down four hours later, he surprised us by offering more water and fresh fruit (oranges and one of the local apples which are huge).Team, thank you again! It was one of our highlights of Xi'an.

4.00Tour was great. Everything went like clockwork getting to and back from the mountain. Moutain was beautiful, but would have liked another day to see everything. Tour guide was nice and professional.
