Yhden päivän matka Xi'anista Huashaniin (Länsihuippu ylös, Pohjoishuippu alas & Länsihuippu edestakaisin & Pohjoishuippu edestakaisin)

부모님과 여행을 중국 시안으로 왔는데, 그중에서 화산 일일 투어는 평생 잊지 못할거 같아요! 케이블카를 타고 서봉~북봉코스로 내려왔는데, 그 어느 놀이공원에 무섭다고 하는 놀이기구 보다 더 아찔하고, 화산에서 내려다 보는 풍경은 도저히 사진 또는 글로 표현할수 없어요! 한살이라도 어릴때 꼭 가보세요! 난이도가 좀 있습니다!

this is good for elders or with kids that you cannot climb much but still want to enjoy the scenery. very easy cable car up and down. well paved, however the signage not very clear but you can ask the locals. this route you can see the west/ south/ east/ centre peak. but again you can decide or just only the west peak. but note that even if you have completed trip. the internal transfer bus, will need to wait for enough people before they set off for your transfer to the bus to return to city. my gf took this route due to health reasons. she ended almost the same time of probably an hr earlier than us back to city. she had enjoyed and a nice one.

driver is on time and well organised. for the tour booked, had a mixture of tourist, local and English/ non mandarin speakers tourist, the guide that we have, have limited English speaking abilities, not sure why the tourists are mixed. we reach Hua Shan about almost noon after settling all the tickets etc (guide says due to a lot of foreigners, hence delayed) we manage to finish the 5 peaks (honestly very rushed) as we had to catch the return buses, take some pictures along the way. not to forget upon reaching the base? we still need to catch a internal bus before reaching the bus to return to city. (do plan your time well) overall still a nice experience if we had more time to and pace out the hike. well paved and there’s snacks/ souvenirs shops and toilets can be found along the peaks. suggest to self pack snacks/ food is easier, unless you have the luxury of time. have enjoyed, thank you.

convenient pick location near our hotel and drop off location near Bell Tower. Zem was clear and patient in providing instructions. he provided a lot of information on Huashan and was constantly communicating with our group via WeChat. the views from Huashan was stunning and breathtaking.

Hua-vuori on ehdoton nähtävyys, kun olet alueella. Oppaamme Zem oli erittäin huomaavainen ja antoi meille paljon tietoa reitistämme (nousu lännestä ja laskeutuminen pohjoisesta). Sää voi olla oikukas, mutta rakastimme tätä pilvistä ja hieman sateista tunnelmaa, joka ei vähennä Kiinan kuuluisimpien vuorten viehätystä. Varaamalla Klookin kautta saat aamiaisen ja lounaan mukaan ja lähdet kotiin pienellä magneetilla. Suosittelemme! 😊

Nouto oli hieman kaoottinen, koska paikalla oli vain kiinalainen opas. Mutta sitten pysähdyimme toiseen kokoontumispaikkaan Xi'anissa, jossa oli englanninkielinen opas. Hän selitti reitit jne. Länteen ylös ja pohjoiseen alas on helpoin tapa, koska se on enimmäkseen alamäkeä. Kuka tahansa kohtalaisen hyväkuntoinen henkilö pystyy siihen. He tarjoavat pienen lounaan ja pienen aamiaisen. He pyysivät meitä maksamaan ylimääräiset 50 yuania GPS:stä ja vakuutuksesta, he sanoivat. Koska kyseessä on vain opas kuljetukseen vuorelle ja vaelluksen tekee itse, kukaan ei antanut tippiä lopussa.

Unohtumaton päiväretki Xi'anista – upeat maisemat ja ensiluokkainen järjestely! Vierailu Huashan-vuorella oli ehdottomasti yksi Kiinan-matkani kohokohdista! Pystysuorat graniittihuiput ja dramaattiset kallionäkymät ovat jopa henkeäsalpaavammat paikan päällä kuin valokuvissa. Suuri kiitos oppaallemme Zemille! Vaikka hän ei vaeltanut vuorelle kanssamme, hänen uskomaton organisointikykynsä teki päivästä täysin stressittömän. Hän koordinoi saumattomasti kaikki pikajunalippumme, bussikuljetukset ja köysiratapassit. Zem varmisti, että tiesimme tarkalleen minne mennä, minkä reitin valita ja missä tavata hänet jälkeenpäin, joten emme tunteneet oloamme eksyneeksi hetkeäkään.

Overall, the experience was good, but the pick-up and transfer took much longer than expected. Pick-up was at 7:15am, but after regrouping and reassigning passengers to different buses, we only reached the base around 10:30am. The tour company also promoted the XR experience, and everyone had to wait another 30 minutes before boarding the bus again for a 40-minute ride to the mid-mountain area, where we could continue by cable car to the peak. By the time we reached the cable car at around 12pm, quite a lot of time had already been spent on transfers and waiting. If you prefer to take your time, chill and enjoy the scenery, you’ll likely only have enough time to visit one peak, as there are queues almost everywhere.

Mount Hua is beautiful, worth the effort despite the climb and big crowd. Different options let customers choose how long to climb base on own ability. Service by the guide is commendable. she gave good explanation, with route photos and videos sent via WeChat. This package comes with GPS to communicate with guide if lost. Return bus is rolling basis, take whichever earliest bus back. As we climbed all 5 peaks, the guide waited for us to come down to take the last bus back.

Huashan-vuori oli kaunis, eikä aikaa todellakaan ollut tarpeeksi kaiken ympäristön arvostamiseen 🥲. Matkaoppaani Crystal oli todella avulias! Hän antoi selkeät ohjeet siitä, minkä reitin vuorelle ottaa, minkä näin liian myöhään internet-yhteysongelmien vuoksi 😅. Vaikka opas ei seuraa sinua vuorelle, he ovat hyvin tavoitettavissa ja voit soittaa heille, jos tarvitset apua. Suosittelen hankkimaan GPS-laitteen!
