The west-to-north route offers stunning views. On the day of our visit, the North Peak cable car didn't mechanically stop checking tickets at 7 PM; instead, it extended the service by half an hour for visitor safety. Kudos to the cable car staff for their hard work! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

The Huashan West Peak Cableway truly lives up to its reputation as Asia's top cliffside cableway! The 20-minute ride soars through a thousand-meter-high cliff, with three ascents and descents, delivering an exhilarating sense of suspension. The fully transparent cabin offers unparalleled views, overlooking Huashan's towering peaks and deep valleys; encountering a sea of ​​clouds transports you to a fairyland. Although the ticket price isn't cheap, the thrilling experience combined with the breathtaking panoramic views makes it absolutely worthwhile! Not for those with a fear of heights; a must-try for the brave.

The hotel is right next to the Xiyue Temple, about a 20-minute walk from Huashan North Railway Station, and a taxi to the Huashan Visitor Center costs around 10 yuan. Shopping and dining are also very convenient. The first floor is a bathhouse, and the second floor is for accommodation. Guests can enjoy free showers; a hot bath after climbing Huashan is incredibly relaxing. The only downside is that the hotel facilities are a bit old, but overall it offers excellent value for money.
