There are five peaks in Mt.Hua, each peaks endows different features. As you only have one day available, we would suggest you focus on some of these peaks and take cable car up and down. There are mainly four routes available for you. Route 1: West Peak cable car up and down (Best and most recommended) Time for hiking: 1-1.5 hours; Time for cable car: 20 mins on the West Peak Cable car and hike about half an hour to the West Peak summit. Only cover one peak and get down. Reason for recommendation: Easiest way to get up the mountain accompanied by the best natural views; Disadvantage: high cost on cable car and shuttle bus. Route 2: West Peak cable car up and down Time for hiking: 4-5 hours, suit for mountaineers; Time for cable car: 30 mins hike to the West Peak summit first, then go counterclockwise to South Peak for about an hour, following which is another 1-1,5 hours hiking to the East Peak and eventually further 1.5-2 hours’ hiking back to the West Peak by passing the Middle Peak. Take the cable car and get down. Disadvantage: Too strenuous for ordinary hikers. Your guide will only escort you for some time to impart the important history and culture facts about the mountain. You will have to cover the rest on your own. Route 3: West Peak cable car up and North Peak down Time for hiking: 2.5 hours; Time for cable car: 30 mins cable car to Weak Peak, hike about 2.5 hours down to the North Peak, from where take cable car down.

About Xian

Xi'an, capital of many Chinese dynasties and the start of the Silk Road, is home to the Terracotta Army and intact Ming city walls.

The Terracotta Army, found by farmers digging a well in 1974, stands in vast pits outside the city: thousands of life-size clay warriors, horses and chariots buried to guard the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, China's first emperor. Each figure has its own face, and the scale is staggering.

Top-ranked sights in Xian: Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum (Terracotta Warriors), Xi'an City Wall (Chengqiang), Big Wild Goose Pagoda (Dayanta).
