I recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and dressing in layers to adapt to changing temperatures. Bring sun protection and a small daypack for the Mount Huashan hike. It's also a good idea to carry some snacks and water for the climb. After booking, I'll provide a detailed packing list to ensure you're fully prepared.
Yes, it is safe as long as proper precautions are taken. The mountain has well-maintained trails and safety measures in place. Our experienced guides will ensure you follow all necessary safety guidelines throughout the hike.
We generally set aside 2–3 hours for the Terracotta Warriors visit. This ensures you have enough time to explore all three pits and the exhibition hall while gaining valuable insights from your guide.
The hike can be challenging, especially if you opt for the stairs. However, cable car options are available for a more relaxed ascent. I'd be happy to go over the different routes with you to match your fitness level and preferences.
