Itinerary

Day 1: Private Day Tour of Mount Huashan from Xi'an

The moment you step out of the airport, your private guide greets you with a warm smile. A comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle awaits, ready to whisk you away from the city’s bustle.

After a scenic 2-hour drive, the majestic Mount Huashan rises before you—an ancient peak shrouded in mist, its jagged cliffs standing like nature’s fortress. This isn’t just any mountain; it’s one of China’s legendary Five Great Mountains, a place where emperors once sought wisdom and monks found enlightenment.

A round-trip cable car ride has been arranged for you, ensuring a comfortable yet awe-inspiring ascent. As the cabin glides over deep valleys and sheer rock faces, the world below shrinks, and a breathtaking panorama unfolds—verdant ridges, twisting stone paths, and temple roofs peeking through the clouds.

For those craving adventure, South Peak’s cliffside plank walk is an unmissable thrill. Strapped into a safety harness, you’ll inch along a narrow wooden walkway suspended against a vertical rock face. The wind brushes past, and beneath your feet, the abyss stretches endlessly. It’s an adrenaline rush like no other, rewarded with some of the most spectacular views in China.

After a day filled with natural beauty and heart-racing moments, your guide and driver will take you back to your hotel. Need a place for dinner? Just ask. Whether it’s a steaming bowl of biang biang noodles or a sizzling plate of cumin-spiced lamb skewers, your guide will point you to the best local flavours to wrap up the day in true Xi’an style.
