Mount Huashan

After arriving in Xi’an we saw the terracotta soldiers and the Chinese national museum. Unfortunately (fortunately?) most of China’s treasures were taken to Taiwan, so they don’t have many national artifacts on display. We did get the chance to hike up Mount Huashan. 


Not exactly the type of trails you find in Boulder. 

The hike to the top was about three hours. It wasn't exactly the world's most dangerous hiking trail as some websites would have you believe. But we also didn't get to go on the most dangerous part because it was too crowded at the top.
It's a Colorado tradition.

I think we would have had a much better view from the top if it wasn’t for the smog.

    There is a 3 hour walking trail you can do to make it to the top. From there, there is a shorter trail that takes you further, this is the plank road, but it gets very crowded. So you can get mostly all the way to the top without passing through the plank road.
