General presentation
Mount Hua
Granitic peaks, temples and stairways form one of the five sacred mountains of China.
North peak of Hua Mountain, South peak of Hua Mountain and Chang Kong Trail give the most telling landmarks of Hua Mountain. Together, they form a destination where mountain reliefs, heritage and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
North peak of Mount Hua
The northern peak serves as a gate to the upper ridges after a steep ascent. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked before departure; water, warm clothing and hourly margin remain useful, even in summer.
Place indismissible
South peak of Mount Hua
The highest point dominates the plain of the Yellow River from a rocky ridge. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked before departure; water, warm clothing and time range remain useful, even in summer.
Place indismissible
Chang Kong Trail
Boards attached to the cliff make up a strictly framed optional passage. An early visit allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
