One-day Tour of Huashan Special Forces!

At seven in the morning, I took a tourist bus from Xi'an to Mount Hua, which took a little over two hours. I arrived at the visitor center after nine o'clock.

If you're in good physical condition and have enough time, you can also try night climbing on Mount Hua—climbing from the base to the summit at night will get you there just as the sun rises (a friend has tried it).
