Upon arrival at Mt. Huashan, your tour guide will help you go through the entrance and get an eco-bus to the lower station of the West Peak to take the cable car up the mountain. During the 20-minute ride, experience the thrill of speeding over the steep cliffs. Then walk a little further, and you will reach the top of the West Peak. Fully enjoy the breathtaking scenery. Next, continue your travel experience to the East Peak, which also has the reputation of Facing Sun Peak as it is the best place to enjoy the sunrise on Mt. Hushan. After that, your guide will accompany you on about an hour’s hike to the South Peak. Afterwards, get back to the West Peak via a 300-meter-long (984-foot-long) ridge, which winds like a dragon and is one of the perilous sections for climbers to challenge themselves. At last, let’s descend the mountain by cable car and take the eco-bus to the exit. After the tour is completed, we will take you back to downtown Xi’an and drop you off at your hotel.

We guarantee 100% No Shopping Stops in our tours. When you check some other tours, if they don't mention no shopping, they MUST have commissioned based shopping stops as terracotta warriors factory or tea ceremony. Even you don't see shopping related words in their itineraries or product introduction, it is indeed a shopping tour. Be sure to check out with them about the shopping stops and read reviews from their clients carefully to see what the real experience would be. By joining a shopping tour like that, your time spent on attractions will be shortened, and you will be pressured to buy overpriced items. Normally the so called terracotta warriors factory or tea ceremony is the tourist trap. You have to stay there an hour or more for those travel agents to get the commission from the factory stores. If you prefer to enjoy the tour thoroughly, you are suggested to choose a tour without any annoying shopping stops just like ours.
We offer free pick-up within the Second Ring Road of the Xi'an city. To ensure the morning pick-up going smoothly, we suggest you choose centrally located downtown hotels. If your hotel is beyond our free pick-up range, you may need to get to a meeting point or pay extra for the pick-up. Your travel consultant is ready to help.
Travelers will be picked up in the morning according to their hotel locations. The exact pick-up time will be confirmed the day before. Please be ready at the hotel lobby at least 5 minutes in advance, which is the maximum waiting time. For travelers who are late, please go to meet the group and pay for the taxi personally. No-show is non-refundable.
Please provide the correct passport information for booking the real-name entrance tickets. And also please make sure to carry the same identification for entry while traveling. Otherwise, entry might not be permitted. If you forgot your passport and need to get back to fetch it, please pay for the transport and later meet the group by yourself.
Departures are guaranteed with 3 persons. Group Size: About 6 people. There are chances that 10% of the tour groups will exceed 6 people but we will make proper arrangements.
Important notes
• The pick-up time will be sent to you one day before your day trip starts. If you haven't received the pick-up message before 19:00, contact the supplier anytime via phone 18240876880 or 029-85236688.
