Mount Hua

Mount Hua, formerly known as "Xiyue", is located in Huayin City, Shaanxi Province. It is known as the "most dangerous mountain in the world" and is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. It is also a holy land of the mainstream Quanzhen sect of Taoism. It is not an ordinary mountain, but a challenge to courage, physical strength, and willpower, and a breathtaking natural painting.

The five main peaks each have their own wonders:
Dongfeng Peak (Chaoyang Peak): The best sunrise viewing platform, "Huayue Xianzhang" is the first of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong.
Xifeng (Lianhua Peak): In the myth "Baolian Lantern", the place where agarwood splits the mountain to save the mother, with a giant stone on the peak resembling a lotus flower, is the most majestic and beautiful.
Nanfeng (Luoyan Peak): The highest peak of Huashan (2154.9 meters) and also the highest point of the Five Sacred Mountains, known as the "Head of Huashan".
Beifeng (Yuntai Peak): Suspended on all sides, with a dangerous mountain terrain, it is an important transit station for overlooking other peaks and climbing.
Zhongfeng (Yunu Peak): attached to the west side of Dongfeng, it is said to be related to the jade playing of Qin Mugong's daughter.
