#1 - Mount Hua and Plank Walk
Huashan Scenic AreaLength: 4.4 mi • Est. 4 h 34 m
This route starts at the base of the mountain which you can get to by bus and gondola.
Much of the trail had been cut out of the rock, especially the thousands of steps. Many of the steps are only about 4 to 6 inches deep and there are chains lining the whole trail up the mountain.
As you get to the "golden lock pass" you notice many locks locked to the chains. The locks are typically brought by couples and placed on the mountain to bring a long lasting love to their relationship. Then you see the plank walk which is secured by harnesses and cables. At the end of the plank walk is an old Buddhist temple.
