Shaanxi (Chinese: 陕西; pinyin: Shǎnxī) is a province of the People's Republic of China.

It covers an area of over 205,000 km (79,151 sq mi) with about 37 million people. Xi'an – which includes the sites of the former Chinese capitals Fenghao and Chang'an – is the provincial capital. Xianyang, which served as the Qin dynasty capital, is located nearby. The other prefecture-level cities into which the province is divided are Ankang, Baoji, Hanzhong, Shangluo, Tongchuan, Weinan, Yan'an and Yulin.

Mount Huashan

Famous for its breathtaking cliffs and 12-kilometer-long winding path to its peak, this mountain features five peaks that resemble five petals of a flower.

Did a day trip to huashan from Xi An. We took the 810am train from xian north, then the green free shuttle bus from the train station to the mountain welcome centre where you buy cable car tickets. We bought tickets to the North Peak cable car and mandatory shuttle bus tickets to the cable car base. We reached the cable car station on top of the mountain at 1015am and started the trek! We went to all the peaks and even did the walk down to the chess pavilion (2-3h). Reached the East cable car station at 530pm, but we didn't realise the the queue was super long,and the cable car trip down takes 20 minutes! And from the East cable car station,it's another 40 minutes bus ride back to the welcome centre (reached at 745). Had to sprint to catch a cab and get to the train station as our train back to xian was 810pm. Would honestly say it is quite tiring but very doable! Lots of people of all shapes n sizes doing it too. The views are just amazing and you'll never get tired of it. There's lots of toilets on the mountain (but smelly) and also lots of food throughout although it gets pricier the higher into the mountain we go. We didn't need a jacket cos and i wore a tank top And shorts,it was a really nice n sunny day. lots of sunblocks, a cap and towel recommended!
