Mt. Huashan's Dangerous Trail... |
Mt. Huashan is famous for its
egregious cliffs. One cliff seems to be steeper than the previous one.
The temple for God of Mt. Huashan is situated on the South Peak, one of
the most difficult cliffs to climb. If you like adventure vacations it
is absolutely the place to go. It’s dangerous, tough and exciting!

Traditionally, only the giant plateau
with its summits to the south of the peak Wuyun Feng ( Five Cloud
Summit) was called Taihua Shan (Great Flower Mountain). It could only be
accessed through the ridge known as Canglong Ling (Dark Dragon Ridge)
until a second trail was built in the 1980s to go around Canglong Ling.
Three peaks were identified with respective summits: the East, South,
and West peaks.
|
The East peak consists of four
summits. The highest summit is Zhaoyang Feng (Facing Yang Summit, i.e.
the summit facing the sun). Its elevation is reported to be 2096.2
meters and its name is often used as the name for the whole East Peak.
To the east of Zhaoyang Feng is Shilou Feng (Stone Tower Summit), to the
south is Botai Feng ( Broad Terrace Summit) and to the west is Yunű
Feng (Jade Maiden Summit). Today, Yunű Feng considered its own peak,
most central on the mountain.
|
The South peak consists of three
summits. The highest summit is Luoyan Feng (Landing Goose Summit), with
an elevation of 2154.9 meters. To the east is Songgui Feng (Pines and
Junipers Summit), and to the west is Xiaozi Feng (Filial Son Summit).
|
The West peak has only one summit and it is known as Lianhua Feng, meaning Lotus Flower Summit. The elevation is 2082.6 meters.
