Route A: Cable car ascend to/descend from North Peak
-- The cheapest option but require a good physical stamina if you want to cover all peaks.

Route B: Cable car ascend to/descend from West Peak
-- The most expensive option as cable car from/to West Peak covering longest distance to allow you the minimum walking. Also, it has the best views at the West Peak.

Route C: Cable car ascend to West Peak, descend from North peak by cable car   
-- A nice option if you are not that full of energy but still want to cover all peaks (with medium cost and hiking).

Tour includes travel to and from Huashan, with guide helping to purchase tickets (guide does not actually go up Huashan with you). Useful if looking for hassle free experience i.e. no need to work out public transportation timings and options, or tickets required

It was a very rigorous hike but worth every excruciating moment. I would recommend any traveler to the Shaanxi region to visit this amazing place. One thing I will say is that I expected a more guided tour but walking the mountain solo allowed me to meet some great people and even created a friendship that will last far beyond the hike. Be prepared to walk atleast 10 kilometers if you want to see all the main peaks. I didn't even get the chance to view the middle peak so to view all the peaks must be atleast a 12-13 kilometer hike so be prepared for this. I wasn't physically prepared so my calves are still burning but it was worth it. Also definitely place a lock on the mountain where no one else has placed one because it gives a sense of connection to the mountain.

My partner and I had a blast on this tour! We booked at the last minute for the next day but they were great. They returned emails within 10-15 minutes and when I called them via Skype from our Xi'an hotel, their English was easily understandable. We wanted a day of being catered to and that is exactly what we got. We were told that our guide would call between 5-8 p.m. to verify pick-up but we were out at dinner. We came back to find message on our phone; the first at 5:05 p.m.We were picked up on time by our guide Tony and our driver Mr. Wu. They were friendly and engaging and water ready for us. Tony took care of everything (buying tickets and pointing us in the right direction). He made a point of repeatedly telling us to take our time, that no matter when we descend, he will be waiting. When he came down four hours later, he surprised us by offering more water and fresh fruit (oranges and one of the local apples which are huge).Team, thank you again! It was one of our highlights of Xi'an.

Our tour guide Isaac was really helpful in getting us the tickets, explaining how everything works, where to go and what to do in emergencies. We originally wanted to go up to the north peak and come down via the north peak but he mentioned this would mean doubling the hike time and recommended we go from the west peak to the north peak and this was honestly the better option and we're glad he recommended it. Walking the mountain trail offers amazing views and is a great experience and I recommend going with this tour group - there are so many tickets involved and it can get confusing so it's good to have a support system there!
