Hi,
A girlfriend and I are doing a tour along the Silk Road, China in May 2025 and are interested in your Mt Huashan day tour. However we are both 70 years old, and although quite fit, don’t feel confident to hike those incredible but steep mountains between the north and west cable cars.
Is it possible to take the north cable car up and down and then drive to the west cable car to go up and down?
We realise we will miss some stunning views in between.
Thankyou and regards, Jan

Hi I would be very interested in your tour for two people in next april but I was wondering if it was possible to avoid the Changkong Plank Road and take an alternative route but still do the same summit and parts?
Many thanks!

Hi, I’m very interested in your tour. We are a group of 4 from Australia. We are all quite fit and want to see all 5 peaks in one day. Is it possible to adjust the tour to go up by cable car at 1 peak (North or West) and down by the other cable car (North or West)? I understand this would cost extra and we are happy with that. Also, is it possible to leave Xian earlier to help with crowds/queues?
Many Thanks,
Sam

Hello, I would like to do the Mount Huashan tour on the 13th May.
Would it be possible to join a group already going?
I can not afford the price of a single person trip.
I am getting the sleeper train at 7pm, would I be back in time to do the tour and get my train?
Thank you,
Joanna
