Hi, I from Sg and hike Hua Shan in Dec 13'.
I flew Scoots to Tian Jin and change flight to Xi an (total cost ard $500sgd). Once in Xi' an, you can get to Hua Shan using the 3 methods stated in this website.
I took the regular bus at Cheng Dong Coach station (located north of city beside railyway station). Same station. I recommend not to buy the two way ticket though it cheaper. I miss my last bus (ard 6pm during winter) to return to Xian and end up taking the bullet train back (the taxi fare from Hua Shan entrance to train station cost ard 25CNY) Hence, forfeit the return bus ticket. I started to hike at 6am and manage to visit 2 peaks and the sky plank only.
