One day trip

Hi, as you have only one day. I suggest you take the cable car up to the North Peak and then hike to reach the other four peaks. After that, take the cable car down the mountain. You do not need to stay hotel near the mountain. Just take the morning shuttle bus from Xian to the east gate of Mt. Huashan.

take the bullet train from xi'an in the morning,30minutes later youcan get to the foot of huashan,then take west peak cable up to the mount,the travel arond four main peaks ,go down fron the north peak,one day time is enough for you ,in the afternoon you can take bus or train bacccccck to xi'an,good trip
