China High speed Rail to HuaShan north from Xi’An Heading To West Peak

We were in Xi’An, China! On one of our days, we went to the famous Mount Hua (Hua Shan) by public transport. It was an interesting journey, with many transfers, as we were doing it ourselves.

Sequence as follows:
1. Take the Xi'An Metro from our Hotel (Sheraton Xi'An North) to Xi'An North High Speed Rail Station
2. Buy High Speed Rail ticket, take the High Speed Train to HuaShan north Station (120km)
3. From station, took a taxi to visitor center. Along the way, taxi driver brought us to a tour agent to buy our tickets, as the price was the same, and we would be able to skip the queues at the visitor center.
4. Arrive at visitor center, entered the gates, take the blue bus to West Peak Cable Car base station.
5. Arrive at West Peak base station - it was a very long uphill walk (many stairs) to the cable car proper! We took the chair lift to go up.
6. Then we finally get onto the West Peak Cable Car, which brings us to the West Peak.
7. From here, it is on foot - we only visted West and South peaks.

And to get back to Xi'An, do the reverse.

This video covers the first part of the journey. We arrive at Xi'An North High Speed Rail station. Then we buy tickets, and then get into the station itself. The train ride was fairly short, only 30 minutes. We bought some cooked food at the railway station to bring up the mountain to eat. Upon arriving at HuaShan North, we took a taxi, bought tickets from the tour agent, then the taxi driver dropped us off at the visitor center. A short walk to the entrance for tour groups. Once we were in, we boarded the blue bus for the West Peak. The buses move only when they are full. It was a 40 minute ride to the West Peak base station for cable car! And that is where this video ends. More videos of our HuaShan experience below!

We took the chair lift up, to the West Peak Cable Car. This saved us some walking.
