Just east of Xi’An is China’s “Magnificant Mountain.”  Though not spoken of with the same level of excitement and beauty of Huangshan (in Anhui Province), Huashan mountain is quite pretty.  Greg and I took the cable car up early in the day, spent all day hiking between the 5 major peaks, and walked back down on the aptly named “soldier’s Path” just in time to get to the village, pick up our bags, and get away from the sketchy town on the last bus.  My only regret was that I went during summer, so the China haze was settled over the mountains, obstructing much of the view.  I may suck it up, brave the cold, and try to come back here this year during my colder months.
