At a height of 2,160 meters above sea level and about 120 km east of Xi'an , Huashan, literally Flower Mountain, is undoubtedly a sight for sore eyes.

This mountain is celebrated for its majestic breath-taking crags, steep paths, beautiful scenery and it is said to be the most precipitous mountain in the world. Until recently there was only one way to reach the top of the mountain.
