With over 3,100 years of history, Xi’an, also known as Chang'an, is one of the longest-enduring capital cities of old China. It was at its peak during the Han and Tang Dynasties and even though it’s no longer the capital of China, we can still find some evidence of its rich past in the artifacts and archaeological findings that have been preserved through the ages.

Got a spare weekend? Seen all there is to see in Xi’an? Then why not take a trip to nearby Huashan (Mount Hua) – one of China’s Five Sacred Mountains. With its highest peak being 2,145.9 meters, the view from the top of Mount Hua can be breathtaking, and seeing as it’s only a half an hour ride away from Xi’an via high-speed rail, the opportunity to embark on the infamous Huashan Mountain trek should not be missed. Huashan Mountain is largely made up of granite rock and features five peaks in total including 20 Taoist temples scattered around the area. One of the best ways of fully appreciating the splendor of this mountain range is by going on a two day trip whereby the first day is spent hiking to the top and staying the night at a hotel on the summit. But be warned: the Huashan Mountain trek is considered one of the most dangerous in the world so this is not a destination for the lighthearted (see more tips below).
