I have many concerns during this trip. But the tour agency was very responsive and assuring. While i didn't get to take the cable car to west peak,the refund was made on the spot and my family took a cable car via north peak. Tilla was exceptionally nice and sweet. She briefed us what to expect at the mountain and escorted us up to the cable car so we wouldn't get lost in the midst of the crowd. Mr Gao's driving skill was superb. I fell asleep like a baby while in the car.i felt safe with them.

We arranged our trip through Viator and were given the ground agents:
Jeff Ning Tours.
Our guide for the day was Francy who spoke excellent English. Despite the fact there was no food included in our package, Francy bought lots of little snacks with her and gave then to us which was so kind.
Unfortunately for us it was pouring down with rain when we left Xian at 6am which always meant there was a possibility that the plank walk would not be open.
We were luckily enough to have a quick moving queue for tickets to the West cable car with a further 30 minutes queueing for the buses to take you to the actual cable car at the foot of the mountsin.
Be warned when you arrive at the cable car there are loads of steps to climb.
The cable car queue was about another 30 minutes but again it was steadily moving.
Pretty cloudy and misty all of the way up with just the one break to see some mountain tips.
I went off at a bit of a pace as I wanted to get the the plank walk before the crowds built up.
It took me an hour to get to the start of the plank walk and that included stopping at a couple of picture points.
Unfortunately the walk was closed as it was deamed to slippery even though it wasn't raining on the top of the mountain.
I walked back and went to the West Lotus peak which was pretty.
Very dissapointing not to do the plank walk as the trip cost £122 albeit that did include everything (not food) on the day.
Water at the start and end of the day was do provided.
Extremely happy with the service and our guide.

View @ Mt Huashan was amazing, I am afraid of heights so I kept looking forward and hardly looked back nor looked down, there are some steep short steps, some uneven steps but the overall experience was overwhelming! This Huashan hike are for almost everyone young and old, super impressed!!
We totally enjoyed the hike but due to the holiday season, the waiting time to take the cable car is almost an hour hence we didn’t manage to climb up all the way to the East peak. Shame but will keep for the next visit;)
Tour guide speaks English and is very knowledgeable about the area.
One suggestion for the tour agency is to provide client with tour guide information a few days prior to the excursion.

Dodo was a great tour guide. She was able to answer all our questions about the mountain. She also explains the history. This tour pays for the cable car and shuttle bus, most others do not. The guide takes you up the cable car and then you hike on your own. Suggestions on where to go are provided. Bring snacks or lunch to eat on your hike!

Our knowledgable well English spoken guide Dodo took us to see five picks of Hua Mountain. Those truly magnificent natural trails worth a trip. Steep, rocky, beautiful. One has to be prepared to do hundreds of steps up and down; good shoes are the must and to keep your balance is important. Picturesque and breathtaking nature. Highly recommend!

If you’re looking for a totally unique tour experience you can’t beat Jeff Ning’s Private Day tour of Mt. Huashan with Round-Trip Cable Car from Xi’an. Our guide, Tilla, was excellent and gave us an authentic flavor of Xi’an with very colorful detail of it’s history and culture. This tour was worth the money just for the bus ride to the mountain. She really was phenomenal! Once we got to Huashan we boarded a cable car that provided us with a once in a lifetime experience of breathtaking views and plenty of photo opps. Once the cable car reached it’s destination we were offered more spectacular views and plenty of hiking. Comfortable shoes are a must! We wore light weight tennis shoes and did fine.
This was a great tour and a fantastic experience.

What a fantastic view on the way up with cable car. If you are acrophobic, this is one way to conquer. But all in all, a nice trip.
Also, our guide was very accommodating, we spent 2 hours between the passage when we agreed on only 1, because the view was just totally amazing.

Jeff Ning tours were wonderful, great to deal with via email before and during our trip. The driver was great.
It made our day trip to Hua Shan much less stressful.
The plank walk was closed though.
Would highly recommend Jeff Ning

Lily was our tour guide! She was fantastic! She was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Would definitely book another tour with her again!
The tour picked us up and dropped us off from our hotel. Lily discussed and helped us plan where to go on the mountain. We chose to start and stop from the west peak. We went to the west, south and central peak before heading back to meet Lily at the top of the mountain and riding the gondola back down.
As for the mountain, we went during the winter so there were not as many people. Once up top, it is not dangerous at all. Most trails are paved and have hand rails/chains. It snowed a lot when we were there so we didn’t get to see much of the views or do the narrow plank tail (it was closed) However, we still had a great time!

It can be combined same mountain system but two different places. Go down from cable and take a bus from the bottom to the temple.
Hi! If I do the day tour, would it be realistic to catch a flight around 10:30 pm the same day?
