This time Huashan is really good, the scenery is beautiful, the tour guide Mei Nana is very good, there is a problem to solve in time, that is, when the mountain is queuing up to do the ropeway, the mountain is out of power, wait for a while before calling, if you don’t need to hurry back to Xi’an, you can play for a long time."
