So the west, the north, the four peaks are turned first, walk down the mountain to the north peak to take the ropeway, the north, the west is the reverse, first take the ropeway to the north peak, then climb the mountain for an hour and a half to go to the four peaks, take the west peak cableway down the mountain, the west peak cableway really experience is very good, the scenery is beautiful, the time is long, exciting, The five peaks of Huashan have turned, but I didn’t go to the Changkong plank road and the dumplings turned over. (I couldn’t catch up with the ropeway at 19 o’clock when I went there). I left a regret. I hope that I will have the opportunity to come to Huashan again in many years. At that time, I will go directly to the Changkong plank road and dumplings.
