Xian to Hua Shan mountain and plankwalk

Plankwalk Xian China

Named as World’s Most Dangerous Hiking Trail

Last days I spend wit two Swedish guys on Hua Shan mountain near Xian. We took the train early and walked up the mountain to the West Peak. On that point we booked a hostel an visit the real West Peak. The hostel was hard to sleep very cold and hard beds. At 4.30 we climbed via the central Peak to the East Peak to see the sunrise. It was cloudy so the sunset was nog that beautiful as we hoped. But after the sunset we tried the plankwalk. Thats a awesome expirience! Walk on plank with nothing beneath. We did the full round to see the other peaks. Now we are tired of the thousands of stairsteps and ready to grap a deserved beer at the hostel!
