I climbed Mount Hua in August 2019 and the plank walk was closed, maybe someone who has been more recently can help.

It’s possible but would leave you with a short time at Mount Hua, it is about two hours drive from central Xian. If you have a short day it is better to see the Terracotta Army in the morning, where you need about two and a half hours to see all the exhibits.

Hi, I have been two years in a row in June and both days we went were clear and beautiful. You need to get to the plank walk by 12pm as it took 4 hours for the waiting time and to do the walk. Depending on how long you want to spend on the mountain but you can get the bus up the north side and walk to all peaks. Or you can shorten the walk and go up the west side and go to the south peak where the plank walk is & back down the west side again. Hope this helps 😊

Hello, Yes, when you purchase the ticket it gets you a ride to the mountain from your hotel, an English speaking driver, the entrance fee to the park and a "one way" bus ticket to the bottom of the cable car. You will need to purchase the cable ticket and return bus ticket to the park entrance. So yes, you can go to the top of the cable car and simply walk around there.

Hi, you pay extra for the tickets but our guide had a local contact purchase them on our behalf before we arrived, so no queuing for tickets. There is still lots of queuing to be had though, security, cable cars etc, but all moved quickly. Be aware this is a seriously steep mountain so your young children will need a lot of supervision. Well worth the effort, hope you enjoy the adventure.

Sorry. I’m not bruce. You can book or inquire about his services through the

That would be the easiest and shortest way up and down. Don’t know if the plank walk will be open. It was closed when I visited due to weather.
