Huashan, or Mount Hua, is one of China’s five great mountains and holds a special place in Taoist tradition, with several sacred temples and ancient pavilions dotting its steep paths. The mountain is renowned for its dramatic, knife-edge trails that reward climbers with awe-inspiring views, though there’s also a cable car for a more leisurely ascent.
