Fourth, information about Huashan Scenic Area
Huashan is located on Jiling Road, Huayin City, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province.
Different from other famous mountains, Huashan is very challenging. To conquer Huashan in summer, the basics are sun protection clothing/ice sleeves + trousers. To upgrade to comfort, you can choose quick-drying short sleeves➕sun protection clothing➕yoga trousers➕five fingers. Socks ➕ fingerless hiking gloves ➕ mask ➕ hat.
Note that you should never wear short-sleeved shorts and go directly up the mountain. There are many mosquitoes and sunburns on the mountain. The consequences of exposing your skin will be sunburn or bites. In addition, toe socks are also convenient for climbing. They have better grip on the feet and will not fight with shoes. Fingerless hiking gloves are convenient for playing with mobile phones. There are some sections of mountain roads where you still need to hold on to ropes. The mask makes it easier to go to the toilet without getting fainted.
For food, you can bring some sandwiches, ready-to-eat rice balls, Snickers bars and other items, as well as two bottles of water. Whether you are doing cable car or hiking, you can replenish your energy when necessary!
The most important thing is to pay attention to the road under your feet when climbing a mountain, and don’t look around! If you don’t take pictures of the scenery when climbing a mountain, or if you don’t move to take pictures of the scenery, and you look left and right while walking, you will easily fall down.
