How to get on top
On the mountain you can get in two ways there are two inputs, one entrance from the westwhich is equipped with a cable car and climb on top only on it (the cost of lifting one end costs 140 yuan, it is about $ 20), the cost of the bus that will take you to 3 $.
Second entrance from the northHere there is also a cable car, but it costs a little cheaper than 120 yuan in both directions. But also there is a hiking route with steps carved in the rock, and rope bridges. But the path will not just take you about 6-8 hours on the rise.
What is the death trail
On the top, it opens simply amazing views of the mountains and nature of China.
The path on the mountain Huashan is a very popular tourist place both at visitors from other countries and the Chinese themselves. Therefore, a decent line is very often created, so get ready for at least 20-30 minutes to simultaneously in it. (Maybe of course you are lucky, and you will pass it, but we are not lucky).
Although the photographs of the death path looks awesome, it is almost safe, since before starting you are given a special safety ammunition (belts and cable with a carbine total value of about 30 yuan is 4 bucks approximately).
After you get an ammunition and give out our things to the storage chamber (so that I would accidentally lose them while walking along the trail at the bottom).
We'll have to wait a little more, since the trails have only one end and you can return from there just the same way, trying to rear with people going back to you at the meeting.
Only after that you can go on the road. The trail begins with a descent on the metal pile of pile of stone. 
In the bottom you will be celebrated by a Chinese who will help you preclude carabiners from one cable to another.
Somewhere in the middle of the way, in the hole in the rock is a booth where you can make first-class photos, but if you have a phone with you, you will not need the main thing. Do not drop your gadget at the bottom. The Chinese say that this happens very often maybe they do to sell their photos, but it is better to be restrained.
The time route lasts only 15-20 minutes. Rising to the top you can see a small sacred altar and a beautiful landscape opening from the mountain Huashan.
Be sure to visit the death path, get new emotions and enjoy the views of the surrounding nature.
