Huashan - South Peak

There are many Chinese pine trees on the way to the South Peak. They are very lush and quite tall, and their lifespan is about 10 times longer than mine.

The South Peak is also known as the Luoyan Peak, the highest peak of Mount Huashan. It probably means a place where birds live (personal understanding), after all, the place they can fly to is only that high.

Every iron chain on Mount Huashan has a blessing belt and a longevity lock tied by tourists. I left my blessing belt on the South Peak.

The blue sky and sun seen from the South Peak. Actually, it was not until I got here that I understood why people who practiced cultivation in ancient times had to go down the mountain once every few years. It was because going up and down the mountain was too tiring. It might take two or three days to go down the mountain, and the road was full of dangers. It was not comparable to today at all.

Slowly climb to the top of the South Peak. It is basically a mountain road, mainly stone steps. But most of the roads are easy to walk on.

After climbing that section of stone steps, the last section of the road to the top of the South Peak is a wooden escalator. I didn't expect that the road to the top of Huashan's highest peak was much easier than I imagined. Many elderly people were able to climb up.

As soon as I came up, I quickly climbed the railing on the right side, but unexpectedly found that on the right side of the stairs, looking west to the top of the West Peak, the location was very good~

It seems that the West Peak is quite far away and is much shorter than the South Peak. Even Quling seems very narrow. The plain land in the distance is more visible.

To the south are rolling mountains. Standing on the highest peak, you will truly understand what it means to look down on all the other mountains.

Standing on the highest peak, the West Peak seems a bit small.

There are a lot of people on the top of the South Peak. It's almost crowded. So it's wise to grab the railing and walk along the side.

There are wire meshes installed between the railings and iron cables on the top of the mountain. The protection is tight and solid, and it is more reliable. You can move along the railings on the top of the mountain a little bit. It is relatively safe to avoid the crowds, but it does not delay the enjoyment of the beautiful scenery.

Lean on the railing and look into the distance, and experience the feeling of standing on the top of Huashan Mountain with infinite scenery on the dangerous peak~

After all, it is the highest peak of Huashan Mountain. There are many locks and red silk hanging on the iron ropes of the railings, which also adds a touch of bright color to the green mountains.

There is a signboard for the South Peak near the south railing in the middle of the South Peak. It is also the place where people gathered to take photos. I finally managed to get close to it and took a photo.

South Peak is the highest peak of Huashan. There are pine forests for miles in the mountains, interspersed with cypresses, and thick shades all over the ground. There is Laojun Cave on the top of South Peak. There are two big characters "Zhenyuan" on the highest rock. In addition, there are Laozi Peak, Alchemy Furnace, and Bagua Pool on South Peak. These attractions are all related to the legend of Laozi. There is Taishang Spring in the north of Laojun Cave, which flows eastward under the stream. It is now called "Yangtian Pool". The spring water is green all year round. There is a stone archway "Nantianmen" under the cliff on its east side. There is also Jintian Palace built in the Ming Dynasty on South Peak, also known as Baidi Temple, which enshrines Shaohao, the god of Huashan. There are two other attractions on the mountain road from South Peak to East Peak: one is "Bi Zhao Cliff", where the famous Taoist Chen Tuan took refuge in a cave here to avoid the emperor's call; the other is Changkong Plank Road, which is carved along the cliff. Visitors need to hold the iron rope and wooden railings to pass through, which is another dangerous place on Huashan.

Huashan South Peak is the highest peak in Huashan Scenic Area, of course, it is not much higher than East Peak and West Peak. There is a high-altitude plank road on the South Peak, which is a popular place on the Internet. There were many people queuing that day, so I gave up. The following 5 photos, the first one was taken from the East Peak of the South Peak, and the other 4 were taken from the South Peak of the opposite peak. The opposite peak is steep and dangerous, and is to the south of the South Peak, and does not belong to the Huashan Scenic Area.

The most classic landmark stone carving, I felt that even if you climbed Huashan, even if you didn’t go anywhere else, you would still come here to check in and take a photo. When I got here, I was so tired that I couldn’t control my expression...

The highest peak of Huashan. The only drawback of this trip is that there were so many people taking pictures here that I didn’t have much time to take pictures of the beautiful scenery of the South Peak. What a pity!

Huashan's Nanfeng is not the highest among the mountains, but the angle of watching sunrise and sunset next to it is particularly good

The highest peak of Huashan, a must-see when visiting Huashan! 2154.9 meters above sea level

The highest peak of Mount Huashan, you will be able to climb to the top and overlook all the other mountains. When you arrive at Mount Huashan, how can you not check in here?

The highest peak of Huashan Mountain, next to a small green pond is really a miracle, I don't know where the water comes from, from here you can see the beautiful scenery of the West Peak. The Changkong Plank Road is also halfway to the South Peak.

This should be the highest mountain. The scenery is very grand.

South Peak is the highest peak of Huashan. I climbed up there with my friends.

Huashan’s highest peak, I still have to go up, but I can’t see anything in the clouds

The highest peak of Huashan, take photos as a souvenir! 2018.11.10!

Next to the West Peak is the South Peak, which is also the highest of the main peaks! The Huashan Sword Contest is held at the South Peak.

Nanfeng is the highest peak of Huashan Mountain. The steep sky plank road is here. You must visit it.

It was hard to take photos because of the crowds. There was a long queue near the Sword Monument. The altitude was not high, so it was not too cold on the top of the mountain... Walking down 50 meters, it was probably the best angle to take photos of the West Peak. If you come here at dusk, the scenery will be even more beautiful.

South Peak is the highest peak of Huashan Mountain, with the widest view and the most magnificent scenery. From the top of South Peak, you can see the rolling hills of the surrounding mountains.

The landmark stone Huashan Sword Contest is here. Some people pose for photos here and charge for it, but most people choose to take photos here with their phones. It's quite orderly. Think about the photo poses in advance, otherwise you might not look natural when many people are looking at you.

South Peak is the highest peak of Huashan Mountain, and the scenery is also very good. In fact, there is basically no need to climb too high from Jinsuo Pass, and the distance between the peaks is not far.

The highest peak of Mount Huashan, it is also a must-visit attraction for tourists and the place where tourists are most concentrated.

This is the entrance to the Changkong Plank Road. We had to wait for a while because it is a one-way road. We had to go the same way and come back the same way. More than 20 people had to go down and come back before the next group of people could go. However, this is the most worthwhile place to visit in Huashan.

I am going to climb Huashan on July 20th. I plan to stay at the East Peak for one night and watch the sunrise on the 21st. I don't want to climb all night. Friends with the same itinerary can form a group. Because I booked a four-person standard room at the East Peak Jintian Villa, and there are only two of me, I hope to find one or two friends who are willing to share the room and share the room fee. My WeChat is michaelzhao198. Note that it is July 20, 2018!

It took us one hour to walk from the West Peak to the South Peak. The South Peak is 2,160.5 meters above sea level. It is the highest peak of Huashan Mountain and the highest peak of the Five Sacred Mountains. The ancients called it "the head of Huashan Mountain". When you climb to the top of the South Peak, you will feel that the sky is close at hand and the stars are within your reach. Looking around, you can see the undulating mountains, the Yellow River and the Wei River like silk threads, and the vast plains like silk and cotton. You can truly appreciate the majestic and broad momentum of Huashan Mountain and enjoy the magical interest of being in heaven and walking on clouds.

The highest peak of Huashan. If you take the route from west to north, it won't take long to walk from the West Peak. I'm not very strong, so I walked slowly for about 40 minutes. The South Peak should be the peak with the most people in the whole Huashan. It's really not easy to take a commemorative photo. There is only one stone tablet, and a lot of people cut in line and grab the camera when taking pictures. It reflects the low quality of Chinese people. The sea of clouds is very beautiful, and the opposite mountain peaks appear and disappear in the sea of clouds, which is really ethereal and dreamy.

South Peak is the highest peak of Huashan, and the Changkong Plank Road is here.

Looking back at the West Peak from the mountainside of the South Peak, a colorful ladder leads directly to the top of the peak. The west wall of the South Peak is steep and steep, with pine trees and no birds.

South Peak was shrouded in mist, a bit gloomy. The joyous atmosphere in the morning could not break through the thick fog. Could it be that the old almanac was wrong?

I personally think it is best to take photos at the top of the South Peak!

There are fewer people here and the background is more vivid

Of course if you have a friend or a tripod

That’s even better! You can take pictures of the surrounding mountains behind you.

The location is high and you can see the whole Huashan, but the wind is a bit strong today

The South Peak is the highest point of Huashan...

The road from South Peak to West Peak is very easy to walk.

The South Peak is much closer to the West Peak, and it only takes 40 minutes to get there.

Other people’s South Peak and my South Peak, ahhhhhh, there are too many people, I can only put my phone in to take a picture

South Peak is the highest point and the most crowded place. It is said to be the real location of the Huashan Sword Contest in Jin Yong's mind. Everyone is crowding in front of the Huashan Sword Contest stone tablet to take pictures.

South Peak is the highest peak of Huashan. There are pine forests stretching for miles in the mountains, interspersed with cypresses, and thick shades covering the ground. There are two scenic spots on the mountain road from South Peak to East Peak: one is the "Bi Zhao Cliff", where the famous Taoist Chen Tuan once lived in a cave here to avoid the emperor's call; the other is the Changkong Plank Road, which is carved along the cliff. Visitors need to hold the iron rope and wooden railings to pass through, which is another dangerous place on Huashan.

South Peak is the highest peak of Huashan

Each peak has a Huashan Sword Contest check-in stone tablet

It is the highest peak of Huashan Mountain. There are many people there and the summit area is small.

The highest peak of Huashan, the surroundings are extremely beautiful when standing at the foot of the South Peak, with a majestic momentum of swallowing up the mountains and rivers. Watch the sunrise from the South Peak.

There has been only one road to Mount Huashan since ancient times. The danger of Mount Huashan is well-deserved. I hiked up and down the mountain and stayed on the mountain for one night. I saw all five peaks in the east, west, south, north and center. It was shocking and exciting.

South Peak is one of the main peaks of Huashan Mountain and the highest peak of Huashan Mountain. It is called the top of Huashan Mountain. It is also called Falling Goose Peak because the geese flying south often stop here. Kou Zhun of the Song Dynasty once wrote here: "Only the sky is above, and no mountain is equal to it; looking up, the red sun is near, looking down, the white clouds are low."

The highest peak of Huashan, the South Peak, is also the peak where the Yaozi Flipped Over. Since you have come to Huashan, you must visit the highest point anyway.

The scenery was pretty good, but the climb was quite tiring on the first day, so I didn’t feel very energetic when I saw it.

The South Peak is divided into two parts, one is the Nantianmen Changkong Plank Road, and the other is Luoyan Peak, both of which are South Peaks. Luoyan Peak is the highest point of Huashan.

The top of the mountain is very small. Everyone goes up to take a photo and then needs to leave. When there are many people, you have to be very careful when turning around.

South Peak is the highest point of Huashan, with the broadest view and the most cliffs!

The simple route for most people is West Peak Cableway-West Peak-South Peak-East Peak-Middle Peak-West Peak Cableway. It takes 3-4 hours to complete the whole journey without rest. If you add North Peak, you need to add another 1-2 hours.

2017.7.28 The grandfather and I climbed Huashan Mountain for 7 hours and reached the highest peak - South Peak; the scenery was beautiful, the clouds and fog had cleared; it was a great feeling

The South Peak is the highest peak of Huashan Mountain. If you haven't been there, you haven't been to Huashan Mountain. The famous Sky Plank Road is also between the South Peak and the East Peak.

South Peak is the highest peak among the five peaks of Huashan. Compared with the West Peak, which has cliffs on both sides, South Peak has more steep stairs in the forest. Sometimes mist and cold wind seep out from the cracks of several large rocks nearby, which is very scary. You will also pass by the alchemy furnace halfway, but it was destroyed in the previous life, and the renovated building has no Taoist feeling at all.

The South Peak is steep, and many celebrities have left their calligraphy here. Jin Yong's inscription "Huashan Lunjian" is here. However, in order to meet the needs of tourists to take photos, there are replicas of this inscription on the East Peak and the North Peak. It should be noted that the fence on the top of the South Peak is low and the stones are slippery, so don't be anxious (even on sunny days). If you make a mistake, you will regret it.

The South Peak Luoyan Peak is the highest peak of Huashan Mountain and also the highest peak of the Five Sacred Mountains, with an altitude of 2154.9 meters. From here you can have a panoramic view of the peaks of Huashan Mountain. On the same day, we saw the spectacular sea of clouds of Huashan Mountain, which was worth the trip.

South Peak, the top of Huashan Mountain, has an altitude of 2154.9.

The highest peak of Huashan, the Changkong Plank Road is inside the Nantianmen. Those who are brave can go for a walk.

The two big characters of Huashan are on the South Peak. Since we arrived at the South Peak at noon the next day, there were so many people there that we didn’t stay there for long.

The famous skywalk is at the South Peak, but I don't want to try it because I'm afraid of heights. The view of the West Peak from the South Peak is magnificent!

South Peak, the highest peak, has great views. Climbing to the South Peak makes you feel refreshed.

The commanding height of Huashan, the view is great.

After climbing the East Peak, you are not far from the South Peak. The Skywalk is exciting and worth a visit. There are safety belts for peace of mind.

Not far from Jintian Palace, you will reach the top of South Peak, where the snow is still falling. Groups of tourists gradually appear here, probably those who took the cable car up the mountain from the west line in the morning.

The "Huashan Sword Contest" monument on the South Peak stands in the snow, but there is no trace of the white deer. The surveying monument on the top of the peak clearly indicates the height of the main peak at 2154.9m. All the cliffs here are covered with snow, and only by clearing the snow by hand can the two big characters "Cantian" be seen.

We are not moving forward to the place where the legendary sword fight took place at Zhonghua Mountain.

The South Peak is the highest peak of Huashan, also known as Luoyan Peak. I remember it was more than 2,100 meters high.

Yay! The highest peak of Huashan! When we went there, the ground was already covered with snow! So exciting! After climbing to the top, the clear sky and the endless mountains came into view, and my heart suddenly became vast! :)

South Peak is the highest peak of Huashan Mountain, with an altitude of 2154.90 meters. It also has the most magnificent scenery and is the site of the Huashan Sword Contest.

The highest peak of Nanfeng, each peak has a certain height. There is also a wishing pond next to it. The view of all the other peaks is very small, which is what Nanfeng means.

The South Peak is 2154.90 meters above sea level. It is the highest peak of Huashan Mountain and the highest peak of the Five Sacred Mountains. The ancients respectfully called it the "Head of Huashan Mountain". When you climb to the top of the South Peak, you will feel that the sky is close at hand and the stars are within your reach. Looking around, you can see the undulating mountains, the vast Yellow River and the Wei River, and the vast plains. You can truly appreciate the majestic and broad momentum of Huashan Mountain and enjoy the magical pleasure of being in heaven and walking on clouds.

I don't know if it's the South Peak. I took too many photos, so I'll just upload these two.

You must go up, the South Peak is the highest peak, there are photo opportunities on it. If the weather is good, you must take photos.

The highest point of Huashan, overlooking all other mountains.

Now that you have reached the highest peak of the Five Great Mountains, you must take a walk!

We didn't stay long at this place. The Sky Plank Road is on the top of the South Peak. There is a temple next to it. Since I don't believe in Buddhism, I skipped the road next to it and went to the West Peak.

Great, I will definitely go to Nantianmen next time.

When you pass by the South Peak during the day, you will feel an inexplicable sense of happiness and striving, with beautiful scenery and good air.

I have the impression that the South Peak is the highest and most difficult to climb, but the scenery is beautiful.

There is actually nothing to see at the South Peak, it's all for the long sky plank road. But it's nice to look at the West Peak and the chess pavilion from the south wind

The highest peak among the five peaks of Huashan, with an altitude of 2154.9 meters
