Mount Hua Best Hiking Route Guide!

As someone who is scared of heights, this climb has definitely challenged my limits! It wasn't necessarily the tallest mountain I've summited, but it is definitely the steepest.
Mount Hua offers multiple routes for aspiring hikers, the one we took was climbing up south, then down the north side.
✨This route is the easiest and most appropriate for beginner climbers as most of the hike is actually downhill. For hikers with experience I highly recommend taking the opposite route!✨
Along the way, there are multiple scary ridges and multiple peaks you can summit. On our way to the summit of all of them, we passed by multiple cliff kitties, interesting temples, as well as two via ferrata trails. 
⚠️ Those via ferrata trails are NOT for the faint of heart! They look incredibly steep as you're basically walking on a wooden plant nailed to the side of a cliff...Proceed with plenty of caution if you're interested in them.⚠️
It took us about 5 hours to complete this hike, and I highly recommend taking the cable 🚠 car both ways. It may seem pricey, but it's worth the experience by itself!
