This time I stayed at 【Huazhu·Qishan Homestay (Mount Hua Scenic Area Visitor Center Branch)】, and it was a wonderful surprise!
The homestay is located 200 meters south of Huayin Mount Hua Visitor Center, within walking distance! Guests enjoy free shuttle service to and from Huashan High-Speed Rail Station/Bus Station/Mount Hua Train Station and the Mount Hua Visitor Center🚌~ Plus, the owner gives a pair of climbing gloves as a gift🧤!
