Huashan Mountain and spectacular sunrise become a unique and characteristic landscape. The place for watching the sunrise on Huashan Mountain is located on the eastern peak of Huashan Mountain, where is the best location for watching sunrise.
Situated in Huayin City, 120 kilometers (about 75 miles) east from Xi’an City of Shaanxi Province, Mt. Huashan is known as ‘The Number One Precipitous Mountain under Heaven’. It is one of the five sacred mountains in China. The other four mountains are Mt. Taishan in Shandong, Mt. Hengshan in Hunan, Mt. Hengshan in Shanxi, and Mt. Songshan in Henan.
The best place of Mt. Huashan for watching sunrise is East Peak. It takes about 4 to 6 hours to climb up the mountain.Tour guides may promote climbing the mountain at night to see the sunrise.The reference time for sunrise and sunset is 5:00a.m.-6:00a.m. in spring, 4:30a.m.-5:20a.m. in summer, 5:00a.m.-5:20a.m. in autumn, 5:30a.m.-6:00a.m. in winter.
I enjoyed the night view over the villages, valleys, and few lights that I could see below. I don’t know any other word but “majestic” (again) to use to describe it.Grey light began appearing aroudn 4:15am, but it was nothing special. Somewhere between 4:30am and 5:30am I fell asleep, not sure where, ha, but when I woke up there was one other person near my location so I decided to get up and move around to stay warm. I waited as the sun slowly began to play with the colors of the sky, making them scenic enough for a picture. I met a British couple and a guy Iowa State while on the peak.
