Mount Huashan 华山风景名胜区

Real-name timed reservation is mandatory and must be made in advance; ordinary tickets are not sold on site (only a special-ticket verification counter). Book through official Huashan channels/authorised platforms (e.g. '华山旅游服务平台' mini-program) up to 10 days ahead — the 10th day's inventory is released at 16:00 daily — and at least one day ahead is advised; one ticket per ID per day; sales stop when the daily cap is reached. Foreigners and Hong Kong/Macau/Taiwan visitors must use their passport or travel permit and exchange the ticket at the Special Ticket counter (some reviews report entering directly with a passport). Main-gate ticket, cable-car ticket and shuttle-bus ticket are separate products; groups must book at least 1 day ahead.

Cable-car gate entry 07:00–16:00

About ¥160. Adult main-peak-area ticket CNY 160 in peak season (1 Mar–30 Nov), CNY 100 in low season (1 Dec–end Feb; winter 2026 promo gave 20% off). Ticket is valid 2 days (48 h) from first entry and covers one visit each to the main peak area, Yuquan Temple, Xianyu and Xiyue Temple. Half-price CNY 80 during 15 Jul–10 Oct 2026 and 1–5 May 2026 (adult main-peak ticket only). Cable cars, shuttle buses (e.g. West Peak exit bus CNY 40, North Peak exit bus CNY 20) and adventure spots (Changkong Plank Road / Yaozi Fanshen, CNY 30 safety gear) are charged separately.

Plan about 8 hours.
