Mt.Huashan - Needless to say it is very beautiful and Strenuous hike. My Hike Route: Start Yuquan Temple (645AM) -> (3.5 Hrs) North Peak  -> (2 Hrs) East Peak  -> (1 Hr) South Peak  -> (0.5 Hrs) West Peak  -> (1.5 Hrs) North Peak -> (1.5 Hrs) Down to bus stop by Stairs. Total time : 13 Hours Fitness level: Medium. Stayed at Huashuan FengGuang inn on Friday Night. Paid about 13 USD on Ctrip.com. Started at 630AM from hotel. 645: Reached ticket office. Paid 360 for two of us. It was foggy and pleasant. The climb starts steadily and not many steps. It is well paved. We go past several scenic points and took pictures. There are many stalls all along the way. I carried just two bottles of water, to keep the weight low. I bought 4-5 bottles at different spots and made them add salt in water to replenish my body. Had lot of water melon as well. After a couple of hours you will hit the steps. It is just the beginning :-) You will see some steep ones and
