Out of the five famous mountains of China, Mount Hua is the westernmost peak, with a height of 7,070 feet (2,154.9 meters). Known as a mystical and spiritual place, the mountain has precipitous drops, making it both beautiful and dangerous. I’m afraid of heights, so I’ve never dared to hike it, but don’t let me stop you.
