East Peak (Chaoyang Peak) Balcony It is also the best place to watch the sunrise and sunset. Believers and photographers come here all year round just to pay their respects and enjoy the spectacular view.
As one of the famous Five Mountains in my country, Huashan is tall and steep, towering into the sky, and is the youngest mountain among the Five Mountains. The numerous and obvious joints and faults, as well as the nearly horizontal faults and joints of different sizes, divide the complete granite into large and small rocks. In the cutting activities of the rivers, weathering and erosion have formed a majestic peak and many strange-shaped rocks, which also become a wonderful view of Huashan. Climbing to the top of Huashan, the landscapes of mountains, rocks, ancient monuments, temples and other landscapes are connected together, forming the golden tourist routes of Shaanxi East Line and Weinan South Line, and connecting with Xi'an and Luoyang, forming the Shaanxi Great East Line - the popular tourist route of the Han and Tang Ancient Road, which is the first choice for tourists to Shaanxi.
