Whatīs about Huashan?
You can get there from Xian North Railway Station and get off at Huangshan north railway station.
There are green minivans outside the railway station to the mountain.
Itīs just an 30-40 min. ride by fast train.
Thanks qpr! I do have Huashan/Pingyao on my list of possibles. A little scared of heights, but maybe the cable car is feasible. I heard Pingyao is a bit touristy?
Also thought about visiting Dunhuang. Better to take overnight train or fly?
