What an amazing place! It's breathtaking! We opted not to hike the 3-5 hours to get to the North Peak (1615m), so we took the cable car in about 10 minutes...it gives you a good idea of how steep the mountain is! Definitely take the time to make the hike over Green Dragon Ridge to get to the other peaks. It's a tight path with steps carved into the rocks and some pretty sheer drops off the side! But there are places to stop and enjoy the view or have some food and a cup of tea. We went in the winter and everything was ice so it was pretty slow going (people are going up and down the same sections at times, and lines backed up pretty quickly). The view is amazing and once you're over the ridge you can go around to all of the peaks in a loop on more walking trails. The highest peak is the West Peak (2083m), and the views are incredible!

This really is amazing!! I'm definitely going to make it back there some day to spend some more time on the mountain and do the full hike up. If you're in Xi'an take a day to come here! :)
