As one of the Five Holy Mountains in China, it impresses visitors with its majestic and precipitous appeal, its summit (South Peak) overlooking the surrounding valleys and perilous peaks. Visitors can follow the zigzag an tortuous path to reach its summit and at the same time they will feast our eyes on the charming scenery and endless vistas.

5 star experience for all age groups - We booked a last minute tour with Michael two nights before our trip to xi'an. I was initially worried about our small group that varies in age, fitness and language differences. But Michael made it so fun and interactive. My parents loved chatting about ancient China's history with Michael and discussing real estate development around the city. My husband enjoyed making jokes together with Michael and being introduced with all types of xi'an famous snacks and noodles. Michael is genuine, thoughtful, hard working and respectful. So does our driver Mr. Ting. The trip was seamless - we did a lot in one day, Huashan west peak, east peak, different restaurants and terracotta. I would recommend Michael to all my friends.

A must do (especially with Michael) - Michael emailed us a few days prior to the trip recommending we ask the hotel for a breakfast bag as we were leaving early (I highly recommend you choose the earliest time slot). He arrived at our hotel promptly and even brought some local steamed buns for us to try. His knowledge of both sites was incredible and he spoke brilliant English which made it even easier. Not only did we have a great time, we have also made a friend and will be staying in touch. If you are in Xi’an, this is a tour you HAVE to do!

The best tour in Xi’an! - This was by far the best tour I experienced! Michael picked me up on time at my hotel and even delivered breakfast and snacks for the day. He is very friendly and we had a nice chat while driving to Mt. Huashan. At the mountain he organized the tickets and we went up - he told me a lot about the history of the mountain and showed me the best spots for pictures (he also takes pictures of you if you want to). After the mountain we went to the Terracotta Army museum. He knows a lot about their history and showed me very interesting details / pictures about them. Afterwards he drove me to the airport and on the way there he made a quick stop to show me some more attractions of the city. It was an amazing day! If you want to see the best of Xi’an with an amazing guide you definitely should book Michael’s tour!
