I suggest checking the weather beforehand. It can change quickly, and I ended up missing out on the views because of sudden clouds blocking everything. Bring a light jacket just in case!

If you can, try to get there around 8 AM. The cable cars get super busy later in the day, and trust me, waiting in line for hours isn't fun!

Make sure to wear comfy shoes! I thought I could do this in sandals, but boy was I wrong – the hiking paths are no joke, and you'll want to enjoy them!

Don’t forget to bring snacks! The food options up there can be a bit pricey and not the greatest. I wish I had packed some more goodies.

One thing I learned the hard way is to make sure you have cash on hand. A lot of smaller restaurants and shops don't accept credit cards, so it's best to carry some local currency with you.
Tianzi Mountain
Hua Shan

My advice is to bring snacks and plenty of water. Food and drinks up there can be super pricey, and you don't wanna get famished while hiking.

Mount Kailash
I recommend starting the Kora trek early in the morning around 5 AM to beat the crowds and enjoy the peace of the sunrise. Trust me it's totally worth it.

My advice is to pack high-energy snacks instead of relying on local food stalls. Some places can be a bit pricey and the options are limited on the trail, so come prepared.
