If you're planning to climb Mount Hua with a child, you can directly copy this guide

💰Tickets: You need to buy tickets for the shuttle bus, entrance, and cable car. Except for those who choose to hike up the mountain, all other tickets are mandatory. Children under 1.2m do not need to buy any tickets. There are package tickets available on certain platforms, with a total cost of 305 per person for the 'West Up, North Down' route. I personally think this is the most convenient option, you just need to swipe your ID at each gate. ⛰️Route choice: I highly recommend the 'West Up, North Down' route for those with children! It's not as tiring, and you can visit all the peaks. 🚡West Peak → South Peak (Plank Road in the Sky) → East Peak → Central Peak (Turning of the Sparrowhawk) → North Peak 🕐Tour time: Because we were with a child, we couldn't just walk, we had to make it fun. We played and walked, strolled around, and played with cats and dogs along the way. We started at eight in the morning and finished at eight in the evening. 🧗🏻‍♂️The most interesting and dangerous parts of Mount Hua are the 'Plank Road in the Sky' and 'Turning of the Sparrowhawk'. ❗️ People over 55 years old and under 1.5 meters are not allowed to visit. If you want to experience these, make sure to arrive before 12 o'clock, otherwise, you will have to wait in a long queue. 👔Equipment: Hiking poles are not necessary; gloves are recommended as many paths require holding onto iron chains; a backpack is a must, as many places require the use of both hands and feet, a single shoulder or handbag would be very inconvenient.
