Hey, family! I conquered Mount Hua again

Recently, I've suddenly become obsessed with the outdoors, so I went on an impromptu trip to Mount Hua 🏔 This isn't my first time challenging Mount Hua. I climbed it once many years ago. This time, I did a night climb, starting at 10:30 PM from Yuquan Courtyard, passing through the North Peak, Central Peak, East Peak, and South Peak, and finally taking the cable car down from the West Peak. It was a twelve-hour journey in total. Along the way, I only took short breaks before continuing, with endless stairs in sight. After a super long, narrow, and steep path, I reached the North Peak. Then, I headed to the East Peak with great enthusiasm to watch the sunrise, but it was so crowded that I couldn't get in. After taking a few random photos, I went to the Chang Kong Plank Road. Climbing the mountain made me realize that a 500-meter path full of stairs can take an hour to complete. I experienced the Chang Kong Plank Road many years ago, so it wasn't unfamiliar this time. But I sincerely recommend that if you want to experience the Chang Kong Plank Road, you should queue up early, or the waiting time will make you question life. We couldn't see the sunrise at the East Peak, so we immediately went to queue for the Chang Kong Plank Road at the South Peak. When we arrived at 6 AM, we were already in the second batch, but the experience was still great, and I exhausted my last bit of energy there. I'm proud to say that I successfully reached the highest peak of Mount Hua, which gave me a great sense of achievement. After the exhausting twelve hours, by the time I reached the West Peak, my feet were numb, and I had to rest after every few steps. I went back to the hotel and slept for a whole day, canceling all travel plans. After returning home to Chongqing, I slept for another day. Although I was extremely tired and nearly collapsed, I felt more joy and satisfaction. This experience will definitely become an unforgettable memory in my life. Getting closer to nature makes the heart happier. Climbing mountains is really fun, and I can't wait to do it again next time! 💕
