I'm targeting to complete the whole circuit (all the peaks) by 11am and back to the foothills by 12noon (planning to come down using the cable car), so that I can catch a transport to Xian' Ok so here is my questions: 1. Is November , do you think climbing at night is advisable? Since is at night, do I still need to do my registrations and pay the fees or should I do it earlier? 2. Do we need a local guide, or a map is more than sufficient? 3. Any recommendation on the accomodation at the foothills? 4. Do you think the time that I have allocated for the entire circuits sufficient?? 5. Where is the best place to get a public transport to Xian? 6. Other tips / advice??
