I plan to explore all of them in near future. I am not sure if they are all sacred, but Mt.Huashan really is.

So you must have been to Mt. Hua, right? Mt. Song is composed of Taishi mountain and Shaoshi Mountain. I've been to Shaolin Temple in Henan, which is built on Shaoshi Mountain. Could I say I have been to Mt. Song?

EMERALD7,

My friend climbed the Mt. Hua. He started climbing at night and reached the peak in the early morning. He made it to see the sunrise. When he reached the peak, he realized how dangerous the Mt. Hua. At night, he just focused on climbing and couldn't see the steep mountain.

Your friend made it and saw the sunrise ignoring the dangers ahead due to the darkness. What a wonderful life! We ordinary people normally end up with where we start seeing the sunset. If there's two options put in front of me, I would go with the latter probably. however, they are not comparable. It relys on how you look at it, utilize it and how the things you experienced and people you met affect you. LIfe is wonderful and mysterious...

GUEST58 Raindrop, It is true. As I know, most people choose to climb Mt.Hua at night and take cable car down the next day. It is also the recommended itinerary. My little sister did the same last year. How brave she was, but she had to stay in bed for few days due to the muscle injury.

She must be lack of doing exercises. Seriously, Mt. Hua is very steep. It is exhausted if you conquer Mt. Hua.

Glenevens,

Only do you come to Mt. Hua, you will feel how dangerous it is. I saw the photos taken by my friend and then trembled because I am afraid of height. I am not sure if I am brave enough to climb the Mt. Hua. Maybe, I will use the cable car to finish my trip.

Remaining six? I just mentioned five sacred mountains here. I guess you add two other mountains on your wish list.
