Top Things to Do in Xi'an in October

October is the best month to see the autumn colors in the forests around Xi'an. If you are in the mood for some natural scenery and hiking, we can suggest two scenic sites around Xi'an and help you plan your tour.

Huashan MountainXi'an Huashan Mountain

See Huashan Mountain

And climb up these precipitous peaks on well-worm mountain paths and see the beautiful fall scenery around you. The walk up is strenuous, but the mountains are a favorite local hiking area for the people of Xi'an.

Hua Mountain is 120 kilometers east of Xi'an or about three hours from the city center. There are five peaks. The highest are Sunrise Peak (East Peak, 2,100 meters, 6,890 feet) and Landing Wild Goose Peak (South Peak, 2,160 meters, 7,000 feet).

Go up to the Cuihua Mountain National Park

The scenic spot is a lot closer than Huashan. It is only 20 kilometers (12 miles) from downtown Xi'an. You can see the trees in the fall while strolling along under the granite cliffs for a nice autumn hike. The national park is somewhat reminiscent of Yosemite, but it is smaller.

There is also a cable car to ride to see the site. The national park covers an area of 32 square kilometers (12 square miles). The highest peak is 2,600 meters tall (8,540 feet). It is a national geopark and is rated a Grade AAAA scenic spot in China.
