Is there any difference between the Huashan Cableway going west and north or north and west?

1. The degree of energy saving varies.

You still need to walk for a while to take the ropeway. The relatively energy-saving direction of the ropeway is west up and north down. The peaks in the west are more than 2,000 meters above sea level, and the peaks in the north are more than 1,600 meters above sea level. The difference between the two is nearly 400 meters. Going west to the north means going downhill, while going north to the west means going uphill.

2. The lifting sequence of the ropeway is different.

Choose the direction from west to north, and the cableway operation height will run from high to low and gradually decrease. If you choose to go north and west, the operating height of the cableway will run from low to high, gradually rising.

3. The order of tours is different.

Choose the cableway route that goes from west to north. The order of sightseeing spots is West Peak, South Peak, East Peak, Middle Peak, and North Peak. Choose the cableway route that goes north and west, and the order of sightseeing spots is Beifeng, Jinsuoguan, Xiangzuo East Peak, South Peak, and West Peak.
