    "Considering that with a 5-year-old child and a mother who is afraid of heights, I chose the simplest route to the west and the west, I have to say that Huashan's cableway cable car is a must in the world. After turning over three mountains, there are two mountains that seem to be a roller coaster-like perspective. Although the patients who are afraid of heights are very scared, they are shocked by all the beauty in front of them. There are very few people in the off-season. The cable car is basically not lined up. A family of three directly packaged a cable car to take pictures and scream. The magic of nature is amazing, but the design and construction of the ropeway project is even more admirable!"
