Plank on the south peak

Huayin's sacred mountain rises to 2154.9 metres at the south peak, where official text names the Changkong plank walk among cliff-hung sights.

Highest at twenty-one fifty-four

Provincial tourism reprints place Huashan in Huayin City under Weinan and call it one of the Five Sacred Mountains. The same page uses the phrase "most perilous under heaven" as its own description of the mountain's reputation. Among the five peaks, the south peak is highest at 2154.9 metres—a number the official text gives explicitly rather than as folklore.

Changkong on the cliff

The article lists hundreds of named sights around the peaks and singles out the Changkong plank route as a cliff-hung walk among them. It presents the route as part of Huashan's advertised peril rather than as a separate sport. Readers meet the mountain through that vocabulary of peaks, official superlative phrasing and engineered paths on the granite face.
