Views at Mt Hua were breathtaking and amazing. Stefanie was a great host and put in much effort to make our group of seniors and young adults enjoy our experience fully. Everything went as planned from the time she picked us up till we were back to our hotel. All of us had a great time, be it a slow leisurely walk or an exhilarating trek up the peaks of mount hua.
