First of all, the ticketing hall of the tourist center and Yuquan Garden are not the same place. Yuquan Garden is the only place for hiking on the ancient western route of "One Road from Ancient Huashan", and the tourist center is the way to take the cableway on the eastern route of Huashan Mountain.

If you want to see the sunrise, it is definitely better to climb mountains at night, and there are many people climbing mountains at night. Last time I entered the mountain from Yuquanyuan at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, I climbed to Dongfeng at almost 12 o'clock. I can find a place to rest and watch the sunrise at 4 o'clock.

where to go first depends on your physical strength. If you don't climb Huashan by cableway, you will basically have no physical strength the next day (your legs are no longer working), and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses will take more roads.
