華山位于華陰市，據西安120公里。華山是秦嶺的一部分，秦嶺不僅分割陜南與陜北，也分隔華南與華北。與從前人們常去朝拜的泰山不同，華山過去很少有人光臨，因為上山的道路極其危險。然而，希望長壽的人卻經常上山，因為山上生長著許多草藥，特別是一些稀有的藥草。自上世紀90年代安裝纜車以來，參觀人數大大增加。

【參考答案】

Mount Hua is located in Huayin City(Shaanxi,China),120 kilometers away from Xi'an.It is part of the Qin Mountains,which divide not only northern and southern Shaanxi,but also south and north China.Unlike Mount Tai that used to be frequented by pilgrims,Mount Hua was not well visited by pilgrims as the roads up the mountain were extremely dangerous.Back then,however,those who wished to enjoy longevity ventured in Mount Hua quite a lot because numerous herbs,rare ones in particular,grew in the mountain.Since cable cars were installed in Mount Hua in the 1990s,the number of visitors has increased dramatically.
