Trail up Mount Huashan is well known for its narrow plank roads near cliff edge, which constitute a considerably dangerous but challenging trail.

I recommend you to take cable car to North Peak, then walk on the edges to South Peak. 4 hours walking on the summit. Take cable car down the mountain from North Peak in the afternoon.
