Ca'er Cliff, famously known as 'Ear-Rubbing Cliff,' is a captivating landmark situated on the path toward the North Peak of Mount Hua. The site derives its name from a time when the mountain trail was so narrow that travelers' ears would literally brush against the rock face. Today, thanks to government renovations, the path is wider and safer for modern tourists, yet it still retains a sense of the ancient thrill of mountain climbing. Located just past a stone gate near the North Peak cable car station, the narrow rocky path provides an intimate encounter with the mountain's sheer granite walls and expansive views of the surrounding region.
