Luofu Mountain Travel Notes: A perfect combination of hiking and photography.

[Introduction]: Luofu Mountain is a national scenic area and a national 5A tourist attraction. It is located in the south-central part of Lingnan, on the shore of Daya Bay in the South China Sea, and adjacent to West Lake in Huizhou. Luofu Mountain is majestic, with evergreen vegetation, a simple and elegant style, and unique fairy caves and wonders, attracting countless tourists. 🕘 [Opening hours]: 7:00–18:00 💴 [Ticket price]: Adult ticket: CNY 54 per person ⛺ [Activities]: The main activity here is hiking, but it is best to check the weather in Huizhou before setting off. It is recommended to choose a sunny day to visit, because when you climb to the 743-meter-high Luofu Mountain, you can see the blue sky, white clouds, and buildings in the distance as small as ants. This is also the best time to take photos, and you can take great photos with just a click. If you go to Luofu Mountain, it is best to prepare the day before and start climbing immediately after the park opens the next day. It takes about 5 hours to reach an altitude of 743 meters. If you want to climb to the highest peak of Luofu Mountain, according to tourists who have descended the mountain, it took them about 7 hours. There is a cable car at the foot of the mountain that can take you halfway up the mountain. We bought tickets and a round-trip cable car ticket in advance, but unfortunately, when we arrived, the staff told us that the cable car was suspended due to strong winds. However, when we went down the mountain in the afternoon, the cable car was available. Note that the cable car requires a separate ticket and is not included in the admission ticket. The cable car cannot reach the top of the mountain, only halfway up the mountain. 🚌 [Transportation guide]: Self-driving tourists can navigate to "Luofu Mountain." The parking lot is very large, with plenty of parking spaces, and the parking fee is not expensive. We parked for 8 hours and paid CNY 20. 👉 [Itinerary]: There are many restaurants and accommodations near the scenic area. If you arrive the day before and plan to climb the mountain the next day, it is very convenient to eat and stay. In addition, there are many specialty shops at the entrance of the scenic area. 🧡 [Preparation]: It is recommended to bring more dry food and water. If you don't want to bring them, there are shops along the way, but it is best to prepare some, because the shops along the way are not dense, and you may not be able to buy food immediately when you need to replenish your energy. Also bring a slightly thicker piece of clothing, as the temperature at the foot of the mountain and the top of the mountain will be different. After reaching an altitude of 743 meters, the wind on the mountain is strong, and the cold wind may make women feel cold.
