Henan Luoyang Mount Laojun Travel Guide 1️⃣ Should I drive myself or join a tour group? Remember to join a tour group! Local one-day tours are the most cost-effective! Discounted group tickets + shuttle bus + tour guide explanation😆 Can drop you off at the cable car station~ 2️⃣ What equipment should I prepare? Coat🧥+ Hat🎩+ Gloves🧤+ ID card🪪+ Power bank + Sunglasses🕶️+ Water💦+ A small amount of snacks🥘+ Hiking stick🦯+ Wishing plaque (or wishing lock)🔒+ Pen🖊️+ Selfie stick🤳 🧥 Wear a coat: The altitude of Mount Laojun is high, and there is a temperature difference between the top and the bottom of the mountain, with strong winds, so be sure to bring warm clothes~ 🧤 Gloves🎩 Hat: When climbing to the Golden Summit, the iron chains are very cold to touch! The wind is strong, and not wearing a hat will freeze your head🤣 🧧 Wishing plaque: 5 yuan at the foot of the mountain, 20 yuan at the top! But no matter where you buy it, remember to get a pen🖊️ Couples can buy a lock🔒 in advance 🥘 Food: Don't bring instant noodles, there's no hot water on the mountain, instant noodles cost 12 yuan including hot water on the mountain. (It's best to eat well before going up the mountain, bring simple snacks and water💦 for an easier climb) 🦯 Hiking stick: It's quite useful! If the path is slippery, buy ice grips! Wear comfortable shoes👟 🕶️ Sunglasses + Selfie stick🤳: Of course, it's for looking good, I see many people renting Hanfu, it doesn't hinder walking~ 3️⃣ Do I need to take all the cable cars? 👺 First-level cable car (Cloud Scenery Cable Car) is a must! (Climbing on your own takes at least 5h, and there's not much scenery) Price: Round trip 130 yuan (up 70, down 65) 👺 Second-level cable car (Peak Forest Cable Car) is optional! (Strongly recommended to take it! Because even if you take the second-level cable car, you still have to climb for a long time🧗 If you don't take it, you might not have enough energy🤣) Price: Round trip 80 yuan (up 45, down 40) 👺 Elevator: If you don't want to walk or have low stamina, you can take the elevator to the Golden Temple! (I took it) Elevator one-way up 40 yuan/person (if there's no internet for payment, the scenic area can provide wifi) 👺 Slide: I didn't get to ride it, it wasn't open when I visited! Saves time going down the mountain~ 4️⃣ How to walk if not taking the second-level cable car? If you don't take the second-level cable car, there are two paths from Zhongtianmen to the Golden Summit: one is the stone stairs directly opposite Zhongtianmen, which are quite steep! The other is to take the wooden plank path next to it (the wooden plank path is the first choice, with fewer steps and less tiring) 5️⃣ Where are the photo check-in spots? 🌄 Mane Ridge, Liangbaotai, West Corridor, Morality Mansion, Viewing Platform, etc., these places are the best spots to watch the sunrise!🤳 Ten-mile Gallery, Golden Temple, the main peak of Funiu Mountain can capture a panoramic view of the Golden Summit Taoist temples! Take photos wherever it looks good, just make sure to clear your phone's memory~ 6️⃣ Time management? 👺 Golden Summit lighting time: 17:40-18:10 (The scenic area will adjust the lighting time according to the season and sunset time) 👺 Cable car up the mountain time: 7:00-16:00 (After 4 pm, you can't take the cable car up the mountain) 👺 Last cable car down the mountain time: 19:00 (It's recommended to go down the mountain early to avoid the peak queue time) 7️⃣ Check the weather and plan well! Mount Laojun will punish everyone who doesn't plan😂 "You should climb Mount Laojun at least once, with over three thousand steps and an altitude of 2,202 meters.
