You must come to Laojun Mountain! All four seasons are absolutely beautiful!

The shock of the fairyland in the clouds and the thousand-year-old spiritual energy of the Taoist holy land. This nanny-level guide for 2 days and 1 night in Laojun Mountain, which I have been to 3 times, will take you to unlock the ultimate experience of "a stunning banquet on a journey to the human world"! 🔥 📍Itinerary planning Day 1⃣️: Chasing the clouds and the sun, a preliminary exploration of the fairy mountain** ▪️ Morning: Go straight to the first-level cable car (Zhongling/Yunjing Cable Car), which takes 10 minutes to reach Zhongtianmen, saving time and effort! Good news for lazy people~ ▪️ Afternoon: Hike through the "Ten-Li Painted Screen", with strange peaks and rocks, and surging sea of ​​clouds. Every photo you take will be a blockbuster! 📸 Rush to the top of the Jinding Taoist Temple complex before dusk, and wait for a beautiful lighting ceremony at 17:40. The golden temple is full of light, as if the heavenly palace has descended! (The lighting time varies with the season, please confirm in advance) ▪️ Overnight stay on the top of the mountain: book in advance! There are only 20+ rooms on the top of the mountain, and the standard room is 900+ in peak season, but the sunrise, sunset and starry sky are worth the price! 🌄 Day 2⃣️: Exploring secret places and experiencing cultural baptism ▪️ Early morning: Watch the sunrise over the sea of ​​clouds at Yuhuangding and feel the philosophy of "the great way is simple". ▪️ Morning: Go down the mountain to visit Laozi Cultural Park, check in the giant Laozi statue and the "Tao Te Ching" stele, and feel the culture~ ▪️ Afternoon: Hike in Dream Valley, waterfalls, streams, primeval forests, and breathe oxygen to cleanse your lungs! If you are in a hurry, you can choose to slide down the mountain (20 yuan/person), which is exciting and labor-saving. 📸 Warning of the holy land of film production ✔️ Jinding Taoist Temple Group: Hanfu + cloak (rental at the top of the mountain for 30-50 yuan), with golden eaves and sea of ​​clouds, a fairy-like atmosphere! ✔️ Sheshen Cliff: With the sea of ​​clouds at the edge of the cliff as the background, the wide-angle lens creates a sense of "people in heaven"! ✔️ Ten-mile Painting Screen Plank Road: winding mountain road + strange peaks, walking and capturing dynamic photos is amazing~ ✔️ Secret cave: Laojun Cave has fantastic light and shadow of stalactites and a cyber-immortal style! 🍜Grab the must-eat list! ▪️ Mountain top instant noodles: 12 yuan including hot water. Who understands the joy of slurping noodles in the cold wind? ! ▪️ Taoist health feast: Tai Chi health soup, fairy grass jelly, wild game and wild game to give you a sense of "fasting" ritual ▪️ Luoyang Beef Soup: After going down the mountain, go straight to the first one on Longlin Road. The fried meatballs and soup are so delicious that you’ll stamp your feet! ⚠️Avoidance Guide 🚫Don't wear a skirt with high heels! There are stairs and mountain roads everywhere, so sneakers are a lifesaver! 🚫The temperature difference at the top of the mountain is huge! Even in summer, bring a down jacket and put hot packs all over it! 🚫Buy cable car tickets in advance! On-site queuing starts at 1 hour, official accounts/third-party platforms are more cost-effective 🚫Beware of wild guides! Find a guide through formal channels to avoid pitfalls and save worry 💡Hidden gameplay 1. Stay overnight at a Taoist temple: Listen to the bells in the morning and do morning prayers, and experience the Taoist-style pure and quiet life~ 2. Pray for blessings on the cliff: Hang a love lock on the cliff, it is said that Laozi will bless your marriage! 3. Check in for stamp collection: The Tao Te Ching Wall and Lao Tzu’s writing place, a cultural journey with a full sense of ritual! 4. Visit Xicang Market on Thursdays and Sundays: a treasure trove for old Luoyang people, where you can shop for handmade products and eat local snacks! 🏨Accommodation suggestions ✔️ Mountaintop Party: B&B near Jinding, where you can see the sea of ​​clouds as soon as you open the window (book 1 week in advance!) ✔️ Value for money party: Luanchuan County Hotel, 200+ star-rated hotels, 10 minutes by taxi to the scenic spot the next day~ ✔️ Experience: Camping in a tent in Dream Valley, with the stars as your blanket and the mountain breeze as your companion (reservation required) "The Way is Simple, and Mountains and Rivers Reveal the Heart" The beauty of Laojun Mountain is a glimpse of the rolling sea of ​​clouds. It is the splendor of the golden roof when it lights up It is also the quiet power of the thousand-year-old Taoist culture. It’s definitely worth visiting this fairyland on your must-visit list! ❤️ 👉Save this article, @your hiking partner, and start your 48-hour escape from the city plan now!
