Hiking at Laojun Mountain to see the vast sea of clouds

Hidden in the 800-li Funiu Mountain Range is the Taoist sacred site of Laojun Mountain, the cultivation place of the Supreme Lord Lao! 🏔️ 👉Transportation Guide: Laojun Mountain Scenic Area is located in Luanchuan County, Luoyang City, Henan Province 🚗 Self-driving: Navigate to the Laojun Mountain Scenic Area parking lot 🚌 Public transport: Take the high-speed train to Luoyang Longmen Station, then transfer to the direct shuttle bus to the scenic area 🌟Two ways to explore: 1️⃣ For hiking enthusiasts: Take the first-level cable car up → start the Ten-Mile Painted Screen hiking route (about 2.5 hours) ✨ Along the way, strange peaks and rocks make you feel like walking inside a painting 📸 The cliff plank road is super photogenic; every shot looks like a masterpiece 2️⃣ Convenient route for the lazy: First-level cable car + second-level cable car directly to the Golden Summit Taoist temple group 30 minutes to easily reach the top and overlook the vast sea of clouds ☁️ 🏮Three must-visit attractions: 1. The fairyland sea of clouds: Best in winter, looks like a place where immortals live 2. Golden Summit Taoist temple group: A Taoist holy site with over 2,000 years of history 3. Night light show: Stunning when night falls! 💡Tips for your visit: ✅ Best viewing time: Winter from 6:00 to 8:00 AM (highest chance to see the sea of clouds) ✅ Traditional costumes are a perfect match! Put on Hanfu and instantly become a fairy sister ✅ Scenic area ticket: 100 RMB per person (includes shuttle bus inside the scenic area) ✅ Cable car fees: First-level cableway 130 RMB, second-level cableway 80 RMB 👇My travel experience: Be sure to get there early! Witnessing the sea of clouds rolling in with my own eyes was truly moving and brought me to tears 😭 The cliff plank road of the Ten-Mile Painted Screen is amazing, but those afraid of heights should prepare mentally The fortune-telling spot at the Golden Summit is very effective, remember to draw a fortune slip~
