Luoyang locals are on their knees pushing for Laojun Mountain! This immortal mountain hides the most explosive prosperous beauty in Central China!

As a native of Luoyang, I can't believe this is my first time at Laojun Mountain! The moment I stood on the Golden Summit, I felt my soul leave my body—now I truly understand what it means to "travel far to a dazzling feast on earth, to witness the world's most splendid beauty"! This is not just hiking; this is a pilgrimage! 🏔️ 💥 Stunning warning: breathtaking beauty throughout, your phone storage will be in serious danger! If you think Laojun Mountain is just a mountain, you are completely wrong. It is a three-dimensional fairyland, a walking landscape painting! Especially after the rain clears, with seas of clouds rolling and palaces floating in the clouds, the shock is something that words and pictures can only express one ten-thousandth of. 🚨 Blood and tears experience, listen to me to win big: 1. Traffic hack: Don’t miss Luhun Reservoir (Luoyang’s Little Erhai) along the way if you’re driving! If not driving, cling to the tourist bus—it’s cost-effective and effortless, taking you straight to the gates of the fairyland. 2. Cable car power: I bought tickets for both first and second-level cable cars! Save your energy for climbing and reserve it for the 2.5-hour “Thousand-Mile Scroll” hike afterward. That’s the essence, with a new scene at every step, and you won’t stop snapping photos. 3. Magical moment strike: You must wait for the lighting moment! At sunset, as the light dims, suddenly “pop,” the golden palaces light up one by one, like the heavenly palace descending. At that moment, the whole crowd cheers, and you’ll feel every effort was worth the ticket price! (Lighting is around 6:30-7:00 PM, cable cars close at 7:30 PM, plan your time well!) 🧗 Hardcore survival guide: · Temperature drops sharply at the summit, fierce winds blow! A windbreaker is your life-saving charm, don’t be stubborn! · Don’t carry a bunch of food! The Golden Summit has KFC, Luckin Coffee, and Bawang Tea, hot drinks to warm your stomach, truly touching. · Photo magic: Bring a bottle of beer or a traditional Chinese-style drink, toast with the Golden Summit, and the atmosphere instantly becomes legendary. ❌ Important pitfall to avoid: The annual tourist pass doesn’t work! You need to buy a separate ticket. But trust me, this ticket will be the best money you spend this year! This is not a simple mountain climb; it’s a top-tier feast for the eyes and soul. The beauty of Laojun Mountain carries an undeniable, majestic conquering power. I, a Luoyang local, have been completely conquered and plan to visit again and again! Check the weather forecast, pick a sunny day, and set off immediately. You absolutely cannot miss this dazzling feast on earth!
