Don't Get Crowded! Experience the Amazing Wangwu Mountain

Want to hike but hate crowds? Join me on a super cool off-the-beaten-path trip! Starting from the Lavande Hotel (Luoyang Railway Station Subway Station Branch), head to the hidden gem of Wangwu Mountain in Jiyuan, which will definitely give you an amazing experience! I always thought Yu Gong Moving Mountains was just a textbook story, but I didn't expect the real Wangwu Mountain to be so shocking! The scenery of Wangwu Mountain is breathtaking, but the climbing process is not easy! It is more than 1,700 meters above sea level. I am in good shape, but it took me about three hours to climb to the top, and in the end, I was so tired that I could only take the cable car down the mountain. Next, I will give you a super-detailed route guide: Depart from Luoyi Ancient City to Wangwu Mountain Scenic Area: You can choose to drive and enjoy the scenery along the way to the scenic area; if you don't want to drive, you can also check local public transportation or choose a convenient online car-hailing service to go to the scenic area. There are two routes for you to choose from after entering the scenic area: [1] Buy tickets at the entrance of the scenic area (it is also very convenient to buy online) → take a sightseeing bus into the mountain → enjoy the unique charm of the Millennium Ginkgo Tree and the Fountain of Youth → start your climbing journey from here, sweating all the way up → step on the Tantan Sacred Road → successfully climb to the top of Tantan → finally, decide whether to take the cable car down the mountain easily or hike down to experience a different kind of scenery depending on your physical strength. Warm reminder: This route is very challenging, but it allows you to fully appreciate the fun of climbing. The higher you go, the cooler and more pleasant it is, and you may even encounter lively and cute monkeys 🐒 [2] Buy tickets at the entrance of the scenic area (online booking is more worry-free) → take a sightseeing bus to start the journey → check in at the Millennium Ginkgo Tree and the Fountain of Youth → if you don't want to climb, take the cable car directly to the top of the mountain → come to the top of Tantan → then decide whether to hike down the mountain to enjoy the scenery, or continue to take the cable car back easily. Tips: This route takes the cable car up the mountain first, and hiking down the mountain is relatively less tiring, which is suitable for friends who are not in good physical condition. If you are traveling with the elderly and children, taking the cable car all the way is also a great choice. I chose the first route. Although the process was "sour and refreshing", the joy and sense of accomplishment at the moment of reaching the top were simply indescribable! I'll tell you quietly that the Millennium Ginkgo Tree is a great place to take pictures! Remember to bring water, tissues and other essential items before departure. If the weather is hot, wear short sleeves inside and take them off when you get hot. After all, climbing is a "physical battle"! Are you ready to depart from Lavande Hotel in Luoyang and start this unique climbing trip to Wangwu Mountain?
