Mount Lao in Qingdao is truly a fairy mountain above the sea

Mount Lao Scenic Area is divided into seven touring regions, with the southern route covering four areas, which are the secluded paths of Jiu Shui, the wonderful fun of Yangkou, the profound heritage of Taiqing, and the majestic momentum of Jufeng. On this day, the 530th, let us ascend Jufeng, meet the romantic mountains and seas at the highest point of the Chinese mainland coastline, and make an eternal vow! Jufeng is the main peak of Mount Lao, also known as Laoding, with an altitude of 1132.7 meters. Yan Mo of the Eastern Jin Dynasty once said in 'Qi Ji': 'Mount Tai claims to be high, but it is not as good as Mount Lao of the Eastern Sea.' After taking the cable car over the mountains, you can stroll leisurely up the mountain. Standing on the summit of Jufeng, overlooking the continuous mountains and the vast sea, you will feel the realm of 'one mountain dominates the sea, all things return to the heart,' which is truly delightful. Jufeng Summit Route: - Mount Lao Tourist Service Center → Tiandi Chunhe Square → Take the Jufeng Cable Car up the mountain → Natural Monument → Limen → 'The First Famous Mountain Above the Sea' Viewing Platform → Xunmen → Lingqi Peak (Xiantian Bridge, Zhaixing Pavilion) Jufeng Challenge Route: Starting from 'The First Famous Mountain Above the Sea' Viewing Platform, enter the boundary of the Jufeng Bagua Gates tour. Proceed clockwise along the mid-mountain road, passing through Kunmen, Duimen, Qianmen, Kanmen, Genmen, Zhenmen, Xunmen, and then back to Limen. Enjoy the scenic spots along the way, which takes about three to four hours. You can also continue along the stone steps up the mountain, directly to Xunmen, and then tour the Bagua Gates and various scenic spots in a counterclockwise direction. Recommended Check-in Spots: 1. 'The First Famous Mountain Above the Sea' Stone Carving: This was inscribed by the calligrapher Mr. Wu Zhongqi at the age of 95 for Mount Lao. 2. Xiantian Bridge: Standing on the bridge, with the unfathomable cliffs beneath your feet, the effect is extremely shocking when photographed with a telephoto lens! 3. Zhaixing Pavilion: An excellent spot for watching the sunrise, sea of clouds, and sunset, facing the sea and the layered mountains. TIPS: 1.
