The golden top of Laojun Mountain is really beautiful! Checklist for climbing Laojun Mountain❗ ❗ ➕Small tips 🌈1 The day trip bus can go directly to the ticket gate, and you can't get in without a ticket. 🌈2 Snacks: Mountain climbers will understand, haha, after all, you won't go down the mountain until night, so it's important to bring snacks. 🌈3 Don't bring your own instant noodles, you can buy them on the mountain for CNY 12, and they are already cooked. There is no hot water for sale on the mountain. 🌈4 Be sure to check the weather before you go. If it rains all day, don't go. 🌈5 Power bank: A must-have! If your phone runs out of power halfway up the mountain, you won't be able to take beautiful photos! 🌈6. Wishing cards are CNY 5 each at the foot of the mountain and CNY 20 each on the mountain. 🌈7. Laojun Mountain is not in Luoyang, it is in Luanchuan County, Luoyang, more than 160 kilometers away, and the round trip is more than 330 kilometers. ✏️Recommended route Take the first cable car, and the second cable car is optional! Laojun Mountain has two cable cars. The first cable car goes from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, and the second cable car goes from the mountainside to the Ten Mile Gallery! Taking a shortcut will miss the Ten Mile Gallery. If you just want to take photos on the top of the mountain, you can take a shortcut directly, which can save an hour. If you are not physically strong, don't take the stone steps at Zhongtianmen, take the wooden plank road on the right, the wooden plank road is gentler! Remember to buy a climbing stick, CNY 5 for two. If you bring the elderly and children and don't want to climb, you can take two cable cars + an elevator, so you don't have to walk much.

🚞 After getting off at Luoyang Station, there will be many people soliciting to take you to Mount Laojun. They usually quote fifty per person, but you can bargain. However, it is very important to ask clearly whether they take the expressway all the way and whether they depart immediately! 🚖 You can also choose the official bus, which is right next to the station at the Luoyang Huashen Bus Station, for 38 per person. Pay attention to the departure schedule!! 🈲🈲🈲🈲 At first, we didn't know there were so many pitfalls, so we bargained down to 35 to take a private bus, and the result was that we waited an hour or two for everyone to arrive... And the bus would stop to pick up people along the way... And because it didn't take the expressway, it was especially slow, turning a two and a half hour journey into four hours... 🏨 We stayed at a hotel at the foot of the mountain, and set off to climb the mountain the next morning. It was only a few hundred meters walk to the Mount Laojun ticket checkpoint. After entering the checkpoint, you need to take a sightseeing bus for 10 yuan, and after about six or seven kilometers, you will reach the cable car station. Friends who drive can go further to the parking lot next to the cable car. We arrived around eight or nine o'clock, and there were very few people in the cable car queue, so it was easy to get up haha. ⛰️ Mount Laojun has two sections of cable car. It is recommended to only buy the first section, or it is also ok to hike the whole way, because later, while I was enjoying the scenery on the cable car, I found that the mountain paths were not very difficult to climb. And after we got off the first section of the cable car, it only took us three to four hours to finish the climb. That is to say, Mount Laojun is not very long and the paths are easy to walk. At first, we thought the Ten Mile Gallery was really ten miles long, but as we walked, we finished the tour!! Then we went to the Golden Summit of Mount Laojun. There was a restaurant on the way, which really had instant noodles, twenty to thirty per bowl. It is recommended that everyone still bring some snacks. We each had a can of Eight-Treasure Porridge and some biscuits, and we were not very hungry from climbing. As for water, just bring one bottle, the prices on the mountain are not expensive, just two or three yuan more than usual. After climbing the Golden Summit, there are two high peaks next to it, you only need to climb one to enjoy the scenery. There is also the main peak of Mount Funiu, which seems to be the highest peak, and it is recommended to climb it. After that, you can return the same way. There are sometimes free performances next to the second-level cable car, and we didn't go to the glass bridge next to the first-level cable car, which is quite expensive at fifty yuan per person. Since we descended the mountain early, we didn't see Mount Laojun lit up at night, but according to netizens, it's just so-so haha, so we don't regret it. ❌❌❌ On the way down the mountain, there is a slide and an aerial zip line, don't go to either! We tried both and found that they were really not fun at all. The slide was crowded, and the zip line looked scary but had no sense of weightlessness or thrill, and after we finished, we found that a group of people walking were faster than us on the zip line... All in all, Mount Laojun is really easy to climb, especially for those who have climbed Mount Huangshan, climbing Mount Laojun is really a breeze!! 💰 The ticket for Mount Laojun is 100+ cable car 120+ round trip private car from Luoyang to Luanchuan 100+ one night hotel 150+ meals, averaging five to six hundred per person. Later, we also went to Luoyang Yingtianmen and Longmen Grottoes, and including the car fare, the average cost per person was one thousand.

Luoyang | Traveling to the human world for a stunning banquet, climbing high to overlook the peaks, seeing oneself|||⭐'Travel to the human world for a stunning banquet, and see the prosperous world' My impression of Laojun Mountain is stuck in the beautiful scenery of heavy snow and silver dressing. This summer trip to Luoyang, although I can't see the snow scene on the top of the mountain, climbing the mountain in midsummer also has another green beauty. / ⛰️Laojun Mountain is located in Luanchuan County, Luoyang City, the ancient capital of Central Plains. It is the main peak of Funiu Mountain, the extension of Qinling Mountains, with an altitude of 2297 meters. It is said that Laozi once practiced here, so it is named Laojun Mountain. It has been a Taoist holy land throughout the dynasties. The Taiching Temple on the top of the mountain was built during the Northern Wei Dynasty, with a long history, and the green mountains are still there. / 🔥Laojun Mountain has become popular in recent years, and many people come here for its reputation. Although the summer sun is like a flame, the mountain breeze is refreshing, and there is a bit of coolness under the shade of the trees. 🏕️Laojun Mountain scenic area is not big, the climbing route is very simple, the main attractions are concentrated in the top part, a loop can visit all, most suitable for a day trip from Luoyang. / 🚌It takes about 2 hours to get to Laojun Mountain from Luoyang City. There is no hiking trail from the foot of the mountain to the top. All tourists need to take the first-level cable car (Zhongling Cableway or Yunjing Cableway) to Zhongtianmen in the middle of the mountain, and then choose to hike up the mountain or continue to take the second-level cableway. 🚠It is recommended to choose to hike from Zhongtianmen to the top of the mountain. Although there is no unique scenery on the way of this about 1 hour journey, you will also feel the joy of climbing while moving forward. After sweating, the breeze is refreshing. / ✅The core attractions on the top of the mountain are the Ten Mile Painting Screen and the Golden Top Taoist Temple Group. No matter which direction you choose to visit, it is a big loop. The starting point is also the end point. The tour route is clear and simple, without brain power. ✅It is recommended to start hiking from the 'Ten Mile Painting' screen. After passing the cliff plank road and the cliff of ten thousand feet, you will reach the main peak of Funiu Mountain. Climbing to the highest point of Funiu Peak, overlooking the rolling peaks, the green mountains are continuous, and the feeling of looking at all the small mountains is directly saying that the scenery is unique. ✅Coming down from Funiu Mountain, you will soon reach the iconic attraction of the top of the mountain, the 'Golden Top Taoist Temple Group'. ➡️Laojun Mountain Golden Top Sky Palace Theater, you can rest in the hall, dine in the restaurant, or watch a wonderful stage play. ➡️Laojun Temple, the Moral Mansion is the two halls of the north and the south, enshrining the statue of Laozi, the statue of Taishang Laojun, and everyone once again offers incense, prays for blessings and wishes. ➡️The three golden halls are respectively Jade Emperor Top (worshiping Jade Emperor), Liangbao Platform (worshiping God of Wealth), and Wumu Golden Hall (worshiping the Five Mothers of Heaven and Earth). The Jade Emperor's Top and Liangbao Platform are opposite and towering, the terrain is high, only one person can go up and down, the road section is not far, but the slope is steep and it takes a lot of physical effort. The Golden Hall is lower in terrain and can be reached by passing through the Moral Mansion. The three peaks stand together, each occupying one side. The three palaces are golden and solemn, like three mountain guards, marveling at the shock and magic of the building built in this desperate situation. / 🌿After visiting the Golden Top Taoist Temple Group, the tour on the top of the mountain is over. You can choose to take the slide and the second-level cable car to Zhongtianmen when you go down the mountain, and then change to the first-level cable car to the foot of the mountain. 🕒1 day round trip to Luoyang, time is completely enough, no need to worry about rushing and not enough attractions to see.

A day of walking till legs break 🥲 Signed up online for a one-day tour of Luoyang Laojun Mountain, gathered at the meeting point at 9:10, and arrived at Laojun Mountain about 2 and a half hours by car. We took the first-level cable car Yunjing Cableway up, started climbing from Zhongtianmen, and climbed for nearly 4 hours to reach the Golden Summit, which included time for taking photos📸+playing on the glass cableway+resting. The glass plank road to the platform of SheShen Cliff for taking photos is very picturesque, and there are not many people, this is the key point haha🤣 The 580 steps before the Ten-Mile Gallery are the most physically demanding, climbing until legs break. There is a direct elevator from the Ten-Mile Gallery to the Golden Summit, 40 yuan/person. After climbing these hundreds of steps, most of the rest is flat. People who can't climb the mountain⛰️ can take the second-level cableway directly to the Golden Summit. We didn't see the sea of clouds☁️ that day, it's a bit of a pity~ There are really a lot of people traveling during the New Year's holiday, we climbed to the Golden Summit and couldn't squeeze into the Golden Summit, because everyone was waiting for the lights to turn on, most people were squeezed at the platform of the Taoist Mansion. The lights turned on at 5:20, maybe it wasn't completely dark yet, personally, I didn't find it very amazing. Either wait until it's dark, the lights are more obvious before returning, but can't catch the time to leave for the one-day tour. It is recommended to wait for the lights at the platform leading to the exit and the Peak Forest Cableway, because after the lights are on, there are really too many people leaving, all rushing to leave at 7:40 in the evening. Otherwise, it's hard to squeeze into the return channel. We left to line up for the Peak Forest Cableway and the first-level cableway and waited for nearly 2 hours to get down the mountain, there were too many people!!! If you take the first-level cableway Yunjing Cableway, you also need to take the Yunjing Cableway when you leave, the same goes for the Zhongtian Cableway. I sincerely do not recommend coming to Laojun Mountain during public holidays, too many people, the experience is very poor, there are also many people descending when climbing up, it's just a jam...

Most parts of Henan have snowed, and Mount Laojun has really snowed! Although the snow scene is beautiful, you should also pay attention to keeping warm.
