Laojun Mountain Scenic Area

introduce

According to legend, Laojun Mountain Scenic Area is the place where Li Er (Lao Tzu), the ancestor of Taoism, retreated and practiced. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, a temple was built in the mountain to commemorate it. There are lush trees in the mountains, picturesque scenery, and mountain springs can be seen everywhere. In the golden autumn, this is the best choice for enjoying the red leaves in the surrounding areas. After the rain, Laojun Mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland in the sky.

The scenic area is huge, mainly divided into the main scenic spot of Laojun Mountain in the middle, the scenic spot of Chasing Dream Valley in the west and the Zhaigou scenic spot in the east. Generally, tourists will spend one day visiting the main scenic spot of Laojun Mountain, which is also a well-developed area of the entire scenic spot. If you go to the top of the mountain, you still have the opportunity to watch the beautiful sea of clouds, sunrise and sunset.

The main scenic area of Laojun Mountain includes Zhongtianmen, Jinding, Laojun Temple, Nantianmen, Yuhuangding and Mazong Ridge. Laojun Temple has been the center of worship for pilgrims in the Central Plains since it was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty; the Jade Emperor is enshrined in the Taoist temple at Yuhuangding, which is also a good place to view the scenery in the mountains; Jinding and Mazongling are good places to watch the sunrise and the sea of clouds .

Recommended itinerary:
day trip
It is the choice of most tourists to visit the main scenic spot of Laojun Mountain in one day. Approximate line:
Lingguan Hall - Laojun Statue at the foot of the mountain - Drenching Vinegar Hall - Zhongtian Gate - Tree-lined Trail - Lying Yunsong - Bodhisattva Hall - Laojun Temple, Jinding - Yuhuangding, and then return the same way.
Tourists can choose to visit Laojun Mountain by walking or "walking + cableway" according to their own conditions. Between the Lingguan Temple at the foot of the mountain and the Zhongtian Gate on the mountainside, there is the Zhongling Cableway in the scenic spot. Take the Zhongling Cableway, and then walk from Zhongtianmen to Yuhuangding on the top of the mountain. The road from Zhongtianmen to the top of the mountain is not very steep, and it can usually be completed in about an hour.

Two day tour
If you have enough time, you can visit Laojun Mountain in two days. The general route:
D1: Tour the main scenic spot of Laojun Mountain, and stay in the mountain that night.
D2: From the top of Laojun Mountain, choose Dream Valley in the west or Zhaigou Scenic Spot in the east to go down the mountain, and reach the west gate and east gate of the scenic spot respectively.
In the main scenic spot of Laojun Mountain, you can stay near the Zhongtian Gate on the mountainside and the Laojun Temple on the top of the mountain. There are hotels near the Zhongtian Gate, and the accommodation conditions are relatively good, while the accommodation conditions around the Laojun Temple are relatively poor. If you are planning to go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise the next morning, then you can stay around Laojun Temple.
Compared with the Zhaigou scenic spot in the east, Chasing Dream Valley has a gentler road in the mountains. Tourists can choose one of them to go down the mountain according to their own preferences.

There are many places in the entire scenic area that can provide catering services for tourists, but the signs of some road sections in the scenic area are not perfect at present, and tourists need to pay more attention when visiting.

Medicine: You can buy Voltaren for preparation, it can be used even if the knees and soles of the feet hurt Wear: I went in August, the top of the mountain is quite cool. The altitude of the top of the mountain is 2200m, and the altitude of the foot of the mountain is 850m. The temperature difference is about 8 degrees. Just a t-shirt is fine, and you won't feel cold at eight or nine in the evening. You can buy a fan and bring a tissue, you will still sweat after walking for a long time Eat: Although there are two sections of cableway, if you want to go to Jinding, you still have to walk some steps and take a long section of the uphill road (flat road, not too much energy) if you want to go to the Jinding and walk the Shilihuaping section. It is not recommended to eat too much. It is not recommended to drink more water if you are too full, and it is not recommended to go up a lot of steps on the ladder in one breath. Sore legs are a trivial matter, and it is easy to spit out what you eat (don’t ask me how I know) Accommodation: After the first section of the cableway, there is a square, and there is a homestay in the square, starting at 1k/night, and there are also 2-3k, RMB players can consider it, it is recommended to book in advance, although it is expensive, I think the x journey is still full . When I arrived at Jinding, I saw that there was a youth hostel that could provide accommodation. My friend called to ask and said that it was full. Those who are interested can call ahead to make an appointment, like 200/person? There are quite a lot of homestays under the mountain and next to it, so I don't recommend it. Rest and shopping: A lot of toilets and seats have been repaired, so you can take a rest when you are tired from walking. There are also small shops selling water (without ice), sausages, drinks, and snacks. There are 6 yuan and 8 yuan for roast sausage, a bottle of screaming 12, and a bottle of red bull 16 (can't remember this). The one I encountered also had boiled corn, boiled eggs and meat clips. At the bottom of the mountain, there are bamboo sticks that are used as trekking poles. We bought them for 3 yuan per stick, which is a bit useful. Weather: It is recommended to be optimistic about the weather forecast before coming back. We ran into a cloudy day with fog, and the photo of the Golden Summit was hazy, even after the lights were turned on at eight o'clock. It is not recommended to come up on a cloudy day. Aerial photography is possible, and I see several drones flying. Cable Road: This is really speechless. It is written on the x pig that no uplink tourists will be accepted at 15.30, and then the scenic spot will be called, and it will be said that it will not be accepted at 16.00. When I got to the place, I asked the cableway staff, and said it was before eight o'clock at the latest. We arrived at Jinding at 7:30, and waited for half an hour for Jinding to turn on the lights to take pictures. It took 20 minutes to take pictures. It was about 20.30 when I started going down the mountain. When I reached the entrance of the second-level cableway, there were quite a lot of people queuing up. The first-level cableway is much better. Cableway tickets can be bought on Laojunshan No. xx. slightly faster Travel: There is still a long way to the entrance of the cableway, and it is convenient to drive by yourself. There are no shared bicycles here, nor bicycles Glass Skybridge: We wanted to go, but on the way, we heard people complain that 20 meters and 50 yuan was not worth it, so we gave up. Slide: It's okay, you can sit down from the glass sky bridge, 20/person, if you sit, it is recommended to take off your shoes to slide down smoothly. The bamboo pole can be sent down by the staff through a cable, and you can get it after a while (it is not allowed to take this on the slide). The staff are dedicated and have a good attitude Suggestion: It is said that it is a ten-mile painting screen, but in fact there is nothing to check in. I think it is not worth going. For lazy people like us, take the first- and second-level cableway up, and then walk a little bit, you will arrive at the Golden Summit, and you can leave after taking pictures

There is no fog when going up the mountain late, and it is better to have a fairyland surrounded by fog. I have made two ropeways. Some of the ring roads can be enjoyed to the most beautiful scenery of the sea of clouds and mountains, and there are also shortcuts to the Golden Summit. It is recommended to go for the first time. The scenery of Shili Gallery on Huanshan Road is really beautiful! Take the children to do two ropeways to save energy. There is no charge for the cable car for children less than 1.4 meters. It is very friendly. Tickets are free for children. Friends with teacher qualification certificates are half-price. It is still very good to climb to the top to see the Golden Summit. It's very cold and everyone eats instant noodles on the top of the mountain, which has a special taste. Laojun Mountain is worth looking forward to.

Laojun Mountain should be said to be the most worthwhile mountain in the north. In addition to the unique and shocking scenery, the blessing of the Taoist holy land, the management of the scenic spot is also good, and you are allowed to camp overnight on the top of the mountain with your own tent, which is very humane. The snow scene in winter is more beautiful, it is worth going again

Laojun Mountain is free of tickets for people all over the country this month. It’s great, but there are too many tourists. It happened to encounter a heavy snowfall. Laojun Mountain is already a white world. The scenery of Laojun Mountain is very good, especially the scenery on the top of the mountain. Beautiful, well worth coming here to play.

This group of photos reflects the most important cultural landscape of Laojun Mountain, the Laojun Temple and the Golden Palace, which are the soul of Laojun Mountain. This is a building composed of a group of Taoist buildings. Coupled with the monuments of Emperor Wanli and Emperor Kangxi in front of the hall, it looks more solemn, elegant and generous.

The author saw Laojun Mountain in Luoyang, Henan Province from an advertisement on CCTV, and was attracted by the golden palace on the top of the mountain. Last week, I realized my wish and went to Laojun Mountain. Attracted by its natural landscape and cultural landscape. Well worth going again.
