Mount Laojun is really easy to climb! Even a lazy person like me managed to conquer it with ease! Welcome everyone to check in

🚞 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.
