Laojun Mountain is great, I won't go again! Avoid it!
Just came down from Laojun Mountain❗❗This guide is awesome❗Must see❗Take advice❗Just came back from climbing Laojun Mountain⚠Avoid it⚠
Travel Tips:
⚠Tickets must be reserved in advance, reserve in advance❗Laojun Mountain is a real-name reservation, and does not accept tourists who do not make a reservation.
🚗Self-driving: You must navigate to Yunjing/Zhongling Cableway, drive the car directly in, don't stop at the door, if you stop at the door, you need to take a scenic bus back and forth 40💰
🚄High-speed rail: After exiting Luoyang Station, go to Luoyang Longmen Passenger Transport Station, take the high-speed bus ticket to Luanchuan, note that this car may need to wait, a car full of people will depart.
🇻🇳Group tour: This is more convenient, you can get on the bus directly at Luoyang Station/Longmen High-speed Railway Station, and go directly to Laojun Mountain First Cableway Entrance by high-speed, you can go up the mountain as soon as you get off the bus. The group includes (tickets➕round-trip car fare➕guide➕insurance)➕round-trip first cableway. This is more worry-free and convenient.
In summary: I personally think that self-driving🚗 and group tours are more convenient, other modes of travel require more transfers.
Laojun Mountain Cableway Explanation:
🌞The first cableway must be taken, this journey is very long, there is no scenery on the road, it takes about 5h to climb up, unless you are a mountain climbing enthusiast, otherwise you must take it.
🌞Second cableway problem: There is no need to take it up, the difficulty is small, it takes about 1.5h to climb up, passing through the Ten Mile Picture Screen, the Ten Mile Picture Screen is really beautiful, climbing the mountain while watching the scenery.
✅It is recommended to buy a second cableway when going down the mountain: After watching the lights, take the cableway down the mountain all the way, it's simply too cool.

1⃣It's really cold on the mountain, you must wear thick clothes, Laojun Mountain has a high altitude and a large temperature difference.

3⃣Must-have items for going up the mountain: gloves🧤scarf, mask, down jacket, you must keep warm, Laojun Mountain has a high altitude and a large temperature difference.
4⃣Don't buy a wish card directly at the foot of the mountain, it's really cheap to buy it on the top of the mountain, remember to bring a pen🖊.
5⃣Don't bring your own instant noodles up the mountain, the hot water on the mountain costs money💰, it's better to go lightly and buy ready-made ones on the mountain for 12💰
6⃣You must bring a power bank, the power of a mobile phone is not enough.
7⃣Eat a full meal before going up the mountain, bring a few bottles of water and energy-replenishing food (bread, Snickers, chocolate) There are food and drinks for sale on the way up the mountain, the prices are normal and acceptable.
8⃣Be sure to go to the toilet in advance, especially girls, there is no water on the mountain, and the hygiene is relatively poor.
