Winter Must-Visit | Hidden Gem | Celestial Paradise Luoyang Laojun Mountain | Peach Blossoms in Snow in March

| Hidden Gem | Celestial Paradise Luoyang Laojun Mountain | Peach Blossoms in Snow in March. Discovered a hidden gem~ Few people and beautiful scenery! Never thought winter snowscapes could be this stunning~ ❄️ Especially gives off a 'Heavenly Palace' vibe! ❄️ Although the snowscape is spectacular, it's located in Luoyang, so it's not particularly cold, making it very suitable for short winter trips 📍Location: Henan Province, Luoyang City, Luanchuan County - Laojun Mountain Tourist Scenic Area ▫️It is said that Laozi, the founder of Taoism during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, once lived in seclusion and cultivated here, hence the name Laojun Mountain, which is the main peak of the Funiu Mountain range. ▫️At an altitude of over 2000 meters, there are official halls and temple clusters, and in ancient times, this place was regarded as a sacred Taoist site. ▫️The mountain has a unique 'slip-off peak forest' landform, with clouds and mist surrounding various peaks, which is very impressive. 🚘Recommended mode of travel: High-speed train to Luoyang - Rent a car to Luanchuan - East Gate of Laojun Mountain ⌚️Recommended travel time: 2-3 days 🏨Accommodation: There are hotels under the Zhongling Cableway in the scenic area, around 100 yuan/room (The conditions won't be very good, prepare travel supplies in advance) The photography-themed hotel on the mountain is not open in winter, there are hostel-like beds on the mountain top, about 100/bed, where you can watch the sunrise and sunset, suitable for photography enthusiasts~ 🌟If staying below the cableway, it is recommended to drive out of the scenic area for 15 minutes to Phoenix Sky Street for dinner in the evening, enjoy good food and drinks... no more sad instant noodles... 💃Travel Tips: 💜Cableway opening hours: 8:00-17:00 (Although the cableway closes at 17:00, the actual closing time depends on the flow of visitors on the mountain, and it can be around 18:00 when it closes, allowing you to see the sunset) 💜After taking the cableway, you can directly reach the Golden Palace (mountain top palace complex) in about 15 minutes, and if you want to tour the entire scenic area, it will take about 2-3 hours (around 2.5 kilometers) 💜Check the weather forecast in advance, if you can catch a clear day after snow, you're incredibly lucky~
