Mount Laojun is really easy to climb! Even a lazy person like me managed it with ease!||

||. 🚞After getting off at Luoyang Station, you'll find many people offering to take you to Mount Laojun. They usually charge fifty per person, but you can bargain. However, make sure to ask if they take the expressway all the way and if they depart immediately! These two points are very important! 🚖You can also choose the official bus, which is right next to the station at Luoyang Huashen Bus Station, for 38 per person. Pay attention to the departure schedule!! 🈲🈲🈲🈲We didn't know about these pitfalls at first, so we bargained down to 35 and took a private bus, only to end up waiting an hour or two for everyone to arrive... And the bus would stop to pick up more passengers along the way... And because it didn't take the expressway, it was especially slow, turning what should have been a two and a half hour trip 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, you need to take a 10 yuan sightseeing bus, which takes you about six or seven kilometers to 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 was hardly any queue for the cable car, so we got up easily, haha. ⛰️Mount Laojun has two cable car sections. It's recommended to only buy the first section, or you can also hike the whole way, as the paths up the mountain are not very difficult. After getting off the first cable car, it took us only 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 actually ten miles long, but as we walked, we finished it in no time!! Then we went to the Golden Summit of Mount Laojun. There's a restaurant on the way where they actually have instant noodles, priced at twenty to thirty per bowl. It's advisable to bring your own snacks. We each had a can of Eight-Treasure Porridge and some biscuits, and we weren't hungry at all during the climb. As for water, one bottle is enough. The prices on the mountain are not expensive, just two to three yuan more than usual. After climbing the Golden Summit, there are two other peaks nearby. You only need to climb one to enjoy the view. There's also the main peak of Funiu Mountain, which seems to be the highest peak and is worth climbing. After that, you can head back the same way. There are sometimes free performances next to the second cable car, and we didn't go to the glass bridge next to the first cable car, which costs fifty per person and is quite expensive. Since we descended early, we didn't see Mount Laojun lit up at night, but according to what netizens say, it's just so-so, haha, so we don't regret it. ❌❌❌On the way down, there's a slide and an aerial zip line, both of which should be avoided! We tried both and found they were 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 a group of people walking faster than our zip line... Overall, Mount Laojun is really easy to climb, especially for those who have climbed Mount Huangshan before, climbing Mount Laojun is really a breeze!! 💰The ticket for Mount Laojun is 100+ cable car 120+ round trip from Luoyang to Luan County by private car 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, it averaged a thousand per person.
