It is said that Laojun Attraction is the place where Li Er (Laozi), the founder of Taoism, practiced in seclusion. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, a temple was built in the mountain to commemorate it. Later, it was named "the famous mountain in the world" and has always been popular. The mountain is lush with trees and picturesque, and mountain springs can be seen everywhere. In the golden autumn, this is the best choice for viewing red leaves in the Souvenir areas. After the rain, Laojun Mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist in each peak, like a fairyland in the sky.
The Attraction area is huge and is mainly divided into the main Laojun Mountain Attraction in the center, the Dream Valley Attraction in the west, and the Zhaigou Attraction Area in the east. Generally, tourists will spend a day to visit the main Laojun Mountain Attraction, which is also the most developed area of the entire Attraction.

In the main Attraction of Laojun Mountain, you can stay near Zhongtianmen on the mountainside and Laojun Temple on the top of the mountain. There are hotels near Zhongtianmen with better accommodation conditions, while the accommodation conditions Souvenir Laojun Temple are relatively poor.

Compared with the Zhaigou Attraction in the east, the mountain roads in Dream Chasing Valley are smoother, and tourists can choose one of them to go down the mountain according to their preferences.
There are many places in the Attraction that can provide Dining services for tourists, but the signboards on some sections of the road in the Attraction are not yet very complete, so tourists need to pay more attention when visiting.

Fairyland is worth a visit! 1. Self-driving parking 🚗 The parking lot is large and the charges are reasonable (10-20 yuan/day). It is recommended to park in parking lot No. 13 for self-driving, which is close to the entrance of the scenic area and a few minutes' walk to the first-level cableway entrance. It is recommended to arrive early, as parking spaces are tight during the peak season. 2. Ways to go up the mountain 🚠 *Cableway*: It is recommended to take the first section (Zhongling/Yunjing Cableway) to save energy, and the second section (Fenglin Cableway) is optional, with more beautiful scenery. *Hiking*: Those with good physical strength can choose to hike up the mountain. The scenery along the way is beautiful, but it takes a long time (about 3-4 hours), which is suitable for tourists who like challenges. 3. Special experience 🌄 *Ten-mile Painting Screen*: The cliff plank road has beautiful scenery, and the clouds and mist are like a fairyland. Take more photos! *Golden Summit Taoist Temple Group*: Located on the top of the mountain, the golden buildings are like the celestial palace descending, especially at sunrise and sunset. 4. Jinding Lighting Time 💡 The lights are on at about 18:30-19:00 in summer and earlier in winter (around 17:30), and last for 30 minutes. The night view is super dreamy, it is recommended to occupy a good seat in advance! 5. Eat instant noodles on Laojun Mountain 🍜 There is hot water supply on the top of the mountain. Bring your own instant noodles or buy them on the spot (10-15 yuan/bucket). Eating instant noodles on the top of the mountain at an altitude of 2000+ meters has a unique flavor. Netizens jokingly call it "Laojun Mountain Limited Instant Noodle Experience"! 6. Reasons for recommendation 👍 - The scenery is beautiful and suitable for all seasons (flower viewing in spring, summer escape, autumn red leaves, winter snow scenery). - Complete facilities, flexible cableway + hiking options, suitable for different tourists. - With profound cultural heritage, Taoist holy land, and magnificent Jinding buildings. - High cost performance, reasonable ticket + cableway package, and super value for money! Laojun Mountain is worthy of being called "the world's unparalleled holy land". Both the natural scenery and the cultural landscape are amazing. I highly recommend it! 🌟
Laojun Mountain is a place full of beauty and grandeur. Back then, Japan had launched 13 missiles and it had never been destroyed. This alone destined it to be an extraordinary existence. Just like the Chinese people who dared to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky, it is tenacious and vigorous! Decorated with snow, it is the most gorgeous existence; the light of the magnificent buildings has already made it elegant and brilliant. Now, with pieces of pure white snow as an outer layer, I can only say that it is a display of grandeur and elegance, nobility and warmth. In addition, the weather is beautiful, accompanied by rounds of orange-gold sunsets, sprinkled on its buildings and window sills, and the broad vision projected makes tourists unable to leave their sight, completely capturing everyone's hearts. The hustle and bustle of the traffic, the rustling of the passing years blowing you and me running, at this moment, all seem to be swept away by the grandeur and beauty of Laojun Mountain... If I pursue life in reading thousands of miles of books, then in traveling thousands of miles, I pursue the appearance that I should belong to!
