Legendary Journey- 2021 Yujian Golden Autumn Travel Notes(Including 6 5A-level scenic spots, 2100 yuan for food, accommodation and entertainment for 2 people. It is great value for money, lucky and happy)

It has been 21 years since I registered as a Ctrip member, and I haven't written travel notes for more than 6 years. I have become lazy. Most of the 42 travel notes that are still left in Ctrip cannot see the pictures and lack a lot of charm. (I accidentally went to the Ctrip community today and found that three more travel notes were missing. I think they were old posts from 20 years ago.) Hundreds of thousands of page views and hundreds of messages are all fond memories of the past.

There was a trip that I came in October this year. Looking back now, it was an extremely lucky trip-I had a good time, spent less, and the most important thing was that I perfectly avoided the epidemic.

The trip was between October 16 and 24, 2021, during which time a new round of epidemic outbreaks in Inner Mongolia and other places, which later spread to Henan and Shanxi; and within a few days after returning to Dalian, a round of epidemic broke out in Dalian starting from November 4, and it was impossible to get out for a whole month. I am so lucky to want to make this trip now.

Because of this particularly lucky reason, I decided to pick up the pen again in 2021-11-20, first write an outline and narrative the running accounts, and slowly put in the experience and photos of the period if anyone is interested. Unexpectedly, in one week, the number of post views was nearly 5000. In one month, it was already over 10,000. There are really people watching! He wrote another post about Laojun Mountain, which became even more popular. In two days, the number of views exceeded 5000, and the number of messages reached more than 30. For a moment of panic, he decided to stay at home and write a few more travel notes for Christmas.

The nine-day journey traveled through Henan, Shanxi and Shandong provinces, driving 2100 kilometers by themselves, and spending a total of 6347 yuan for the two people. In addition to transportation expenses, food, accommodation and entertainment cost 2086 yuan. Detailed explanation follows the specific details.

This trip is due to the "Yujian Golden Autumn Tour" tourism activity launched in Henan from October 10 to November 10, 2021. It was this free ticket event that inspired my wife and I to travel to Henan.

A total of 432 A-level scenic spots in Henan responded positively to this event, offering free tickets to tourists across the country. The free scenic spots accounted for 74.48% of the province's A-level scenic spots.

Among the 19 5A-level scenic spots in the province, 16 participated in the free ticket activities, namely Longmen Grottoes, Longtan Grand Canyon, Baiyun Mountain, Laojun Mountain-Jiguandong Scenic Area in Luoyang; Yaoshan Scenic Area in Pingdingshan; Yinxu, Hongqi Canal, Taihang Grand Canyon Scenic Area in Anyang; Yuntai Mountain, Qingtian River, and Shennongshan Scenic Area in Jiaozuo; Baligou Scenic Area in Xinxiang; Dinosaur Relics Garden and Laojieling Scenic Area in Nanyang; Mangdang Mountain Tourist Area in Shangqiu City; Zhumadian's Wushan Scenic Area.

It only took a week to travel to Henan, so that the boss was a little confused when he asked for leave from the company before leaving. Why was he suddenly so anxious to take annual leave? On October 12, I booked a ticket at Ctrip. The outbound trip was economy class at a discount of 2.1%; the return trip was a preferential economy class at a discount of 2.5%. The round-trip ticket was 610 yuan per person, which was really cheap.

After booking the ticket, I began to study the itinerary and attractions. For the first time, I set the tone of not going to non-5A-level scenic spots. Later, I found that Henan's tourism resources are too rich. I couldn't see all of Henan's 5A-level scenic spots in this time!

The biggest highlight of the 2021 Golden Autumn Tour to Henan is undoubtedly Laojun Mountain.

Check out the expenses first.

I am ashamed to say that a week before my departure, I, who claimed to be a tourist, didn't even know about the existence of Laojun Mountain. It wasn't until I saw the existence of Laojun Mountain Wonderland in the online videos when I was doing my homework before setting off, especially the magnificent aerial pictures overlooking the Golden Summit and the Sea of Clouds, that I was immediately shocked. I admire this "unparalleled saint land in the world, the world's number one immortal mountain." I immediately made the decision to visit Laojun Mountain no matter what and stay on the mountain for the night to watch the sunrise and the sea of clouds in the morning.

Before setting off, I paid special attention to the accommodation on Laojun Mountain. Looking at the introduction, it seemed that it was difficult to find a bed on the mountain during the peak season. I communicated with the owner of Fenghui Villa on the mountain near the summit on WeChat in advance, and orally booked a cabin for one night.

Starting from Luoyang Station in the morning, it took three and a half hours to drive to Laojun Mountain Scenic Area. The plan was to climb the mountain after lunch. Maybe I had too much breakfast and didn't feel hungry, so I decided to go up the mountain to eat. Near the entrance of the scenic spot, you can see the golden dome at the highest point from afar. The golden palace against the blue sky seems to be in the sky, which is shocking. I was suddenly looking forward to the trip to Laojun Mountain.

The pedestrian entrance and self-driving entrance of the scenic area are separate. The reservation code is not strict. You can enter by looking at your mobile phone. It is very atmospheric and there are no unpleasantness on the first day of free admission that you see online.

Large ticket for the scenic spot: 90 yuan/person (When we came, we were free to catch up with the event. We could make an appointment in the Mini programs in advance. It was easy to make reservations three days in advance. Later, I heard that it was difficult to get appointments at Baima Temple)

First-class cableway: Zhongling Cableway 130 yuan/person (round-trip)

Yunjing Cableway 130 yuan/person (round-trip)-We took this round-trip ride, and we were allowed to use the return ticket the next day.

Level 2 cableway: Fenglin cableway 80 yuan/person (round trip)-we only took the one-way down the mountain (40).

It took more than ten minutes to drive from the entrance of the scenic area to the parking lot under the first cableway. The parking lot closer to the cableway was already full, but there were scenic area staff maintaining order along the way. The speed was slow but orderly. Finally, we parked in the eighth parking lot behind a tunnel, farthest from the entrance of the cableway. This production site seems to be newly built. It is flat but has no floor. The best thing is that the supporting toilets have been repaired and are very clean, allowing tourists to have a good rest before going up the mountain.

Although it is not the tourist season, there are still quite a few people coming to Laojun Mountain. Many people are holding bamboo poles in their hands. There are many peddles on the roadside. Three poles are very cheap at 5 yuan and are probably recyclable. Before I came here, I didn't see any hints about using a climbing pole, so I didn't buy a bamboo pole. It later proved to be very wise. The road on the mountain was well built. If you took the main road, you would not need a bamboo pole at all.

What is worth mentioning is that when entering the scenic spot, you can't see the golden dome."I don't know the true face of the golden dome, but I just want to be in this mountain."

Carrying food and drinks, stuffing them into our backpack, we headed for the cableway.

There are two cableways for the first trip, Zhongling Cableway and Yunjing Cableway. Generally, one cableway is opened for rest. When we came, we drove Yunjing Cableway. The entrances to the two cableways are very close, and there are many B & Bs and restaurants next to them.

Arriving at the ticket office near the entrance of the cableway, the crowd was bustling, and many people were queuing. I asked my wife to wait for me to queue up to buy tickets. My wife called me out before I could even queue up. She bought a cableway ticket on her mobile phone (sweat... I thought I was a travel expert).

There are many people renting clothes and selling food near the entrance of the cableway. After asking about the price of the cloak, it was 50 yuan a day like the mountain mentioned in the guide, so I gave up the plan to rent clothes at the foot of the mountain. It later proved to be very wise and it was still very difficult to climb the mountain with a coat in my arms.

After returning to the "Panlong Town" at the entrance of the cableway, the line was officially lined up. After waiting in line for nearly an hour, the line finally boarded the cableway and cable car. It was almost twelve o'clock. You can imagine that there must be a long queue here during the peak tourist season.

The cable car is very new. It is full for eight people. It is very high from the ground. The highest point is estimated to be at least 50 meters. My wife was excited to take various photos, but I just quietly curled up in the corner of the cable car and looked at the landscape outside through the large glass window. I have taken the cable car many times before, but I am not so afraid of heights this time!

In fact, the cable car is generally very stable, but it will make a clang when passing through each pillar, and my heart will also make a clang. There are many ventilation holes around the cable car, and the constant mountain breeze blowing in is still cool and a little scary.

After getting off the first cable car, you will arrive at Zhongtianmen Square.

After a simple turn, we began to climb the stairs up the mountain. There were many people, with more than 500 steps. I felt very tired at first. There is not much scenery on the road. I suggest that if you are not short of money, you should take the second cable car up the mountain!

When you climb close to the top of the mountain, you can see the golden dome again. What excitement! (2500 words are omitted here) The current accommodation on Laojun Mountain on the mountain is a big problem, so it is recommended to book it in advance. We went at the end of October. I thought I had missed the peak tourist period, so I checked a villa online in advance, made a phone call to make an appointment, and added WeChat to make a room reservation. But I was asked to pay the house in advance, but I didn't. The cabin for two was 350 yuan. Looking at this youth inn on the top of the mountain before, one bed cost 100 to 300. The introduction is that you can see the golden dome when you go out. If you plan to watch the sunrise and stars, it is highly recommended; but the conditions are limited and it is a multi-person room. You can only wash in the bathroom, which is not convenient; the beds will be slightly tight during peak season. I just thought it would not be too late to settle on the mountain.

It is said that it takes 20 minutes to climb the steps from Fenghui Villa to Jinding where I was booked. I think it is still inconvenient to watch the sunrise in the morning. I try my best to stay at the youth inn above Jinding, but this youth inn does not accept advance reservations. I must go to see if there are beds. I think it is non-tourist peak season when I go, and there should be beds.

As a result, we passed Fenghui Villa without stopping. We followed the road directly to the top of the mountain and found the Youth Inn. It was about three o'clock in the afternoon and told us that all the beds were full.

I was very nervous at that time. I didn't expect accommodation on Laojun Mountain to be so tight. I immediately contacted the owner of Fenghui Villa on WeChat. Fortunately, there was still a room, so I immediately paid for all the money and kept the room. Later, I discovered the location of Fenghui Villa. It is really close to the Jinding. If you are going up the mountain, you can climb a direct staircase for 20 minutes. If you are going down the mountain, you won't even need ten minutes. It's very fast.

The boss also complained to me at that time, saying that you must have passed by me when you were going up the mountain. Why didn't you put this luggage and something here? You had to carry it up the mountain? I couldn't tell it honestly because I still wanted to live in the Golden Dome on the Mountain.

In fact, there is a highway leading up the mountain next to this. It is full of steps. It takes 20-30 minutes to reach the Jinding. If time is tight, you can choose. However, you will miss the scenery of the ten-mile painting screen. Here are some scenery photos here:

Lao Tzu asked on the way-lifelike! We followed the crowd on the main road up the mountain. The ten-mile painting screen was full of scenery. Finally, we reached the Jinding Peak through the Nantian Gate. It was beautiful, and it was suspected that it was in the sky!

In the end, this photo basically shows the whole picture of the Jinding Building Complex Square. Now we will review the attractions of Lower Laojun Mountain here.

Among the attractions of Laojun Mountain, there is no doubt that the Jinding Taoist Temple Group is the most touching attraction and is definitely a fairyland.

At the top of Laojun Mountain, Liangbao Terrace and Yuhuangding face each other. The middle gate is called Nantian Gate, which has a high meaning. It has a platform inside the gate. Laojun Hall is built in front and the Sutra Tower is behind it. It is called Laozi Tower in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The legend of Liangbaotai is the place where Taishang Lao Jun displays his treasures. The original building was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty and renovated in successive dynasties. Wei (yu) Chi Jingde of the Tang Dynasty oversaw the restoration once. The Ming Dynasty was at its peak. Iron rafters and iron tiles, big iron bells and copper oxen were all splendid. They were destroyed in the early 1950s. The current temple was rebuilt in 2004. The front hall is called the "Golden Top Taiqing Crown", which means that the sun shines and shines in all directions. The hall is dedicated to the Taishang Laojun and the gods who enjoy incense. The rear hall is the place where the Buddhist scriptures are stored. This is a large iron bell cast in the 19th year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty (i.e. 1519). It is 1.5 meters high, 1.3 meters in diameter, 3.7 centimeters thick, and weighs about 2 tons. The bell perimeter is beautifully decorated and the handwriting is clearly legible. A circle of 16 characters in regular script is engraved on it: "Long live the Emperor, the Prince will be thousands of years, the weather will be smooth, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be peaceful". It is vigorous and powerful. The small script is eroded by wind and rain due to its long history and is difficult to identify.

It is recommended that you must go up and circle the outside when you go to the Golden Hall. The scenery is very good, especially when looking at the Liangbao Terrace and Yuhuangding opposite. The Queen Mother is enshrined in the Golden Hall, and there is nothing particularly beautiful. There is a small plaque under the Golden Hall plaque with the words "Mother's Ceremony for the World", which feels weird.

If you have time, you must go to Liangbao Terrace and Yuhuangding opposite to climb to the summit. This place is higher than the Golden Hall and has a better view. It is a good place to take pictures of the Golden Hall and the scenery down the mountain.

Climbing Liangbao Terrace and Yuhuangding when there are many people is really a chore. The steps are steep and there is no turning back. No matter how tired you are, you have to grit your teeth to climb the top and then go down the other side of the stairs (in fact, the steps are side by side, but separated by iron cables in the middle). If you have time, especially to take sunrise in the morning, you can go to the highest peak of Laojun Mountain-Mazongling (2217 meters above sea level), where you can take pictures of the entire Jinding Building Complex.

The two peaks opposite the Jinding are like the head of a horse, while the peak behind is like a horse's mane. Therefore, the peak behind is named. Mazongling is the highest peak in the Laojun Mountain Scenic Area. It reaches 2200 meters and is the best place to enjoy the natural scenery of Laojun Mountain.

In addition to the Taoist temple buildings, the Shili Painted Screen on the south side of Mazongling has about 3,000 acres of stone forest landscape. It is called the "Beiguo Stone Forest" by geologists and is really rare to see. You can walk the suspended plank road + steps throughout the entire journey of Shili Painting Screen, which can see the strange peaks and beautiful stones, and you can also swim in the clouds. The general tour route of Shili Gallery is as follows:

Wonderland Tunnel--Millennium Maple King--Tianmen Opening and Closing--Lao Tzu's Sutra Stone--Duxiu Peak--Looking at the mountain guys--The phoenix chirping--Eight Rings Visiting the Immortals--The Elephant is invisible--Accompanying the Immortal World--Fairy Gu Welcome guests--Taiji Maze---Closed on Mingdao Peak--Wonderful Steps Lotus--Tianwang Views the Sea--Ethereal and Clear Void--Qianzhang Cliff--Guanyin Appreciation Song--Tianpeng Seeking Road--Taibai Slope--Watershed-The Highest Peak of Mazongling---Nantianmen Gate---Jinding Taoist Temple Group

Of course, you can also follow the main road. You can walk along the main road from the Wonderland Tunnel for about an hour and a half to reach the Nantian Gate.

Attractions of the Jinding Taoist Temple Group include:

Daodefuqian Square, Mazongling, Yuhuangding, Laojun Temple, Bell and Drum Tower.

In Laojun Temple is worshipped Sun Simiao, known as the "King of Medicine" in Taoism. He is a famous medical scientist and pharmacologist in the history of our country and even the world.

Let's popularize science-there are four great miracle doctors in Taoism. They are Bian Que, a physician in the early Warring States Period, Zhang Zhongjing, a physician in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo, a physician in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and Sun Simiao, a physician in the Tang Dynasty.

Recommended viewing spots for the sunrise: Mazongling, Yuhuangding, Shili Huaping Screen

Recommended sunset viewing spots: Liangbao Terrace, Shesen Cliff, Daodefuqian Square

The accommodation conditions on the mountain are definitely a bit more difficult. The cabin we stayed in should be better than the mountain, but the sound insulation is very poor. There are electric mattresses in the house, which is not very cold, but because of poor sound insulation, people come back one after another at night. After 11 o'clock, people are still laughing and laughing. They really can't rest well.

When we climbed Laojun Mountain, we prepared a Daokou Roast Chicken, three self-heating rice sets, and a self-heating small hot pot.

Eating self-heating hot pot and self-heating rice feels particularly good. The key is that they are hot and warm, with some of the side dishes I brought, sausages, and breakfast pasta with various cakes and buns (especially good in the hot pot). It's good.

We got up around four o'clock in the morning and couldn't sleep. We were walking up the mountain before five o'clock.

The purpose is to watch the sunrise. I checked before. The sunrise time is around 6 o'clock on October 20, so we started climbing at 5 o'clock. In fact, it was a bit early. In fact, there were very few tourists on the uphill expressway next to this villa. They were mainly mountain pickers. Most of the people who went up the mountain with instant noodles and drinks were grandfathers and grandmothers in their sixties and seventies.

In addition to the pole, they also have an important tool, which is a stick. Its very important role is to use the stick to support the pole when they are resting, so that people can sit down, and the goods do not have to be placed on the ground. In this way, they don't have to bother to lift the load again when they get up. You can also pause for a while while walking and use this stick to help carry weight.

The same road took me less than ten minutes to go down the mountain last night, but when I went up the mountain in the morning, it took almost half an hour to stop and walk. These mountain pickers went up the mountain at about the same speed as ours. They took a short rest in the middle, and then they walked up the mountain. One of the elders carried the heaviest weight. It was said that he could earn 36 yuan for this trip. I asked them how many times he could go a day, and they said they could only go on this trip in the morning. It was indeed a very tiring physical work. Another thing is that there are more tourists during the day, making it even harder to walk on the road, which makes it inconvenient for them to work.

I just read an article saying that life is not easy, no matter how difficult life is, go to the streets at four o'clock in the morning and see those busy people, and you will feel that it is nothing difficult. That's indeed the case. We climbed Laojun Mountain in the early morning of five o'clock. During this process, we could truly feel that these mountain pickers were all about the same age, sixty to seventy years old. It was difficult for them.

We arrived at the Jinding Summit at 5:30, much earlier than expected. There were very few people on the Jinding Observation Deck. This time was still far from the time of sunrise. I decided to continue moving forward and climb the highest peak-Mazong Ridge. This is the commanding height. From there, you can see the panoramic view of the golden dome, and then watch the sunrise. The scenery is definitely the best. The most important thing is to consume this time. It's too early and too cold.

The two peaks opposite the Jinding are like the head of a horse, while the peak behind is like a horse's mane. Therefore, the peak behind is named. Mazongling is the highest peak in the Laojun Mountain Scenic Area. It reaches 2200 meters and is the best place to enjoy the natural scenery of Laojun Mountain.

The wife was wearing the rented red cloak, which she said was very warm. The police coat I rented at my place, although it was the largest size and was marked with a four-pronged L, it was still small on me. Moreover, all the buttons on this coat that were used to fasten the buttons had fallen off, so I couldn't fasten the buttons. I had to press and hold them with my hands. Once I let go, the warm air in front of my stomach disappeared, so it was actually quite cold. However, a bowl of thick cotton pants I bought in the mall before going up the mountain is quite useful, and my legs don't get cold.

I walked through part of the road I walked yesterday, passed Nantian Gate again, and there was also a section of the ten-mile painting screen. There was no one in the morning, and the scenery had a new flavor, but it lacked the surprise of the first meeting yesterday!

Usually, the price for renting an overcoat is basically the same. The red cloak costs 50 yuan each, and the military coat costs 30 yuan a day. If you live there at night or watch the sunrise in the morning, it is very necessary to rent an overcoat. The clothes you rent, especially women's women's dresses, come in many styles. It is still the big red cloak. It is really beautiful at best, especially the one with the white velvet lining.

Wear more, wear more, wear more! The top of the mountain is really cold. If you find it troublesome, you can rent clothes. There are people renting cotton-padded jackets and storm-jackets from the foot of the mountain to Zhongtianmen. There are also people renting clothes at places on the top of the mountain. They are only more expensive than at the foot of the mountain, and the quantity is sufficient. However, the good-looking styles may be selected by others first.

Few people were seen on the road in the morning, which was in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of yesterday. The most obvious thing is to take photos at that place in Nantianmen Gate. Yesterday, if you wanted to take this place, it was impossible to have no photos of other people on the camera. However, this morning, there was indeed no one. Two photos were taken.

It was almost sunrise time, and it took half an hour to walk and take pictures to climb the highest peak, Mazong Ridge. It is said to be the highest peak, but it only takes five or six minutes to go up from the mountain road with a painting screen. It is indeed a bit higher than the Jinding. From afar, the viewing angle from this position is better, but the sun has not come out. Ah, it is very dark.

In the end, I saw the sunrise, didn't see the sea of clouds, and didn't catch the snow on the top of the mountain. It can be regarded as a little regret for coming to Laojun Mountain. However, how can there be so many complete things in life? I am very happy to be able to stay on the mountain for one night, see the sunset on the golden roof and the light show on the golden roof the night before, and eat hot, self-heating small hot pot on the mountain., coupled with self-heating rice.

There are many resting areas in the scenic area, which provide drinks, bread, instant noodles, noodles, corn and other foods. The place to stay on the top of the mountain also cooks (noodles, breakfast porridge, cakes, etc.) and sells things; the price is slightly expensive, so if you mind, you can bring your own snacks.

On the way down the mountain, we carried all the food waste and took both cable cars.

Let's add that there is another big problem with mountain accommodation, which is the bathroom. The bathrooms are basically public toilets outside the house. In this villa where we live, we walked by the bathroom ourselves. We walked around for about seven or eight minutes. It looked very close. Later, the owner of the villa said that he would open a series of single toilets under the public toilet for us at night. This way, it would be much closer. It was about three to four minutes walk. It was on the roadside. It was not as clean as the large bathroom above and had no washbasins. But being able to walk less on cold nights is the most important thing.

When you get off the cable car, you can see many Taoist characters on the wall, which is quite interesting. Many written contents contain the core of Taoism.

To be fair, the food on Laojun Mountain is really not expensive. A bucket of instant noodles sounds like ten yuan, which seems a little higher, but instant noodles are particularly expensive. Everything else is very fair, it should be said that, including some snacks, drinks and nothing more expensive than at the foot of the mountain.

It was just that before going up the mountain, we prepared a little too much. Later, when we were going up the mountain, we began to carry a lot of food. The two of us brought a roast chicken, a small self-heating pot, two self-heating rice, um, some cakes, some cold dishes, the breakfast in the morning, the mixed cold dishes, a bag of fried fish, and a bag of Harbin red sausage.

The spicy tofu rolls that his wife claimed she wanted to eat, as well as a bottle of beer, four 200-ml yoghurts, two bottles of drinks, and three bottles of mineral water. Facts have proved that this is too much. I only ate a bucket of instant noodles on the mountain. I ate it when I was waiting to watch the light show at night. I was either too hungry or too cold, so I ate something warm. -- Eating a bucket of hot instant noodles at Jinding is by no means a need to check in, but more a need for your body!

Finally, let's sort out the matters needing attention for food, clothing, housing and transportation in Laojun Mountain:

The food, clothing, housing and transportation of Laojun Mountain start with "clothing":When going up and down Laojun Mountain, you can wear the same clothes as at the foot of the mountain. You won't feel cold, or even feel hot when climbing the steps. The top of the mountain is relatively cool, especially in the morning and evening. If you watch the sunrise and sunset and the light show at night, you must rent clothes on the top of the mountain. There is no need to rent clothes at the foot of the mountain or halfway up the mountain. Just rent clothes when it feels a little cool. If you get up early or go to dark, it is absolutely impossible not to thicker your clothes.

The price of renting clothes on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain is the same, but there may be fewer styles to choose from on the mountain, and the quality of the clothes may be worse. In fact, it doesn't matter. They are all temporary wear and there is no need to burden themselves.

Let's talk about it nextLaojun Mountain's "food", there are also small shops on the mountain, and small restaurants sell food. The most famous one is Jinding's instant noodles, which cost ten yuan a barrel. The price is affordable. The key is to eat a bowl of hot soup, which is a luxury on the cold mountain top.

In addition, there are some food stalls on the mountain that sell other pasta food, snacks, tea eggs, and are all okay. I brought too many things, so I only ate a bucket of instant noodles in the morning and evening. But looking at the price, it's really not expensive; I feel that the quality is also good. The suggestion is to eat drinks up the mountain and carry heavy ones on your back. There's no need. Just bring less, and just buy the rest at any time.

The "residence" of Laojun Mountain:

There are many inns and hotels to choose from at the foot of the mountain, so I won't say much. If you live on the top of the mountain, you still need to be mentally prepared. One is that the sanitary strips are poor. All toilets without indoor toilets are outside. The sanitary conditions in the public toilets on the top of the mountain are worse during the day, especially after the freezing in winter. Maybe it doesn't smell better than water, and no one cleans it up at night... You know.

There is also a place to stay at the exit of the second-way cableway. When I went, there was no room left. There was only 300 yuan for a double tent.

Journey to Laojun MountainFirst of all, we are now driving our own car to travel. It is very convenient to drive to Laojun Mountain. There is a separate entrance to the park and a very large parking lot near the cableway, which is convenient to go up the mountain. There is no way to avoid the cableway. Normally, you need to take the cable car on the lower floor. If you have to walk, the journey is relatively long. The altitude difference is also very large and there is basically no scenery. For the second trip of the cable car, you can decide whether to take it. If you have enough time, you can climb the stairs up the mountain, and it will not take long to go up the mountain.

From the perspective of the route up the mountain, don't miss the road that takes the main road and draws the screen for ten miles. If there are many people walking normally, it takes one and a half to two hours, and the scenery is very good. There are also some fork roads in the middle, such as Mazongling. Then you can climb to the highest peak of Laojun Mountain and view the entire Jinding Building Complex. However, when you are above it, you are usually eager to go to Jinjing and won't stop too much. We have enough time the next morning, so we will go the next day.

It is worth noting that there are two roads up the mountain caused by the second item. One is a regular route. It is a relatively flat road, which is a long way, but the scenery is very good. There is also a road that is generally not noticed when going up the mountain. There is a short access by steps, and the steps are well built. If you don't rest halfway, you can go up the mountain in about 20 minutes, and it only takes 8-10 minutes to go down the mountain.

Key points: The official news from the park is that the downhill cable car will be suspended at 18:30. In fact, it will not end until all the guests watching the light show get on the cable car. Therefore, if you don't really want to watch the sunrise, you really don't need to live on the mountain. You can take the cable car and withdraw it at night! On the day I was there, the downhill cable car stopped at 19:30.

This is the first time I have written travel notes in the form of partial dictation. Every day on the way to and from work, I pick up my mobile phone and say a paragraph on WeChat, then convert it into text, and then organize it and edit it. It is quite interesting. It seems that I have seen this writer take a voice recorder before, ah, what kind of thing, and start talking to it, as if we ordinary people can also use this technology and this method now. I just bought Huawei's MATE BOOKE 2-in-1 computer last week. The important reason is that it has a voice to text function.
