Laojun Mountain: A Feast for the Senses!

"A feast for the senses, a sight to behold." When the cold winter wind blows, Laojun Mountain unfolds like an ink painting, covered in snow and ice, exuding breathtaking beauty. 1. Best Time to Visit⌛ Laojun Mountain in winter, from December to February, is a world of ice and snow. If you want to see snow and rime, January is the best time, when the peaks and trees are covered in snow, like a dream. However, the temperature on the mountain is low in winter, so pay attention to the weather forecast in advance and choose a sunny day after snow to visit, so you can enjoy the magnificent snow scenery and have a better experience. 2. Travel Route🗺️ It is recommended to take the Zhongling Cableway or Yunjing Cableway from the entrance of the scenic area. - After taking the Zhongling Cableway, you can go to Zhongtianmen, where you can see the statue of Laozi riding a bull and other attractions, and feel the cultural heritage of Taoism. Then go to the Fenglin Cableway and take the cableway to Shili Huaping. Shili Huaping is the essence of Laojun Mountain, and the plank road in winter is like a fairyland corridor against the backdrop of snow, with various stone formations along the way, such as "Dolphin Playing with Pearls" and "Elephant Without Form", which are amazing. Then go to Mazongling, which is a great place to see the panoramic view of Laojun Mountain, with the rolling mountains rising and falling in the snow and ice, and the sea of clouds rolling, as if you are in a fairyland. - After taking the Yunjing Cableway, the route overlaps with the Zhongling Cableway, and you will also pass through the main attractions such as Shili Huaping. 3. Accommodation Recommendations🏨 - Mountain Top Hotel: Convenient for watching the sunrise, sunset, and starry sky. However, the price is relatively high, and you need to book in advance in winter and confirm whether the heating facilities are complete, such as Jinding Hotel. - Homestay at the Foot of the Mountain: The price is more affordable, and there are many choices. After a day of playing, you can taste local food nearby and go up the mountain the next day after a night's rest. Some characteristic farmhouses can let you experience the local customs. 4. Precautions⚠️ - Keep warm with thick down jackets, warm gloves, scarves, snow boots, etc. The wind is strong and cold on the mountain, so avoid frostbite. - Prepare sunscreen products, as the ultraviolet rays are still strong in high-altitude areas in winter. - Bring some high-calorie snacks, such as chocolate, beef jerky, etc., to replenish your energy during the trip. There are relatively few dining spots on the mountain, and food may easily get cold in winter. Laojun Mountain in winter is a feast of ice and snow given by nature. Pack your bags and go on an unforgettable fairyland trip❄️
