• I want to watch the sunrise and stay at the foot of the mountain

Pitfall Avoidance Guide

• Laojun Mountain, depending on the weather, the cableway may be suspended. Please check the announcement before departure
• There is a large temperature difference on the mountain, so prepare a coat
• Wet and slippery inside the cave, wear non slip shoes
• During holidays, the cable car queue lasts for 1-2 hours, with priority given to early departures

• First time in Zhengzhou, everything unfamiliar, but the experience was excellent. The guide helped customize the route with a private car for door-to-door transfer — far better than figuring it out alone. — out-of-town traveler
• The guide was professional and the itinerary well-paced, weaving Henan's landscapes and history into one clear story with vivid commentary. Great value for money, highly recommended. — multi-day traveler
• From booking onward there was a dedicated person coordinating and briefing us on trip notes in advance. Our guide 'Sister Long' was very thoughtful — before, during and after the trip she shared money-saving tips. We will recommend Junwei to friends and family next time. — family traveler
• Our guide's commentary was not just about the scenery — it was vivid and fun. We'd love to come back next time! — group traveler
