A
[Direct conclusion] 【Yes, but advise 'cable-car viewing only, no summit'.
Key points to keep in mind:
1. Laojun has two cable ways to Zhongtian Gate; Songshan's Shaoshi has a cable car.
2. Average stamina can view the golden summit/mountain by cable car without forcing the highest peak.】 Cable situation: Four elder climbing principles: ◆ Cable car all the way: don't save the fare to climb steps.
3. ◆ No summit still complete: the golden summit and ranges seen from Zhongtian are stunning enough.
4. ◆ Weather matters: in rain/fog cabins may stop and steps slip; we switch to indoor lines those days.
Note: Build in nap and meal breaks when travelling with small children.
