Anyang 3-Day Tour: Laojun Mountain

Arrive early in the morning Longtan Grand Canyon and take a leisurely stroll along the creek trail while cool—especially refreshing in summer. Free time in the afternoon, you can take extra photos of the Skyline Skirt, and return in the evening.

Friendly reminder: The biggest fear in free time is getting caught off guard. It's recommended to keep your ID and cash separately and confirm the meeting time and place with the guide in advance. Visitors generally report that free activity days are the most relaxed day, and you can go at your own pace. Depending on your situation, bring some change and small packaged snacks. These will be useful when the signal is poor or you need to resupply at the scenic spot—don't wait until you're hungry.

Today's Laojun Mountain in-depth tour: after taking the cable car up the mountain, focus on the Golden Summit, the Ten-Mile Painted Screen, and the glass viewing platform, and follow the guide to learn about Taoist culture and the geology of Funiu Mountain. In the afternoon, go down to rest and build up your energy for the next day.

Attraction introduction: A highlight of the itinerary is Laojun Mountain, located in Luanchuan County Luoyang. It is the main peak of Funiu Mountain and a famous Taoist mountain, said to be the place where Laozi, the founder of Taoism, retired for cultivation. The Golden Summit Daoist temple cluster stands atop a peak over 2,000 meters above sea level. Its golden tiles and red walls and surging sea of clouds are renowned as "a spectacular feast on earth and a glimpse of the flourishing world." The Ten-Mile Painted Screen is the highlight of the entire trip. A high-altitude plank road suspended above a sheer cliff changes views with every step, offering panoramic views of peaks, forests, sea of clouds, and sunrises. You can take a two-level cable car up the mountain; on sunny days, you can watch the sea of clouds and sunrise from the summit. In winter, it is a highly popular snow-viewing spot in the Central Plains. My understanding is: be sure to take the cable car up the mountain early to seize the golden summit and the beautiful scenery of the Ten-Mile Painting Screen; At the summit, the wind is strong and the temperature low; a windbreaker and thermos bottle are standard, and the glass observation deck is a must-have.

Friendly reminder: The mountain roads are slippery, so be sure to shift your center of gravity and slow down downhill. Knee pads are recommended. Visitors generally report that the sea of clouds and sunrise at the Golden Summit are recognized as the main highlights, and many people stay at the summit waiting for dawn; Reminder: The temperature difference at the summit is large and cable car lines are long, so be sure to arrive early during peak season. Considering actual conditions, the biggest fear of joining a tour group is skimming the scene; listening to the explanation is the essence. The cultural stories behind each attraction are often more unforgettable than photos. If you don't understand something, ask the guide on the spot.
