Laojun Mountain Scenic Spot

It is said that Laojun Attraction is the place where Li Er (Laozi), the founder of Taoism, practiced in seclusion. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, a temple was built in the mountain to commemorate it. Later, it was named "the famous mountain in the world" and has always been popular. The mountain is lush with trees and picturesque, and mountain springs can be seen everywhere. In the golden autumn, this is the best choice for viewing red leaves in the Souvenir areas. After the rain, Laojun Mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist in each peak, like a fairyland in the sky. The Attraction area is huge and is mainly divided into the main Laojun Mountain Attraction in the center, the Dream Valley Attraction in the west, and the Zhaigou Attraction Area in the east. Generally, tourists will spend a day to visit the main Laojun Mountain Attraction, which is also the most developed area of ​​the entire Attraction. If you go to the top of the mountain, you will also have the opportunity to see the beautiful sea of ​​clouds, sunrise, and sunset. The main Attraction of ​​Laojun Mountain includes Zhongtianmen, Jinding, Laojun Temple, Nantianmen, Yuhuangding and Mazongling. Since its construction in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Laojun Temple has been the center of worship for pilgrims from the Central Plains; the Taoist temple on Yuhuangding enshrines the Jade Emperor and is also a good place to view the scenery in the mountain; Jinding and Mazongling are good places to watch the sunrise and the sea of ​​clouds. Recommended itinerary: Day Trips Most tourists choose to spend a day to visit the main Attraction of ​​Laojun Mountain. Lingguan Hall - the statue of Laojun at the foot of the mountain - Lincu Hall - Zhongtianmen - tree-lined trail - Lying Yunsong - Bodhisattva Hall - Laojun Temple, Jinding - Yuhuangding, and then return along the original route. Tourists can choose to walk the whole way or take a "walk + cable car" tour of Laojun Mountain according to their own conditions. There is the Zhongling Cableway of the Attraction between the Lingguan Temple at the foot of the mountain and the Zhongtian Gate on the mountainside. Take the Zhongling Cableway and then walk from Zhongtian Gate to the top of the mountain, Yuhuang Peak. The road from Zhongtian Gate to the top of the mountain is not very steep and can usually be completed in about an hour. Two-day tour If you have enough time, you can spend two days to visit Laojun Mountain. The general route is: D1: Visit the main Attraction of ​​Laojun Mountain and stay in the mountain that night. D2: From the top of Laojun Mountain, choose to go down the mountain to the Dream Valley in the west or the Zhaigou Attraction in the east, and arrive at the west gate and east gate of the Attraction respectively. In the main Attraction of ​​Laojun Mountain, you can stay near Zhongtianmen on the mountainside and Laojun Temple on the top of the mountain. There are hotels near Zhongtianmen with better accommodation conditions, while the accommodation conditions Souvenir Laojun Temple are relatively poor. If you plan to go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise the next morning, you can stay Souvenir Laojun Temple. Compared with the Zhaigou Attraction in the east, the mountain roads in Dream Chasing Valley are smoother, and tourists can choose one of them to go down the mountain according to their preferences. There are many places in the Attraction that can provide Dining services for tourists, but the signboards on some sections of the road in the Attraction are not yet very complete, so tourists need to pay more attention when visiting.Luanchuan · 59.2km from Song County

Historical background: The Shaanxi History Museum is located to the northwest of the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and is one of Xi'an's signature attractions. Planning for the museum began in 1977, the foundation stone was laid in November 1986, and it was officially completed and opened on June 20, 1991, when it was named the Shaanxi History Museum. In 2016, it was selected by the Chinese Cultural Relics Society and the Architectural Society of China for inclusion in the "Architectural Heritage of China in the 20th Century." Museum features: It is a large modern museum, and its completion marked a new milestone in the development of China's museum industry. This building complex features Tang-style architecture with a "central hall and four corner towers," arranged in an orderly hierarchy with varied heights, presenting a solemn grandeur that integrates national tradition, local characteristics, and the spirit of the era. The museum covers an area of 65,000 square meters and houses over 1.7 million cultural relics, ranging from simple stone tools used in the earliest stages of ancient humans to various artifacts from social life before 1840, spanning more than one million years. The cultural relics are not only numerous and diverse in type, but also of high quality and broad value. The collection is a dazzling array of treasures. It is an art palace showcasing Shaanxi's history and culture and ancient Chinese civilization, and is known as the "pearl of the ancient capital and treasure house of China." The museum houses many treasures, including bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, pottery figurines from various dynasties, gold and silverware from the Han and Tang dynasties, and murals from Tang tombs, most of which are treasures from the prosperous periods of the Han and Tang dynasties, and among them are fine pieces that the state prohibits from being taken out of the country. Treasures in the collection: There are three exhibition halls in the center of the museum. The first exhibition hall displays cultural relics from the prehistoric civilization of the Lantian Man 1.15 million years ago to the Qin Dynasty; the second exhibition hall displays cultural relics from the Han Dynasty and the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties; the third exhibition hall mainly features cultural relics from the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Each exhibition hall has its own treasure. Special exhibition halls are located on both the east and west sides of the central hall. The west side houses the "Special Exhibition of Tang Dynasty Treasures (Treasures gallery, artifacts unearthed from Hejiacun)", and many fine gold and silverware pieces from the High Tang period have been moved here for display. The east side houses the "Exhibition of Tang Dynasty Mural Treasures," which displays a number of authentic Tang tomb murals. Yu Ding The Yu ding is placed in the first exhibition hall at the museum entrance, and can be regarded as the treasure of the first exhibition hall. What is placed here is a replica; the genuine artifact is kept in storage. Inscription on the outer wall: The inscription reads "Under the vast heaven, there is no land that is not the king's; within the shores of the land, there is no one who is not the king's subject," reflecting the land ownership system of the Western Zhou period. The inner wall of the Yu Ding bears a four-line inscription of 28 characters, the gist of which is: in the early eighth month of a certain year, Wang Jiang took back the land originally granted to Shi Lu and regranted it to Yu, whereupon Yu had this ding cast to commemorate the event. Empress's jade seal: One of the treasures worth seeing in Exhibition Hall 2 is this jade seal of a Han dynasty empress, displayed on its own. The seal is made entirely of Hetian mutton-fat jade from Xinjiang, and is carved on top with a chi tiger, symbolizing royal power. Tri-colored glazed pottery figurine of a camel carrying musicians: This world-famous tri-colored glazed pottery figurine of a camel carrying musicians is located in the third exhibition hall of the museum, and its overall appearance and colors are well preserved. Seven men are seated on the camel's back, holding different musical instruments. Among them, the figurine holding clappers has its ear inclined and its attention focused, as if intoxicated by the beautiful music. In the middle, a woman is performing, and the camel has its mouth wide open, gazing upward toward the sky, as if also joining its master in singing loudly. Gold-inlaid agate cup with animal-head design: This artifact, located in the special exhibition "Special Exhibition of Tang Dynasty Treasures," is one of the first sixty-four national treasures listed by the National Cultural Heritage Administration that are permanently prohibited from being exhibited abroad. In addition, there are a black-glazed oil-spot bowl, a celadon-glazed ewer with a handle and bottom-fill design, a gilt silver bamboo-joint bronze incense burner,Gold bowl with mandarin duck and lotus petal designAnd many other treasures.China · Xi'an

Tianchi Mountain Scenic Area, located in Song County, Luoyang City, is an eco-tourism area relatively close to Luoyang (about 95 kilometers away). The scenic area is surrounded by mountains and the lake is clear. A good place to visit the mountains for leisure. During the opening period, there are 5 buses directly to the scenic spot every day at Songxian Bus Station and in the afternoon. There are mainly five small scenic spots in the scenic spot, including Feilaishi, Tianchi, Yunvxi, Wangmang Village and Erlanggou. Tourists can visit the tourist trails in the mountains according to the schematic diagram of the scenic spot. There are various natural landscapes in the scenic area. In the lush forests, you can see waterfalls and clear springs from time to time. You can see more waterfalls in Tianchi, Yunvxi, Erlanggou, etc., which are not many in the northern mountainous areas. see you. The Feilai Stone in the mountain is more than 1,500 meters high. The stone is about 20 meters high, but it touches the ground less than 10 square meters, and it tilts to one side, giving you a shaky feeling. When you pass thousands of steps and come to the Tianchi Lake on the top of the mountain, you will be intoxicated by the vast lake and beautiful scenery in front of you. The area of the scenic spot is relatively large, and many sections are stone steps. For those who do not exercise less than usual, climbing to the top of the mountain will feel a little tiring. There are hotels and farmhouses in the scenic area, which can provide accommodation and catering services. It is also a good choice to stay for one night in such a natural environment.Song County · 26.3km from downtown

Baiyun Mountain is definitely worth a visit! The scenery is stunning, with layered mountains that are perfect for photos. The mountain air is fresh and full of negative ions, making it a relaxing place to walk with children. The overall environment is comfortable and pleasant, making hiking and sightseeing a very enjoyable experience. I highly recommend everyone come and get close to nature! This is my 5th visit already.

The primeval forest landscape. Thousands of peaks compete for beauty, the rocks are jagged; the pools and waterfalls are linked, and the ancient trees are towering. The mountains are green and lush; the Funiu Peak is so high that you can reach the sky with your hands. Enjoy the azaleas in spring and avoid the heat in summer; the autumn leaves are gorgeous and the snow is spectacular in winter. It is adjacent to the 5A Baiyun Mountain and Yao Mountain, and is connected to the primeval forests Longchiman and Baotianman. There are also scenic spots such as Xitai Mountain, Longyin, Wolong Valley, Wudaotan, and Yangshan in the surrounding area. It is very convenient to live in a farmhouse or Checun Town at the foot of the mountain. It is a tourist destination with big mountains, big waters, and great beauty, and a very cost-effective scenic spot.

龙门石窟还是非常值得一去的景点,整体规模很大,沿着伊河两岸可以看到许多历史悠久的石窟和佛像,景色也很不错,尤其是卢舍那大佛,非常震撼。整个游览过程大概需要3至4个小时。门票价格虽然不算便宜,但考虑到这里的历史文化价值,还是值得的。第一次来洛阳的话,非常推荐来这里看看。

九龙瀑布,位于洛阳市白云山景区,主体瀑布落差123米,在丰水期还是很壮观的。如果在春天或者冬天,水量就少了很多。参观的时候要做好失望的准备。

It's nice to see up close a little piece from the China history. You get to see the real work they have done over 2,000 years ago. And to imagine they did it with so many details, and so many soldiers, horses.

天池山景区又是一个洛阳人周末的好去处!因为这个景区可以开车,所以自驾游是一个比较好的选择!建议把车停在中间停车场,进行徒步!爬到天池山景区!拍照后稍微休息一下,穿越到伟人石像处,大约要3小时!搭乘景区区间车到中间停车场进行午餐。野野炊也不错!这景区春夏,秋都可以去。最美是天池的秋倒影十分有意境和山水画的画面感!值得多前往
