M28***06Laojun Mountain Today I chose the lazy way to climb the mountain. I highly recommend driving. There are plenty of parking spaces inside the scenic area, and parking is free and unlimited. When leaving the scenic area, the electric tram costs 5 yuan per vehicle, and the gasoline car costs 10 yuan per vehicle. The scenic area entrance fee is 100 yuan. No reservation is needed for vehicles entering the scenic area; just scan your ID card at the entrance. Park near the Yunjing/Zhongling cableway (Level 1 cableway). Currently, only one of the two cableways is open each day, with the same price, and opening is random. Today we used the Yunjing cableway, which costs 130 yuan round trip. The Level 1 cableway is a must-ride; otherwise, it's estimated to take 4 hours to climb to Zhongtianmen. After getting off the Level 1 cableway, walk 5 minutes to the Fenglin cableway (Level 2 cableway), which costs 80 yuan round trip. After getting off the cableway, go through the Fairy Tunnel to reach the Ten-Mile Painting Screen. The essence of the mountain scenery is all here; it's all flat ground, no climbing required, and every step reveals a beautiful view. When you reach the General Peak service area, be sure to use the restrooms; they are cleaner here than at the top of the mountain. This concludes the tour of the Ten-Mile Painting Screen. You can choose to take the elevator directly to the Golden Summit for 40 yuan, but it has been closed since March of this year. The only option is to hike, which took about an hour. When you reach the Taibai Service Area, be sure to check the route carefully. There are two paths: one leads to the summit of Funiu Mountain, requiring further hiking; the other is a gentler path directly to the Golden Summit, which you can see at the service area, behind the souvenir pavilion. Both paths eventually lead to the Golden Summit; choose according to your physical condition. Today I only visited the Golden Summit, Daode Mansion, Laojun Temple, and Jade Emperor Peak. They were very beautiful. I went in the morning and didn't get to see the lights come on at night. When I came down, I saw a long queue for the cable car, just like during the October 1st holiday. People say Xi'an only has peak season and peak-peak season, and this place seems to be similar. To get down, you can take the slide for 20 yuan, which takes you directly to the entrance of the second-level cable car. The entire trip took 4 hours. Overall, Laojun Mountain has beautiful scenery and is worth visiting, but the overall cost is quite high. If you need to burn incense, bring your own, as it's more expensive on the mountain (30 yuan for 3 sticks). Wishing plaques are also available; 5 yuan at the foot of the mountain, 20 yuan on the mountain. There are many stalls at the summit; instant noodles are 12 yuan, but don't bring your own, as you'll need to pay an extra 5 yuan for hot water if you bring your own. There are also Mixue Ice Cream, Bawang Tea, Kuafu Fried Skewers, Zhengxin Chicken Cutlet, etc., with prices similar to those at the foot of the mountain, which are quite reasonable. Most people choose to go up the mountain around 1 pm because the Golden Summit is very beautiful when lit up at night. However, it gets quite crowded. Also, bring a coat, sun hat, umbrella, etc. It's cold on the mountain, especially at night.

M34***58The hotel boasts a super convenient location, just a few minutes' walk from the subway station, and surrounded by a variety of restaurants. The rooms were clean and odor-free, with soft, skin-friendly bedding for an excellent sleep experience. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, even proactively offering travel tips. Excellent value for money, I'll definitely choose this hotel again for my next trip!

_We***53Visiting the Wangfu Bamboo Sea Scenic Area was a bit of a chore. Even though the trip was clearly over, I was still lost in the scenery. The scenic area is truly stunning. It's perfect for everyone, young and old. The diverse waterfalls cascade from bottom to top, and the temperature in the mountains is around 23°C (36°C outside in early August). Those with mobility issues can ride a magic carpet, which offers a slide down the mountain. Young children can play in the water while following their parents up the mountain, reaching the summit before they know it. Younger adults have no problem taking photos, capturing the affection of couples, and running hand in hand, stopping for playful moments. It's truly delightful. The Sky Mirror check-in spot along the way is truly photogenic. Don't miss this magical destination!

M88***57The main attraction was Laojun Mountain, but we stopped by this 5A scenic area as a side trip. The unexpected surprise came mainly from the handsome guide. The caves are naturally formed. Their shapes and interesting features were all thanks to the guide's explanations. He was knowledgeable, articulate, patient, and interactive with the visitors, making for a pleasant journey.
54.2/5M16***77After visiting Laojun Mountain, I drove for an hour to the Funiushan Ski Resort. It was noon when I went there, and there were not many people. There was only one beginner ski slope, which didn't seem very big, but fortunately there weren't many people, otherwise I would have been afraid of bumping into someone while skiing. The price is higher than the ski resorts near Luoyang.

132***82I have always heard that Yangzigou is a place suitable for traveling with children and the elderly, but I always want to go to popular scenic spots, and these small places have never been arranged on the schedule. This time, several scenic spots in Luanchuan were affected by the disaster, but Yangzigou was fine, so I brought my children to transfer it. It’s really good, a paradise for playing in the water, but I only care about playing in the water and have no time to climb the mountain.

M39***74The Tianhe Grand Canyon (Daohuigou) Scenic Area has been well received by tourists. Its magnificent mountains, dense vegetation, quiet streams and connected ponds and waterfalls form a beautiful landscape painting. The scenic area has steep mountains, rich vegetation and clear streams, providing tourists with two routes: swimming and climbing. Among them, the iconic landscapes such as Optimus Prime, Dapeng Spreading Wings and Wuzhi Peak have become representative wonders of the Funiu Mountain area with their height, steepness and beauty. Tourists have said that the scenery in the scenic area is beautiful, especially the mountain scenery is impressive, and the mountains are as beautiful as Huangshan from a distance. In addition, the climate in the scenic area is pleasant, which is very suitable for summer vacation and sightseeing, and it is also very suitable for parent-child travel. However, some tourists also mentioned that some areas in the scenic area are under construction, which may affect some viewing experiences. At the same time, the cable car is fast, so tourists need to pay attention. Overall, the Tianhe Grand Canyon (Daohuigou) Scenic Area is a good place for leisure, vacation and summer sightseeing worth visiting.
