It is said that Laozi, the founder of Taoism, once practiced here. There is a large Taoist building complex on the mountain, including the Golden Summit, Laojun Temple, Jade Emperor Summit, etc. ❤Recommendation reason: The Jinding Taoist temple complex is built with three golden roofs: the Golden Palace, Liangbaotai, and Yuhuangding. The palace-style Taoist temple complex is built on the top of the mountain and is called the "Golden Palace". The Golden Palace echoes the two peaks of Liangbaotai and Yuhuangding in the distance. It is naturally formed, with the yin and the yang, ingeniously forming the spectacular scene of two dragons playing with a pearl. Its ingenious architectural style and unique geographical location form a perfect picture of "harmony between man and nature". 🌟Highlights: Standing in the Golden Palace, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Laojun Mountain, feel the ancient, dazzling and mysterious atmosphere, and experience the visual impact of the high integration of architecture and nature. 🗓Itinerary: Laojun Mountain is open 24 hours a day and ticket inspection is available for entry, but the time to take the cable car up the mountain is from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. 1.

Drive directly to the entrance of the first-level cable car and take the first-level cable car up the mountain. It costs 130 yuan and takes 8 minutes. After getting off the second and second level cable cars, there are two roads leading to the Jinding Taoist Temple complex. You can choose to go around the Ten-Li Painting Screen and walk for about 2 hours to reach the Jinding, or you can take a shortcut and walk directly to the Jinding in about 20 minutes. After visiting the Golden Summit, return along the original route and choose to walk down the mountain. It will take about 40 minutes to reach the first-level cable car entrance. 3. Hiking trail: To the left there is a fairyland tunnel and a ten-mile gallery trail. It is recommended that tourists with good physical strength and who want to see more scenery choose the trail.
