📸Must-Photo Spots

✅ Golden Summit Taoist Temple Complex: The combination of red walls, white snow, and glazed tiles is stunning. Shoot during lighting time from 17:50-18:30 for full atmosphere. A drone panoramic shot is even more spectacular.

✅ Ten-Mile Ice Screen: After snow, the plank road is lined with icicles. Every casual shot during the hike looks like an ink painting. Remember to take the wooden stairs to save effort.

✅ Mazong Ridge: The highest point of Laojun Mountain, perfect for sunrise shots. The moment golden light spills on the snowy Golden Hall is breathtaking.

✅ Laozi Cultural Garden: The 12-meter-high bronze statue of Laozi covered in snow is full of aura. Wearing Hanfu for photos instantly turns you into the heroine of a fantasy drama.

⚠️Important Notes

✅ Best time: November to March next year, December-January has the thickest snow and highest chance of sea of clouds.

✅ Essential gear: Down jacket, hat, scarf, gloves are all must-haves. The summit is around -20°C. Be sure to buy anti-slip crampons (10 RMB/pair in the scenic area).

✅ Time control: Last cableway up by 15:30, stops running at 17:30. Don’t play too long and miss the descent time.

✅ Money-saving tips: Prices are high on the mountain, bring your own snacks and water. Wish plaques are sold at the foot of the mountain (5 RMB each), four times more expensive at the summit.

The romance of the snowy Golden Summit can only be truly appreciated by visiting! Winter is the perfect time to come to Laojun Mountain for this "Heavenly Palace appointment."
