The best viewing spot for the sea of clouds at Laojun Mountain

My first visit to Laojun Mountain was absolutely stunning! 😍 After hiking for 3 hours, the beautiful scenery along the way made it totally worth it! ✨ Standing at the 2217-meter peak, with the sea of clouds rolling before my eyes, I truly understood what it means to "look down on all other mountains." 🏔️ Recommended best viewing times: 🌅 Sunrise: 5:30-6:00 (suggest arriving at the Golden Summit before 5:00) 🌇 Dusk: 17:30-18:30 (I happened to catch this time) ☁️ Sea of clouds season: Best from October to April of the following year Must-visit spots: 1️⃣ Golden Summit Taoist Temples (altitude 2217 meters) 2️⃣ Jade Emperor Peak Viewing Platform (best spot for sea of clouds photos) 3️⃣ Ten-Mile Painted Screen (most beautiful sea of clouds trail) Practical information: 📍 Address: Luanchuan County, Luoyang City, Henan Province ⏰ Opening hours: 7:00-18:00 💰 Ticket price: 100 RMB (cable car charged separately) Tips: ✔️ Bring a jacket, as the temperature difference at the summit is large ✔️ Wear non-slip shoes, some sections are steep ✔️ Bring some snacks and water to replenish energy ✔️ Check the weather forecast in advance; cloudy or rainy days may block the sea of clouds view
