Mount Laojun is really, really, really beautiful

Mount Laojun, known as the 'unparalleled holy land under heaven, the world's number one fairy mountain', originally named Jing Shi Mountain, is located three thousand meters southeast of Luanchuan County, Luoyang. It is the longest mountain range in Taoism. During the Spring and Autumn period, Laozi Li Er once retired here for cultivation, making it a 'source of Tao' and 'ancestral court'. There are 6 scenic areas in Mount Laojun, with 179 scenic spots and 16 temples. In addition, more than 3,000 acres of stone forest landscape on the south side of Ma Mane Ridge are open to tourists, known as the 'Northern Stone Forest'. Mount Laojun is not only a natural landscape, but also an outstanding representative of the Central Plains mountain and water culture. It is now a world geological park, a national AAAAA level tourist attraction, a national geological park, a national nature reserve, a provincial key cultural relics protection unit and a provincial scenic spot. At the same time, Mount Laojun is also a holy place for Taoist believers in northern China. In 2014, the statue of Laozi on Mount Laojun was recorded by the World Guinness Headquarters as the 'World's Tallest Laozi Statue'. It is also a popular filming location for many TV dramas, such as 'Zhu Xian·Qing Yun Zhi' and 'Tian Yi·The Legend of the Heavenly Emperor' were filmed here. What aspect of Mount Laojun are you most interested in? Is it its natural scenery, historical culture, or Taoist beliefs?
