Stairway to the Sky: My Thrilling Day at Tianmenshan

Don't overwhelm the celebrity hotspots on 11th! This "treasure mountain" in Dalian hides a lot of gold and autumn. 90% of people have played it wrong! 🍂
 
The "Lao Mo Shan Scenic Area" discovered this time can definitely satisfy you! There are both layers of forest-stained autumn scenery, and you can have fun in the mountains and wilderness. The point is that there are few people, beautiful scenery and good photography. This nanny-level strategy quickly closes, 11 directly rush ~🚗
 
Where is the "treasure" of Lao Mo Shan? Don’t miss these features! ✨
 
As the "second peak" in Dalian, the autumn of Lao Mao Shan is simply God's overturning of the palette. Everywhere is worth walking slowly:
 
- Autumn limited color forest: October's Lao Mao Mountain, maple leaf red, ginkgo yellow, pine needle green intertwined together, walking on the hiking trail, like breaking into a fairy tale world, the wind will also fall "colored carpet", step on the rustling sound super healing ~
- Summit panoramic view: Climb to the main peak of 848 meters above sea level, you can 360 ° overlooking the mountain scenery of northern Dalian, when the weather is good, you can also see the distant villages and coastline, when the clouds are low like standing in the "clouds", casual photos are atmosphere blockbuster!
- Small mountain fun: In the scenic area, not only can climb mountains, but also "mountain streams" can tread water (remember to bring a pair of non-slip shoes), "forest wooden canyons" suitable for walking, along the way there are wild chestnut trees (do not pick randomly), bring children to have fun ~
 
Go to Lao Mo Shan on 2nd and 11th. The 1-day trip itinerary is arranged so smoothly! ⏰
 
[Morning: Relax climbing, take pictures of the beautiful scenery along the way]
 
- 08:30-09:00 Arrive at the scenic spot: It is recommended to leave early to avoid the crowds. There is a parking lot at the entrance of the scenic spot ($10/day).
- 09:00-11:30 Climbing and Viewing: It is recommended to walk the "Main Trail" (about 3.5 kilometers, moderate difficulty, elderly and children can walk).
1. Maple Valley: Autumn full valley maple trees super red, standing on the observation deck to take "people in the red leaves" photos, wearing light clothes (white, beige) easier to take beautiful photos, remember to squat up to take pictures, can avoid the crowd and show long legs ~
2. Sea View Pavilion: The view of the pavilion halfway up the mountain is super good, you can see the colorful forest and stream in the valley, suitable for taking "side view" atmosphere photos, when the wind is strong to ask friends to capture the moment of hair fluttering, super agile!
3. A line of sky: The narrow gap between the rocks is super characteristic. Standing in the middle of the seam, you can take a close-up of "looking up at the sky."
 
[Noon: Eat authentic farm food around the scenic area]
 
I was just hungry after hiking. There are 3-4 farmhouse restaurants at the entrance of the scenic spot. It is recommended to order these local dishes:
 
- Iron pot stewed goose: the ready-to-eat goose stewed until soft and seasoned, sticking a circle of corn tortillas to absorb the soup, fragrant to lick the plate!
- Scrambled eggs with wild vegetables: using fern picked up in the mountains, grandmother's ding, refreshing and refreshing, with rice super good ~
- Fried pecans: local specialty pecans, fried especially fragrant, and can be taken away as a snack ~
50-60 dollars per person can eat full, the portion is super plentiful, remember to ask in advance if you can do slightly spicy, take care of children's taste ~
 
[Afternoon: Panoramic view from the summit + hike down the hill to a small spot]
 
- 13:30-14:30 Climbing to the top to take a big shot: Soft light in the afternoon, suitable for taking panoramic views of the summit, 2 recommended photo spots:
1. Main Peak Observation Deck: Stand next to the "Main Peak of Lao Mao Shan" stone monument, with the mountains in the distance as the background, open your hands to take "embracing nature" photos, remember to ask your friends to stand down and frame the sky and mountains ~
2. Cliffside wooden canyon: Canyon suspended on the hillside, walking sideways, ask a friend to capture from the slanted rear, can take pictures of "walking in the clouds" suspension, wearing a long dress floating in the wind easier to take beautiful pictures!
- 15:00-16:30 Downhill and streaming: If you still have enough physical strength, you can walk down the hill to walk the "stream trail", step on the rocks in the shallow water (note non-slip), take "playing in the water and playing" life photos, capture when the water splashes, super energetic ~
- 17:00 Return / to the surrounding scenic spots: down the mountain around 5pm, just in time to catch the sunset, the roadside near the parking lot can take pictures of "mountains under the sunset", a photo is a gentle autumn atmosphere ~
 
Third, transportation + accommodation strategy, beginners can easily get it! 🚗🏨
 
[Transportation Guide: Self-driving is the most convenient, buses are there]
 
- Driving: Navigate the "Dalian Lao Mao Mountain Scenic Area", about 1.5 hours drive from Dalian city (take the Shenhai Expressway to the Pilong Expressway, get off the expressway and then take the rural road, the road condition is good), Eleven is recommended to start early to avoid high-speed traffic jams.
- Bus: Dalian North Station take the "Dalian-Pulan Store" long-distance bus (about 1 hour, 25 yuan / person), to the Puland Store bus station and change to the "Plan Store-Old Mao Mountain" country bus (about 40 minutes, 10 yuan / person)
 
[Accommodation recommendation: If you want to stay one night, see here! 】
 
If you want to play for another day, we recommend these 3 good value accommodations, close to the scenic spot and clean:
 
1. Lao Mao Shan Shan Li Renjia B&B: Just 500 meters from the entrance of the scenic spot, there is a farmhouse fire room and a standard room, you can watch the stars at night, the boss can also cook farmhouse dishes, per person 120-150 dollars / night.
2. Puland Store Kimpu International Hotel: In the city of Puland Store (about 30 minutes drive from the scenic spot), the hotel environment is good, there is breakfast, suitable for friends who want to stay more comfortable, 200-250 dollars / night per person.
3. Dalian Anbo Hongyuan Hot Spring Resort: If you want to relax in a hot spring, this is about 40 minutes drive from Lao Mao Mountain, with outdoor hot springs and holiday rooms, suitable for bringing family, 300-400 yuan/night per person (including hot spring tickets).
 
Four, 5 treasure scenic spots around Lao Mao Shan, play enough along the way! 🗺️

3. Biliu River Reservoir: Dalian's "big water tank", the autumn scenery around the reservoir is super beautiful, you can walk along the lake, and you can take a boat tour of the lake (30 dollars / person), take "lake light and mountains" blockbuster super good ~
4. Pulandian Qingquan Temple: a thousand-year-old temple, hidden in the mountains and forests, the temple architecture is very characteristic, autumn red maple with the ancient temple, photographed very Zen, open for free ~
5. Dalian Camel Mountain Waterfront Forest Park: 1 hour drive from Lao Mao Mountain, you can see the mountains and the sea, with golden beaches and peculiar rocky landscape, suitable for the last day to end by the sea, blowing the sea breeze super relaxing ~
