Laojunshan Mountain Scenic Spot
AAnonymous UserLaojun Mountain is very beautiful and worth visiting. It is already a mature scenic spot. Shili Huaping, Yuhuangding, Liangbaotai, and Jinding Taoist Temple Group are all beautiful and worth seeing. In order to watch the sunset and the night lights of Jinding, it is best not to go up the mountain too early, otherwise the waiting time will be too long and too cold. There are relatively few places to rest, and the cleaning is not keeping up. There are too many beverage bottles thrown around, which have dirty the ground. Is there any water? Guidance is needed.
