Laojun Mountain is a national geological park and is known as the "ancestor of mountains in Yunnan Province". Taishang Laojun, the founder of Taoism, got its name from the place where he made elixirs. The TV series "The Adventure of Finding Love" was filmed here. Laojun Mountain is famous for its beautiful peaks, dense forests, secluded paths and strange caves. In the lush mountain forest, "hanging springs and waterfalls are flying among them". The mountain has unique "sliding peak forest" landforms, stone forest scenic spots and other landscape groups, which are very shocking and spectacular! If you go to the top of the mountain, you will also have the opportunity to see the beautiful sea of ??clouds and sunrise. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you bring your parents here to play.
