How to play Laoshan Mountain in Qingdao?

Laoshan has many scenic spots and many routes to choose from. The following small series will tell you about some routes that will be used when playing in Laoshan, all of which are classic. Let's take a look.

Introduction of various tourist areas

1. Route of Liu Qing Tourist Area: None, free entry.

Strictly speaking, Liu Qing is not a tourist area, and there are no scenic spots here. At present, there are mostly farmhouses and inns in this area. There is also Liu Qing Bay Beach to play. There are no tickets in Liu Qing District, and everyone can enter freely. PS: Liu Qing Beach is the most concentrated area of Laoshan B&B, which is close to the urban area and the beach is relatively large. Visitors who consider living near Laoshan can focus on this area!

2. Taiqing Tourist Area-the location of Taoist Taiqing Palace

Line ownership: south line

There are many projects in Taiqing Palace Tourist Area, mainly Taiqing Palace and Bashui River (which can directly reach Shangqing Palace and Mingxia Cave; Due to the frequent drought in Qingdao in recent years, the water volume of Longtan Waterfall, the main scenic spot of Bashui River, is extremely unstable. The so-called waterfall, unless there is enough rain in the rainy season, is only a stream flowing down the rock wall most of the time, so it is difficult to call it a waterfall.

Shangqing Palace and Mingxia Cave are two small Taoist temples in Laoshan Mountain, and there is not much demand for visits. As the most important representative of the famous Taoist mountain Laoshan, Taiqing Palace is worth visiting both in scale and connotation. Taiqing Palace is not only a visit to a Taoist temple, but also the surrounding natural scenery is one of the most representative places in Laoshan Mountain.

3. Qipanshi Tourist Area-the location of Huayan Temple

Line ownership: south line

A typical Buddhist tourist area, the main attraction is Huayan Temple, a Buddhist temple. Because Huayan Temple is located in the necessary position of road traffic between Yangkou and Taiqing Palace, there are also some tourists. However, the popularity here is relatively low for two reasons:

First of all, Laoshan Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain. There used to be a Buddhist temple in history, but it didn't have a great influence. At present, the main buildings of Huayan Temple are basically rebuilt after the 1990s, lacking historical details. In short, Buddhism has little influence on Laoshan Mountain. Secondly, there are too many temples all over the country, and more tourists are not interested in visiting famous temples except those who believe in Buddhism.

4. Yangkou Tourist Area-the tourist area with the largest passenger flow in Laoshan in recent years, where the landscape of mountains and seas is perfectly integrated.

Line ownership: south line. Yangkou is special, belonging to a part of the southern line (Yangkou+Taiqing is the southern line, and the tickets include the scenic bus, but tickets are sold independently (only Yangkou can be played, but the scenic bus is not included, and the tickets are cheap in 40 yuan. If you only play Yangkou (tourists who are pressed for time or need to climb easily can consider playing Yangkou only, which is commonly called the eastern route).

Yangkou is one of the core scenic spots in Laoshan Mountain, with an altitude of 800 meters, which is suitable for mountain climbing. At the foot of the mountain is Yangkou Bay, which can be regarded as one of the most perfect scenic spots in the whole Laoshan Mountain (when the weather is good, Jufeng is also an invincible seascape. There are also beautiful rocks, such as Lion Peak, Tianmidong and Shouzi Peak. Besides climbing mountains, you can also enjoy many scenery along the way.

5. Beijiushui Tourist Area-the favorite of local people, with eighteen lakes and nine waters and gurgling streams.

Line ownership: north line.

Beijiushui is located on the north side of Laoshan Mountain, and the landscape is dominated by the gurgling of mountains and streams. Beijiushui is called eighteen lakes and nine waters. Water quantity has a great influence on the landscape. The best tourist season is summer rainfall, and you can reach Yin Chao Falls along the current. When it is hot in summer, the scenic spot is like a big central air conditioner, which is very pleasant to visit, especially suitable for children to play.

6. Jufeng tourist area-the highest altitude in Laoshan!

Line ownership: center line.

Giant Peak is the main peak of Laoshan Mountain, with the highest altitude. As one of the core scenic spots in Laoshan, the ticket for Jufeng is also the most expensive in a single scenic spot in Laoshan. Although the Giant Peak is high, if you buy a cableway and mix it up and down, the actual climbing process is quite easy. Climb to the top, and if the weather is right, the mountains and seas in the distance are connected. Compared with the mountain and sea landscape of Yangkou, you really feel what is magnificent!

Three regular sightseeing routes in Laoshan Mountain 1. Southern Line-Classic Sightseeing Route

Liu Qing Tourist Area Taiqing Tourist Area Qipanshi Tourist Area Yangkou Tourist Area Ticket Price: Off-season 100 yuan (60 yuan ticket 40 yuan sightseeing bus; Peak season 130 yuan (90 yuan tickets 40 yuan sightseeing bus.

Transportation: Take buses 104 and 304 in downtown Qingdao, 304 around the railway station and near the municipal government, and 104 near the municipal government. Get off at Dahedong Customer Service Center Station (the same ticketing center as the central line).

Line advantages:

At present, the southern route is the most conventional mode of travel. This route has mountains and seas, temples and Taoist temples, which can be said to be a tour route with the richest tourism resources. You can buy your own ticket to visit the city through Dahedong Customer Service Center, which is also the closest place to the city in terms of transportation. It is very convenient to get to the core of the city within 0.5 hours by bus/kloc-0.

Line disadvantages:

1. In order to avoid the traffic jam in the neighboring village in the middle section from Yangkou to Taiqing Palace, the scenic spot adopts two-stage traffic operation most of the time, which cuts off the smooth traffic between Yangkou and Taiqing Palace. If you play by yourself, you can only take the bus temporarily in the middle, which is very inconvenient.

2. In the peak season (July/August), there are many people queuing at Yangkou cableway and Tianmiao Cave.

During the peak tourist season, there are a lot of tourists at Yangkou, and the open ropeway can only take two people in each basket, so the capacity is insufficient, so in summer, Yangkou queues almost all day (arriving at Yangkou before 8: 00 in the morning can basically avoid the queue peak. Not to mention, the most attractive thing for tourists at Yangkou is the cave for finding heaven (a cave naturally formed by a single falling rock). It's opaque inside. Visitors must use their hands and feet when passing through, and only one person can pass through. This queue usually takes about 65,438+0 hours to pass. Above two points, ropeway and queuing for holes are the biggest problems in Yangkou peak season.

2. Northern Line (Beijiushui Tourist Area-a relatively easy route with flat terrain)

Tickets: off-season 70 yuan (40 yuan tickets 30 yuan sightseeing bus; 95 yuan in peak season (tickets to 65 yuan, sightseeing bus, 30 yuan.

Transportation: Get off at the subway 1 1 line Beijiushui Station. No.365 and No.619 in downtown Qingdao (take No.365 on Lijin Road in Taidong and No.619 on Wolong Village Station in downtown East Bus Station). It takes a long time to drive, so you usually have to change buses.

Line advantages:

1. Beijiushui is relatively flat with a small slope, which is suitable for the elderly, children or tourists who like to climb mountains easily.

2. When there is enough water in the rainy season, the rivers and streams in North Kowloon are intertwined and waterfalls are in the air. When there are not many people, you can also play in the water, which is full of fun. In hot summer, the scenic spot is cool and pleasant.

Line disadvantages:

1. The beauty of North Kowloon lies in water, and the beauty lies in water. Usually, after the rainy season comes in July and August, the water quantity is ok, but it is not stable in other seasons. It is recommended to confirm the amount of water in the scenic spot before playing.

2. I can't see the sea. It is also the starting point of many people. Since Laoshan is a famous mountain on the sea, it is inevitable that you can't even see the sea. Beijiushui is in the foothills on the north side of the main peak of Laoshan Mountain. The scenic spots and the sea are blocked by the peaks, and there is no sea at all.

3. Central Line (Jufeng Tourist Area-Laoshan Peak Route)

Tickets: off-season 90 yuan (50 yuan tickets 40 yuan sightseeing bus; Peak season 120 yuan (80 yuan tickets 40 yuan sightseeing bus.

Transportation: Take buses 104 and 304 in downtown Qingdao, 304 around the railway station and near the municipal government, and 104 near the municipal government. Get off at Dahedong Customer Service Center Station (the same customer service ticketing center as the south line).

Line advantages:

1. The top of Laoshan Mountain is the highest point of the motherland's coastline. The original goal of climbing a mountain is actually to reach the top. Whether the mountain is hard or not, and how the scenery is along the way, they all look like dwarfs in the world at the moment when they climb to other peaks. It is just an embellishment of the satisfaction of the success of the summit.

2. The mountains and seas are magnificent. The coastline of Laoshan Mountain reaches more than 800 kilometers, and there are many places to see the sea. Yangkou, Taiqing and Jufeng are the three most important places. Too clear to see the sea, just in front of you, the sea in Taiqing Bay is rippling, surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side. The sea here is more like a backdrop of mountains, forming a quiet and long picture; Looking up at the sea, the height is not high or short, but it is within reach, not like looking down, but more like brushing your eyes. The two ends of the mountain and the sea are connected together and you can't tell the boundaries; As for the Giant Peak, on Lingqi Peak, facing the sea, the sea is far ahead. The blue sea and the mountains with different heights are clearly defined, and the overall picture is seamless. The line of sight is extremely wide, and the heart will really be shocked by the beautiful scenery. This kind of shock is completely different from the graceful beauty and calm beauty of Taiqing Yangkou, a magnificent beauty that you don't need to bother to decorate with words after reading it. This is the Giant Peak.

Line disadvantages:

1. The only disadvantage of Jufeng is that it is designated as a tour route separately, and the tickets are independent. Therefore, although it enjoys the wonderful beauty of the blue sea and blue sky of Laoshan Mountain, it lacks cultural landscapes such as Taoist temples. Although the so-called Taoist Baguamen and other Taoist elements have been set up in the scenic spot during the mountaineering, it is still impossible to visit Laoshan Mountain as a famous Taoist mountain and feel the cultural connotation of Taoism.

5. Tickets for children under1.4m are free, sightseeing tickets are free, and ropeways are free.

Cross-line tourism

As an old driver, we have concluded that tourists' demand for Laoshan scenic spots is mainly divided into two types:

1. I love natural landscapes, but I am not interested in Taoist temples and monasteries.

2. I like the natural landscape, but I am also interested in the Taoist culture of Laoshan Mountain, and I especially hope to go to Taiqing Palace to see the elegant demeanor of the Millennium Taoist temple.

For these two types of tourists, if we want to see the multi-line beauty of Laoshan in one day and let many scenic spots learn from each other's strengths, we have designed two unique cross-line tour modes. The focus of these two routes is different, so you can choose one of them according to your own interests. Although the route is not perfect, it makes up for the lack of landscape diversity in the conventional tourism mode to the greatest extent.

Option 1: the middle line+the south line is too clear-a collection of cultural beauty!

Jufeng Tourist Area+Taiqing Tourist Area

Area: Jufeng Tourist Area Taiqing Tourist Area

Advantages of the route: One-day tour of Laoding Jufeng and Millennium Taoist Temple perfectly combines the two core landscape resources of Laoshan Mountain, namely the famous seamount and the famous Taoist Mountain. And even in the tourist season, there are almost no risks such as traffic jams, queues and congestion.

Suitable for the crowd: interested in the top of the mountain and roads, physically suitable for tourists.

Transportation: Perfect. Jufeng and Taiqing Customer Service Ticketing Centers are located in Dahedong Customer Service Center, and urban areas 104 and 304 can be reached. Take a taxi to the city, starting from the farthest railway station, the distance is only 30 kilometers, and the fare is about 70 yuan.

During the tour, with Dahedong Customer Service Center as the center, the traffic in the scenic spot is very convenient to reach Jufeng and Taiqing Palace, avoiding the section of Huangshan Village in Qingshan Village, which is the most likely to cause traffic congestion in the southern line of the peak season, and the chance of affecting the efficiency of the tour is very small.

Tickets: for cross-line play, you can only buy the current three-day pass of Laoshan, or buy it separately. Pass is slightly cheaper, adult peak season 180 yuan/person, off season 120 yuan/person (the scenic tour bus needs to be purchased separately, 60 yuan/person, Taiqing Palace ticket 27 yuan;

Tips:

Dining suggestion: Bring your own snacks for lunch. There are also many places to eat in the scenic spot, especially KFC in Taiqing Palace! Of course, there is a farmhouse banquet in Laoshan, but there is no particularly familiar and reassuring choice, so it is not recommended to go.

Physical requirements: combine work and rest. Although the Giant Peak is high, there are cableways to choose from in the scenic area. The cableway reaches two-thirds of the mountain, and the rest of the road needs to be climbed by yourself. If you choose the round-trip cableway, 1.5 -2 hours is enough for climbing and downhill. For most people, there will be moderate fatigue, but it is basically within a reasonable and acceptable range. Taiqing Palace has no requirement for physical strength. Taiqing Palace is flat and there is no need to climb mountains.

Special reminder: When Kyoho climbs the mountain, there are two climbing routes to choose from after the ropeway arrives at the station. One is the Baguamen Ring Road, which is a circular uphill route. Although the scenery is a little more, it takes a long time and requires great physical strength. This climbing route is not recommended. The other is the mountain along the way, which is also the climbing route of 90% tourists. At the top of the mountain, you can reach the highest Lingqi peak and see the beautiful scenery of mountains and seas.

Recommended tour sequence: Departure from downtown-Arrive at Laoshan Dahedong Customer Service Center-Buy tickets-Take a bus to Jufeng Tourist Area-Start climbing (you can choose cableway or hiking-climb the peak-go down the mountain and return to Dahedong Customer Service Center-take a bus to Taiqing Tourist Area after lunch or rest-visit Taiqing Palace-Return to Dahedong Customer Service Center by bus-End your trip and return to downtown.

Option 2: Beijiushui+Nanyangkou-pure natural landscape!

Yangkou Tourist Area+Beijiushui Tourist Area

Region: Yangkou Tourist Area and Beijiushui Tourist Area.

Route advantage: excellent natural landscape. The landscape of Yangkou Mountain and Sea is perfectly matched with the beautiful scenery of two different styles, namely, the Qingshan Xiushui in the North Jiushui. Pure natural landscape, scenic spots have great autonomy. The mouth is not high, and there are many things to see on the way to climb; The water in Beijiu is very mild, and it is refreshing and pleasant while walking and playing.

Suitable for the crowd: tourists who are not interested in Taoism, want to experience the beautiful scenery of mountains and seas, have limited physical strength or tend to enjoy sightseeing.

Transportation: If you go by yourself, the transportation is very inconvenient. A one-day tour is recommended.

Yangkou, located at the easternmost tip of Laoshan Mountain, is the farthest place from the urban area among all the scenic spots in Laoshan Mountain. The Beijiushui subway 1 1 line can be reached, but the traffic convenience from Beijiushui to Yangkou is poor.

Tickets: 60 yuan in the off-season and 90 yuan in the peak season; There are cableways to choose from at Yangkou, one-way to 35 yuan and round trip to 60 yuan.

North Jiushui off-season tickets to 70 yuan (tickets to 40 yuan, 30 yuan, sightseeing bus, tickets to 95 yuan in peak season (tickets to 65 yuan, 30 yuan, sightseeing bus).

Tips:

Dining suggestion: Yangkou is only a stone's throw from Wanggezhuang Street. You can choose to bring your own snacks for lunch or eat in Wanggezhuang Street. There are many small restaurants such as noodle shops and ribs-rice. Hymn carefully choose the farmhouse banquet around the scenic spot.

Physical requirements: Physical requirements are flexible and can be controlled freely. If you have good physical strength, you can choose to climb the mountain on foot at Yangkou, and you can go to Zhu Wei Temple as far as Beijiushui, which can meet the demands of tourists with excellent physical strength. If the physical condition is average, or the elderly with children do not want to consume too much physical strength, Yangkou can choose a cableway. Because there are many pools in Beijiushui, and the tour route is to return by the same way, you can choose a suitable pool to rest and play with water.

Special reminder: during the peak season, the ropeway and Tianmiao Cave are prone to queuing, so if you choose this scheme for sightseeing, remember to go to Yangkou first in the morning, and the time should be early. Usually, the sheep's mouth will arrive before 8 am to avoid queuing.

Recommended tour sequence: starting from the urban area-arriving at Yangkou tourist area-you can choose cableway or hiking-after lunch or rest, take a bus to Beijiushui tourist area-buy tickets-take the scenic bus to Beijiushui-start the tour-end the tour and return by bus-return to the urban area by bus.
