The natural landscape of Laojun Mountain - the ten-mile painting screen, is as if cut by a knife or an axe, with jagged edges, covered in green and red, majestic and colorful. Within the peaks and forests, there is a new scene with every step, and each scene is like a painting. Since the Laojun Mountain granite body is composed of "porphyritic biotite monzogranite", it is a granite body formed during the Qinling orogeny between 140 and 180 million years ago and was named "Laojun Mountain granite body" by domestic geological experts. Recommend everyone to visit.

Speed and passion: The first feeling that the Zhongling Cableway gave me was “fast”! It's really fast, as if it took us to the top of the mountain in an instant, giving me a feeling of traveling through time and space with a broad vision: sitting on the Zhongling Cableway, you can see the beautiful scenery of the entire mountain range. I felt like a flying bird, looking down at the earth freely. 🌄.
