The Laojie Ridge Scenic Tourism Area is located in the northeastern part of Xixia County, at the intersection of Nanyang and Luoyang. Consisting of the 4A-level Laojie Ridge Scenic Area and the 4-star Laojie Ridge Summer Resort, it is one of the core areas of the Funiu Mountain Geological Park. The Laojie Ridge Scenic Area has three major natural landscapes: Qifeng, Qishi and Qishu. The scenic area's main peak Jijiaojian is also the main peak of Funiu Mountain and one of the highest peaks of the Central Plains. Along with being Funiu Mountain's main peak, Laojie Ridge is also the east-west watershed dividing line of China's mountain ranges, the north-south climate transition zone and the Yangtze River-Yellow River boundary line. This is why, ever since ancient times, it has been known as the Old Boundary.

Show More ReviewsThe entrance fee is indeed cheap, only one yuan during the promotion. The scenery is decent but has a unique, niche appeal. It's a bit of an exaggeration to call it a 5A-level scenic spot. Although there's a promotional discount on the entrance fee, the cost of the sightseeing bus and cable car is clearly too high for this attraction, and various other attractions inside are also overpriced, around thirty yuan.
