What people are saying:
Laoye Mountain is also called Yuanshuo Mountain. There is Taiyuan Palace on the top of the mountain, which is also known as Guandi Temple. This is also the origin of Laoye Mountain. The southern slope of Laoye Mountain is a must-see because the main rock mass here is Limestone has been eroded and weathered by flowing water for a long time, forming many strange peaks, caves and canyons. Climbing upwards from the southern slope is somewhat similar to the thrill of Huashan.

Laoye Mountain is a mountain peak in Ma'an Mountain. It is located by the Beichuan River on the east side of Qiaotou Town, Datong County. It is a major mountain in the middle of Datong, covering an area of about 2.5 square kilometers. Because of the original Taiyuan Palace (ie Guandi Temple) on the top of the mountain, it is commonly known as "Laoye Mountain", also known as "Yuanshuo Mountain" and "North Wudang". It is one of the most majestic and scenic peaks near Xining. The mountain is in the northwest-southeast direction, with great height difference. The main peak is 2928 meters above sea level and the relative height is 486.5 meters.
On the top of Laoye Mountain is the Taiyuan Palace, which is also known as the Guandi Temple. This is also the origin of Laoye Mountain. The southern slope of Laoye Mountain is a must-see place. Because the main rock mass here is limestone, it has been eroded by flowing water for a long time. The weathering has formed many strange peaks, caves and gorges, climbing up from the southern slope, somewhat similar to the thrill of Huashan.
Laoye Mountain is not considered high in the distance, but it is really climbing. After climbing to the top of the mountain and looking down, I found that Laoye Mountain is really high. People with fear of heights really dare not go up. But climbing to the top of the mountain and looking down at the scenery is really super nice. Tickets are not too expensive. Students are half price and it is worth visiting. The rivers and mountains are great, go for a walk, how great!
It is steep, challenging, and the scenery is very good. The back mountain is full of trees and wildflowers. You can see the panoramic view of Datong on the mountain, and you can also overlook the Niangniang Mountain and the Ming Great Wall. It is a good place to go. The timid can go from the back mountain, the front mountain is a good choice, but you need to pay attention to safety when taking pictures. The cleaners work hard and hope that tourists pay attention to their personal qualities.
