Laojun Mountain night climbing does require a ticket, and it costs 100 yuan per person. Tourists can purchase tickets through the official platform, but they also need to make an appointment in advance. Let’s take a look at the specific ticket prices and related strategies.
Does Laojun Mountain require a ticket for night climbing?
It does.
Night Climbing Fees
Ticket: 100 yuan per person, all primary and secondary school students with student ID cards, student information, etc., can enjoy free admission before August 31, 2022.
Cable car: There is no need to take the cable car up the mountain for night climbing. The cable car is not operational at night. You can choose to take the cable car down the mountain. The Fenglin cable car (from the entrance of the Ten-Mile Painting Screen to the Middle Heaven Gate) costs 40 yuan per person for a single descent, and the Yunjing and Zhongling cable car (from the Middle Heaven Gate to the foot of the mountain) costs 65 yuan per person for a single descent.
Night Climbing Reservation Process
The night climbing channel opens at 10:30 PM, and the night climbing reservation and ticket checking time is from 10:30 PM to 11:30 PM (after 11:30 PM, the scenic area will close the channel and stop ticket checking).
Before entering the park, you need to have your ticket checked at the ticket gate, and then go to the (Lingguan Temple, Erdao Gang) area for night climbing entry. The night climbing channel is 23.7 kilometers long and takes 5-7 hours to reach the summit on foot. There are service areas and shops along the way for tourists to rest and replenish their energy.
Night climbers need to make an appointment and purchase tickets for Laojun Mountain in advance through the scenic area’s WeChat public account, Meituan, Ctrip, etc. (free admission groups can enter directly with relevant documents and do not need to exchange tickets); then follow the WeChat public account “Laojun Mountain Scenic Area” to make a “hiking reservation”.
Night Climbing Equipment
Backpack: Prepare a backpack for carrying your belongings.
Outerwear: Bring an extra long-sleeved jacket for warmth when climbing in the latter half of the night and waiting for sunrise at the top of the mountain (you can rent cotton-padded jackets along the way and at the top of the mountain).
Flashlight: There is little light on Laojun Mountain at night, so it is recommended to bring a flashlight for climbing.
Hiking stick: This is very helpful for people who are not physically fit. It can also reduce the pressure on your knees.
Water, food: Climbing on foot requires a lot of energy, so food and water are essential. You can bring your own or buy them at service areas and shops along the way.
Power bank: Night climbing takes 5-7 hours, so bring a power bank just in case.
