🎧  Listen to Introduction

The temples along the Taoist Cultural Zone of the Laojun Temple Fair on April 8th have a long history. There is a saying that "there is the Wudang Golden Summit in the south and the Laojun Iron Summit in the north" on the top of the Laojun Temple. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, there are groups of pilgrims who worship the Laojun Temple. The Laojun Temple Fair on April 8th is crowded with people. 1. Hiking nearly three kilometers on a plateau with an altitude of two or three thousand meters is a test of our physical strength. 2. The incense in Laojun Cave is very prosperous. A group of believers and good women pray there, frequently beating stone drums, making bursts of roars, and conveying their expectations and blessings for the future. You can go there to burn incense. 3. The snow scene in Shangluo Laojun Mountain is very beautiful in winter, but pay attention to safety. Sometimes the mountain is relatively high and the snow is relatively heavy.
