Fanjing Mountain
Fanjing Mountain is located in Tongren, northeastern Guizhou province, with an elevation of 2,572 m. As the highest peak of the Wuling Mountains, it is a member of the UNESCO "Man and Biosphere" program, a World Natural Heritage site, and a national 5A-level tourist attraction. The Mount Fanjing Biosphere Reserve covers a total area of 428.63 km². The mountain is characterized by its pristine wilderness, majestic peaks, layered ridges, crisscrossing streams, and cascading waterfalls. Its iconic attractions include the Red Clouds Golden Summit, Yuejing Mountain, the 10,000-meter Sleeping Buddha, Mushroom Rock, the Ten Thousand Scrolls of Scriptures, Jiulong Pool, and Phoenix Mountain. Mount fanjing was originally named "three valleys", derived from "pure land of brahma". The buddhism here originated in the tang dynasty and flourished in the ming dynasty, making it a historic buddhist mountain. Additionally, mount fanjing boasts abundant wildlife resources, including rare species such as the guizhou golden monkey and dove tree. Mount Fanjing is the main peak of the Wuling mountain range, located at the junction of Jiangkou, Yinjiang, and Songtao counties. With its massive and majestic form reaching into the clouds, it was revered as the ancestor of famous mountains as early as the beginning of the Ming dynasty and is a renowned Buddhist sacred site. Additionally, Mount Fanjing boasts vast areas for viewing red leaves. Every fall, the layered forests are dyed in vibrant hues, with the red leaves complementing the mountain temples. Here, you can take a cable car to overlook the endless stretches of red foliage or stroll along the mountain paths, surrounded by fiery red leaves on both sides and above. The red cloud golden summit is the core of Foshan. The two temples standing majestically on the peak, with two buddhas presiding, create an infinite dharma realm. This masterpiece of the Southern Song Dynasty's White Lotus Society in constructing a "pure land on earth" is a miracle in the history of Buddhist development on famous mountains. Take the sightseeing bus from the attraction entrance to the cableway, then ride the cableway up and walk straight to the top to see the famous "mushroom stone." True to its name, it has a large top and a small base, resembling a mushroom, standing approx. 10 m tall and having been on the mountain for 1 billion years. To the left of the mountaintop is the red golden cloud summit, and to the right is the old golden summit, both incredibly spectacular.Jiangkou · 23.5km from downtown

Yunshe Scenic Area
Yunshe Scenic Areais an ancient Tujia village nestled at the foot of Fanjing Mountain and along the banks of the Taiping River. Legend has it that the name "Yunshe" means "houses in the clouds, a place where immortals dwell." Over 90% of the villagers are Tujia people with the last name Yang, and they still preserve their traditional customs and vibrant daily life. Many tourists visit here after climbing Fanjing Mountain to take a stroll, enjoy a farmhouse meal, and experience the slow pace of life in a mountain village. Shenlong Pool is the village's signature view, also known as Yunshe Spring. It is formed by spring water gushing from an underground river outlet, and the pool water is deep blue and crystal clear. Locals have long used the rise and fall of the pool's water level to predict the weather: a rising water level often predicts rain, while a falling level often indicates clear skies. This phenomenon is generally explained by underground pressurized water changing with atmospheric pressure. There is also an old legend in the village that even a long rope tied to a stone cannot reach the bottom of the pool, adding a touch of mystery to the water. After gushing out, the spring water winds around the village and flows into the Taiping River after a short distance. Set against ancient waterwheels and boardwalks along the water, every snapshot looks like a painting. Most of the old houses in the village are Tujia courtyards known as "barrel houses," featuring brick-and-wood structures with high fire-blocking walls on all four sides. The courtyards are paved with bluestone slabs, the stone piers at the eaves are carved with reliefs, and openwork wood carvings are commonly seen on window lattices and railings. One of these houses has been renovated into a nostalgia museum, displaying Tujia clothing, food, and wedding customs. Yunshe was once a famous papermaking village, and the ancient papermaking techniques have been passed down to this day. In the workshops, you can see the traditional processes of paper making and drying, and the handmade paper is even crafted into creative products like desk lamps and notebooks. To enter the village, you first cross the Wind and Rain Bridge and then pass through a stone archway engraved with the village's name. Villagers dressed in Tujia attire often welcome guests with gate-blocking wine and folk songs, and you can often encounter Tujia song and dance performances like the Hand-Waving Dance and the Money Stick Dance. The stone-paved alleys in the village crisscross like a maze and are worth exploring at a leisurely pace.Jiangkou · 5.2km from downtown
Hongyun Golden Peak
The Red Cloud Golden Peak is located in the Fanjing Mountain Scenic Area. It is 94 meters high and steep, like a huge stone pillar rising from the ground. It faces the Moon Mirror Mountain from north to south, forming a confrontation between two peaks, and the scenery is extremely spectacular. The Golden Peak is surrounded by a deep ravine, and it looks like a jade bamboo shoot piercing the sky when viewed from a distance of a hundred miles. The top of the peak is often surrounded by clouds and mist. Under the sunshine, the clouds are brilliant and gorgeous, so it is called "Red Cloud Golden Peak", which is a homophonic sound of "Hongyun Golden Peak".Jiangkou · 27km from downtown
Mushroom Stone
The name of the Mushroom Rock on Mount Fanjing is just like its image, which is big on the top and small on the bottom, just like a mushroom. It is about ten meters high, graceful and looks like it will fall at any moment, but it is actually motionless (it has been swaying in the wind, frost, rain and snow for more than 1 billion years). The Mushroom Rock is a unique magical realist classic sculpture of the Creator. Many painters and photographers have used it as a subject to create countless artistic masterpieces. In addition, the Mushroom Rock is the intersection of the main attractions on Mount Fanjing: standing here, you can overlook the surrounding mountains, take a close look at the Old Golden Summit and the Red Cloud Golden Summit, the Buddha Worship Platform, the Pudu Square, and the Nine Emperor Caves, and you can also get close to the Mushroom Rock and the Fantian Seal and take photos.Jiangkou · 27.1km from downtown

A very nice guesthouse, about 700 meters from the East Gate of Fanjingshan, a 10-minute walk. Parking is convenient. The rooms are clean, and the windows offer a quiet view of the woods. The receptionist and housekeeping staff are very polite and responsible. Breakfast is included, so you don't have to look for food elsewhere; the food is also delicious.

Walking along the ravine in the scenic area, you can see incredibly clear emerald water. The valley is bursting with negative oxygen ions, and the temperature is very comfortable. In summer, it's advisable to bring a pair of shoes suitable for stream tracing; soaking your feet in the water would be a wonderful experience. Climbing up from the bottom of the ravine to see the sacred tree of Yamu involves over 700 steps, which is quite challenging, so be sure to conserve your energy. You can visit the Ming Dynasty Ancient Courtyard, and then take a bus back. The entire trip takes about 2 hours.

A very beautiful place. However, I had an experience that I have to share. I fell down in there. In fact, exactly near the small river (my 1st picture). I was taking photos for my wife, and suddenly I was in the water. I sprained myself. The fruitseller was very helpful to help me back up and found my phone in the water. After I was up, my wife also almost slipped, and another person afterwards also almost slipped. The floor is just too much moist and slippery. I hope the management look into that area. So please be very careful. The place itself is amazing. I walked for almost an hour, and I love it. The simple life of the people, the surrounding mountains, the old buildings and the farms. All look peaceful and relaxing to walk around..I recommend a visit but just be careful when walking.

Entering the gate of the Dong Village, it is like entering a simple and primitive town in the south of the Yangtze River, or a mountain village. (Also known as the mountain village) This Dongjia world hidden in the shade of green trees is like a phantom in front of you. Wandering along the zigzag bluestone road, after a hundred steps, you will suddenly see a circular square like a peacock spreading its tail. In one corner of the square stands a landmark building of the Dong Village - the bell and drum tower. Next to the bell and drum tower is a precious nanmu that has stood for hundreds of years, old and vigorous. The scenery is unique.

The cableway is very long, about 20 minutes, and I feel a little dizzy when I sit there, but it is really high. Fanjing Mountain is very beautiful. It is worthy of being called the City in the Sky. This season is very suitable for visiting Fanjing Mountain.

Cheng'en Temple is located on Moshikou Street, Shijingshan District, Beijing. It was built in the fifth year of the Zhengde reign of the Ming Dynasty and completed in the eighth year. It was built by Wen Xiang, a eunuch of the Imperial Household Department, and named by Emperor Wuzong Zhu Houzhao. It has the mystery of "three no's", that is, it does not open the temple door, does not accept incense, and does not set up a Taoist temple. There are five unique features in the temple: the Mounting Stone, the Bell and Drum Tower, the Diaolou, the murals, and the Herringbone Cypress. It is now the Yanjing Eight Unique Features Museum.

Fanjingshan's "One Line of Sky" is also known as the "Golden Knife Gorge", which is a crack that divides the Golden Summit into two parts, connected by a sky bridge. One side enshrines Maitreya Buddha, and the other side enshrines Sakyamuni Buddha. The route to climb the Golden Summit is very narrow, so you need to pay attention to safety.
