In addition, there are strange landscapes such as 10,000 meters of sleeping Buddha and 10,000 volumes of scriptures. The meteorological landscape here is also amazing, with the four wonders of cloud waterfalls, Zen mist, Mirage, and Buddha light alternating.
Fanjing Mountain is the top priority of our trip to Guizhou. Before we travel, we looked forward to a good weather. It really lived up to expectations. The weather on the day we went was very sunny. Everyone was very smooth. Booking tickets on Trip.com is very convenient. We chose the official website of Fanjing Mountain. But in fact, it is also in Trip.com , it is best to choose your favorite time, enter the park a little earlier, we arrived at the bottom of the Red Yunjinding at 9 o'clock, you can go early without making an appointment, you can queue up directly to climb the mountain, the whole journey is very smooth, relatively steep place, It is about two or three floors high, a little climbing, a little basic, can lift legs, hand can pull, it should be a problem, we are very smooth to come up, there are two temples, everyone can worship, sunny scenery, very beautiful, and went to climb the old golden roof, but also quite smooth. The whole tour is about six hours, and the mountain is still very worth a visit.

Zhusha Ancient Town is located in Wanshan District, Tongren City, Guizhou Province. It is a mining leisure nostalgic town with the theme of mountain industrial civilization. It perfectly integrates historical culture, natural scenery and modern tourism elements, exuding a unique charm.
The following are some words of praise for it:
Profound historical and cultural heritage
• Long history of cinnabar mining and smelting: Wanshan is named for its abundant cinnabar. It has a history of cinnabar mining and smelting for more than 3,000 years. It is China's largest mercury industrial production base and is known as the "China Mercury Capital" and "Cinnabar Kingdom". Its mining history began in the Qin and Han Dynasties, flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and was included as a tribute to the dynasty. After the founding of New China, Wanshan cinnabar even undertook more than half of the debt repayment to the Soviet Union. Premier Zhou Enlai affectionately called it "patriotic mercury".
• Rich cultural relics: Thousands of years of mining history have created an underground mine tunnel as long as 970 kilometers, leaving behind a large number of cultural relics such as Heidongzi, Yunnan Ladder, Xianren Cave, Soviet Expert Building, Hunan-Guizhou Mercury Company, etc., becoming the most complete witness of China's mercury mining history.
The construction of the scenic spot is unique
• The principle of "repairing the old as it is": During the construction process, the scenic spot strictly followed the principle of "repairing the old as it is", completely preserved the miners' houses and Soviet-style buildings from the 1950s to the 1980s, restored the life scenes of that era, and allowed tourists to truly feel the traces of history.
• Unique scenic spot creation: With the help of era elements such as mining sites, old buildings, mining tunnels, etc., more than 30 unique attractions such as the "that era" pedestrian street, time and space tunnel, cliff plank road, glass plank road, cliff hotel, etc. have been created, providing tourists with a rich tourism experience.
Rich and diverse tourism experience
• Cultural experience: Tourists can visit the Wanshan Mercury Mine Industrial Heritage Museum to learn about the development process and glorious history of the mercury industry; they can also watch authentic era performances on the "that era" street, participate in various retro activities, and feel the cultural atmosphere of that special period.
• Leisure and vacation: The average temperature in the ancient town in summer is 25℃, which is an ideal place to escape the summer heat. In addition, the scenic spot has also launched tourism products such as research and training, sports and health care to meet the needs of different tourists.
Beautiful natural scenery
• Mountains and waters are interdependent: Zhusha Ancient Town is located on the top of a high mountain in eastern Guizhou, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, and the scenery is pleasant. Visitors can enjoy natural landscapes such as cliff waterfalls and canyons here, and feel the magic of nature.
• Fresh air: Tongren has a good ecology, four seasons like spring, and a forest coverage rate of more than 50%. It is known as the "natural air conditioner" and "green oxygen bar". As a part of it, Zhusha Ancient Town has fresh air and makes people feel relaxed and happy.
To be honest, although it is an unpopular scenic spot, the whole tour route still gave me more surprises, especially the plank road on the cliff, one section of which is made of glass. My companion is more afraid of heights than me, so I supported him all the way. The scenery outside the cliff is beautiful! The mine cave is not so good, the introduction is not detailed enough, and the colored lights set off the cave. It is recommended to use lights with a color temperature of 4000~4500K, the effect should be better.

Great value! Many services are very detailed! There are many rooms and the balcony overlooks the entire water park. We only came out to play in the water park hot springs after dinner. Unfortunately, the sky was not beautiful, and it was thunder and rain for more than an hour. But the children are still very happy to play.
This hot spring is really good, the hot spring water is very slippery, the environment is good, and there are many pools. There is also a large water park. Waiting until 12 noon, he also provides free snack drinks, fruit, which is really good.

This plan Yungui self-driving tour, it took half a month from mid-April to return before the May 1st holiday, but the result was still because of the time, did not wait to go to Yunnan to arrive on May 1st, do not want to holiday to join the lively May 2 all the way to the road nearly 700 kilometers back to the house. According to the route, I have walked through Xiangyang Ancient City, Gulongzhong, Changde Taohuayuan, Zhangjiajie, Furong Town, Phoenix Ancient City, Tongrenzhong South Gate Ancient Street, Tongcheng Wanshan Zhusha Ancient Town, Qianhu Miao Village in Southwest Guizhou, Anshun Gujie Old City, Huanggushu Waterfall, Guiyang Jiaxiu Building, The former site of the Zunyi Conference, Fanjing Mountain, and another night tour through Tongren, Zhongnanmen Ancient Street, Enshi Daughter City, and the Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area, then ran home all the way. The most impressive of these attractions is Tongren City. Although I didn't wander around the city, I lived in Tongren Bijiang District. The surrounding Zhongnanmen Ancient Street, Jinjiang Night View is also very enjoyable. I went to Anshun and passed by the ancient town of Zhusha in Tongren Wanshan District. When I came back, I climbed Fanjing Mountain from the west gate of Zunyi. 1, Tongren Zhongnanmen Ancient Street: Tongren Zhongnanmen Ancient Street is located in Bijiang District, Tongren City, Guizhou Province, is a relatively intact historical and cultural district in Tongren's main city, and is also a witness to Tongren's long history. Zhongnanmen Ancient Street is named after the south gate of Tongren Ancient City. It was once the political, economic and cultural center of Tongren during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The ancient street was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. It is an important part of Tongren Ancient City and witnessed the prosperity of Tongren as the gateway of Tongren East. The ancient street retains a large number of Ming and Qing buildings, mainly blue brick and gray tiles, wood structure, integrating Huizhou architecture and local characteristics of the east of the province. The streets are narrow and narrow, with slabs paving the road, and many shops and houses on both sides. Some buildings have a courtyard pattern, reflecting the combination of traditional business and residential functions. There are also Feishan Palace, Zhou Yiqun's former residence (former residence of revolutionary martyrs), Ming and Qing shops and other sites in the ancient city. Tongren is a multi-ethnic settlement, the ancient street reflects the blend of Han, Miao, and other national cultures, such as architectural decoration, traditional crafts (such as Miao embroidery, silver jewelry), local snacks (such as social rice, rice tofu), etc. Here we tasted snacks, the most impressive is ancient oil tea, It's the soul of ginger and tea, super spicy. When I left, I also bought Tongren's local Fanjingshan Green Tea and Matcha in the ancient city. It is inevitable to buy and buy 😁 2. Zhusha Ancient Town: Many people will think of the ancient town of Zhusha as soon as they hear this name. It is famous for zhusha because of nature. The most impressive thing I am is the "that era" in the ancient town. After visiting the "that era", you may not know much about the history before the reform and opening up after the founding of the country, but you will definitely respect the hard years experienced by the old generation of people who opened the mountain to dig mines. If you are interested, you can ask the bean bag or deepseek. We have caught up with the good times, When remembering the mission, do not forget the original intention. 3. Fanjing Mountain, about 70 kilometers away from Tongren City, we are going from the west gate of Jiangkou County. The biggest advantage of going up the mountain from here is that there are cableways up and down, which is more suitable for the elderly who are not too physically strong. Fanjing Mountain is worth your own climbing, Hongyun Jinding for physical strength must be up, in addition to feeling the magic of nature, you should admire the power of faith! Tongren, maybe will go.
The ancient city, what impressed me most at night was Longyou Jinjiang, see Figure 234. The cruise ship meandered along the Jinjiang River, and the lights were bright. Not only the people who paid to take the boat were happy, but also the people who watched for free on the shore were happy. The best viewing position: Jinjiang Bridge. Departure time from the pier: 21:00.
Tongren Ancient City is very interesting, and it is worth it for me to stay for one night.

The hot spring area is very large and the environment is beautiful. There are many pools. Unfortunately, it is off-season and half of them are not open. However, there are not many people, so it is enough. Basically, I have one pool to myself.
A very worthwhile hot spring. I was attracted to get off the highway when I saw a billboard saying that the hot spring was drinkable. The hot spring facilities are good, and the water is clear and comfortable. There are also many hot spring pools! It's just that there are too many places to experience at night. I will soak again when I come to this place in the future!

Yunshe is located on the southern foot of Fanjing Mountain, the main peak of Wuling Mountains, and on the bank of Taiping River. It is the largest Tujia village in China.
The Taiping River in Yunshe Village runs through the entire village, with gurgling water, shaded by green trees, and picturesque scenery. The source of the stream is Yunshe Spring, also known as Shenlongtan. The water gushes out from the ground with a flow rate of 4m3/s. The water is clear and the water temperature is constant at around 16 degrees.
Yunshe seems to be a paradise, waiting for every tourist who loves nature and culture to explore.
Yunshe, the first Tujia village in China, has picturesque scenery. The world's shortest river, Shenlong River (only 800 meters long), runs across the village. The village is lively and vibrant because of the river. The villagers live a leisurely and comfortable life without competing with the world. There are also many unique homestays in the village, such as "Puju", etc. Living here will give you a very relaxing experience. The villagers live by the mountains and the water, and Shenlong River is their "mother river".

[View] The original ecological scenery is worth slowly enjoying [interest] As long as you carefully observe, you will find animals or plants shaped [cost-effective] because they have not been developed, you can only drive or charter a car.
The scenery of Guizhou Red Stone Forest is very beautiful and beautiful. It is a good place for taking pictures. The weather is different, the color of the stone is different, and the fun is strong. Take pictures and see the beautiful scenery. It is comfortable, comfortable and great.
