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 · 23.5 km from downtown

Yunshe Scenic Area is located at the foot of the mysterious Mount Fanjing and the picturesque Taiping River, 1.5 kilometers away from Jiangkou County and 10 kilometers away from the south gate of Mount Fanjing. Entering the scenic spot, what catches your eye is the wooden plank road suspended in the water. The ancient waterwheel quietly counts the historical rings on the Shenlong River. The clear river flows out of the world's shorter river around the Tujia stockade. The outline of Yunshe. Yunshe Village is more than 1,500 meters above sea level. The mountains are dangerous and the bamboo forests are lush. There is a Shenlong Pool in the village and the Taiping River in front of the village. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the ancestors of Yunshe valued this piece of land and moved here to make a living by making paper, and the craftsmanship of papermaking was passed down from generation to generation. Shenlongtan, also known as Yunshe Spring, commonly known as Longtang and Rhinoceros Pond, is a descending spring. There are two strange things about Shenlongtan: First, it is unfathomable. There were more than 30 young people who took a basket of ropes, connected them to a long rope and tied a large stone and sank them into the pool. The bottom; second, it can predict the weather. The fluctuation of this spring has always been a precursor to local weather changes. The Shenlongtan spring has a large flow of water, excellent water quality, sweet and delicious, and has been the source of life for the Tujia people in Yunshe Village since ancient times. The barrel house is a unique Tujia ancient building in Yunshe. The barrel houses are mostly brick and wood structures. The courtyard and eaves are paved with bluestone slabs. The four walls are high brick walls with bluestone feet. The side view is ladder-shaped, and all have eaves. Generally, there are exquisite reliefs on the eaves and stone piers, and there are many hollow carvings on the balustrades and windows. The beauty of Yunshe's scenery comes from the absence of artificial carvings, and the beauty of Yunshe's folk customs comes from the original folk customs. The ancient village of Yunshe will always maintain a suitable distance from the mundane world, and will always maintain the simplicity, purity, detachment and lightness of the ancient village of Xianxiang, beyond the clouds and the end of the world.Jiangkou · 5.2 km from downtown

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 · 27.1 km from downtown

Qianling Mountain is definitely worth a visit. The scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh, and it's a truly special place. A six-hour visit is recommended. The shuttle bus and cable car are very convenient, and the service is excellent. The view from the top is breathtaking, like a fairyland. It's highly recommended.

A perfect summer retreat. Hiking here during the hottest season is truly delightful, and the forest's high concentration of negative oxygen ions is invigorating.

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.
