This Mount Fanjing, which has many titles, is yearning for countless people, especially during the peak tourist season. I don't think it is an exaggeration to say that the scene is "Spring Festival". What is the charm of Fanjing Mountain? It can be so fascinating. It was not until I walked here that I really felt the legend of Fanjing Mountain. This trip to Fanjing Mountain, I used shock, surprise, beauty and satisfaction Four words to describe, and let me slowly elaborate.


[Shock] Red Cloud Golden Summit Old Golden Summit Mushroom Cloud


The three major scenic spots of Mount Fanjing, Red Cloud Golden Summit, Old Golden Summit, and Mushroom Stone are enough to shock me!

NO.1: Red Cloud Golden Summit

Li Bai, a poet, once said that "the road to Shu is more difficult than going to the blue sky", which probably means that the mountain roads in Sichuan are very difficult to climb. Walking such a road is more difficult than going to the sky. Of course, this is an exaggeration, but when I walked into the Hongyun Jinding of Fanjing Mountain, I might understand what Li Bai said about the difficulty of the Shu Road. It is not an exaggeration at all, but it is the narrow and dangerous trail that makes the unique experience of the Red Cloud Golden Summit of Fanjing Mountain possible.

Let’s take a brief look at Hongyun Jinding first. Hongyun Jinding is 2,336 meters above sea level. It is often surrounded by red clouds in the morning, so it is also called Hongyun Jinding, which is a homonym for “Hongyun Jinding”, which means good luck. Anyone who has been to Mount Fanjing knows that because the altitude of Mount Fanjing is too high, the weather here is different every day. It may be light and cloudy in one second, and it will be densely clouded in the next second, which is very magical.

Climbing to the Red Cloud Golden Summit is not an easy task. Almost only one person can pass through the narrow stone-step plank road. No matter how vigorous your skills are, you will not be able to bypass the tourists in front of you. And if you are too fat, it may be difficult for you to climb up. In addition, the very narrow stone steps are hung on the bare cliff, and tourists climb up bit by bit by the hand-held chains and ropes on the fence, which is very exciting.

Looking up from the foot of the mountain, the Red Cloud Golden Summit of Mount Fanjing looks like a boulder falling from the sky, like a gift from nature. Its formation is mainly due to structural control, it has been in a strong uplift area, and it rises to become the top of Wuling Mountain. The exposed Mesoproterozoic Yufanjingshan Group is a continental rift basin-Red Sea type Cenozoic basin volcanic sedimentary rock series; the main peaks at the foot of the mountain and the top of the mountain are also the Upper Proterozoic Yubanxi Group-Xiajiang Group fluctuating continental margin fragments. debris deposition. To put it simply, it is the movement of the earth's crust and the movement of plates over hundreds of millions of years that "born" such a magical mountain.

Climb to Hongyun Jinding and you will suddenly see the light. The upper part of Hongyun Jinding is divided into two isolated peaks by the "Golden Knife Gorge" - the Sakyamuni Hall is built in the south, dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha; the Maitreya Hall is built in the north, dedicated to Buddha. Maitreya. The middle is connected by a bridge, which looks like a flying dragon. Viewed from different angles, Hongyun Jinding looks like the two-finger meditation of Buddha's hand and the totem of life, so it is also called "the first peak in the world".

If you want to climb Hongyun Jinding, you must check the weather conditions of the day in advance. I only saw the real body of Jinding three times. If the weather is bad, you will be foggy when you climb up. You can only see your fingers when you reach out. Makes too much sense. But on the contrary, when the weather is good, there is really a feeling of seeing all the small mountains at a glance, and the view is very wide. This is the first shock that Hongyun Jinding gave me.

NO.2: Old Golden Summit

If what Hongyun Jinding gave me is a kind of stimulating and shocking beauty, then the old Jinding is not inferior, and once again stimulated my young heart. The Old Golden Summit is located next to the Mushroom Stone, including the Mushroom Stone Group, Nine Emperor Caves, Wanjuanshu, Edict Stele, Lantern Hall, Tongming Hall, Dishui Cliff and other scenic spots. The old Jinding is 2494 meters above sea level, which is currently the highest point in Fanjing Mountain.

Compared with Hongyun Jinding, although the altitude of Old Jinding is slightly higher, the climbing is relatively smooth and not as exciting as Hongyun Jinding, but the scenery is equally beautiful. From Mushroom Stone to the Old Golden Summit, we will pass the Nine Emperor Cave, which is a cave between the rocks, enshrining the statue of the Nine Emperor Empress. According to legend, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the ninth concubine of Emperor Shenzong saw through the red dust and came to Fanjing Mountain to practice. She was known as the Nine Emperor Empress. She was sanctified here and was commemorated by the people.

Climbing to the old Golden Summit, you can overlook the Mushroom Stone landscape and the entire Fanjing Mountain landscape. If the weather is good, you can see the Red Cloud Golden Summit on the opposite side. To be honest, I didn’t really see these landscapes until the third day, so in fact I am quite lucky, after all, it is more difficult to meet the blue sky, white clouds and good weather than to find a partner. The red cloud golden roof on the left, the old golden roof on the right, and the two golden roofs on the left and right correspond to each other.

Standing on the old Jinding, I really feel that the sea of ​​clouds is right in front of my eyes. I suddenly thought of a poem "If the mountain is not high, there are immortals, then there are spirits", but when you come to the old Jinding and see the surrounding scenery, you may really feel it. To fairy spirit. Zen mist curls up from the valley, one layer after another, and the white clouds roll up and down like a waterfall in the sky. The whole mountain is buried in the sea of ​​fog and clouds day and night. The whiteness in front of you makes people feel like they are in a fairyland. The landscape is really unique.

NO.3: Mushroom Stone

Everyone knows that on July 2, 2018, at the 42nd World Heritage Conference, Guizhou Fanjing Mountain was approved to be included in the "World Natural Heritage List". In addition to the Red Cloud Golden Summit and the Old Golden Summit, the most important treasure is the Mushroom Stone Landscape, which is also one of the landmark attractions in Guizhou Province.

Its name is just like its image, the top is big and the bottom is small, just like a mushroom. About ten meters high, it is slim and graceful. It seems that it will fall at the touch of a touch, but in fact it remains motionless. This can be said to be the iconic landscape of Mount Fanjing, which is said to have a lifespan of more than 1 billion years. Seeing this mushroom stone, it is easy to think of the mushroom cloud rising from the atomic bomb explosion. For humans, it is easy to make an atomic bomb, but it is difficult to copy a mushroom stone.

How is mushroom marble formed? I think it is still necessary to understand. It is formed because wind, water, organisms, etc. provide material conditions for the destruction of rocks. The damage of various external forces to ground rocks and weathered products in a moving state is called denudation, and denudation destroys the surface of mountain rocks. At the same time, it is constantly changing the shape of the mountain rock surface, eventually forming mushroom stone. The first thing I felt when I saw the Mushroom Stone was that it was magical, and I had to marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature. It looks like something flying from the sky, and it also seems to grow out of the ground, standing proudly. Great America China, Mt. Fanjing Mushroom Stone is definitely a highlight.


Tips:

1: Be sure to check the weather conditions of Fanjingshan in advance. If there is heavy fog, choose to come again
2: The old Jinding and Mushroom Stone in one direction will be relatively simple
3: It is recommended to bring gloves, because this season is relatively cold, and the iron chain is very cold and rusty.


[Surprise] 3,000-meter cableway of Wanbu ladder


NO.1: Wanbu ladder

Speaking of the surprise part, why is it the Wanbu ladder and cableway? In fact, I am still surprised by the natural landscape here. As a huge natural treasure house, the forest landscape here is amazing. There are mainly two ways to climb Fanjing Mountain: taking the cableway and walking. The cableway can go up in 20 minutes, but if you choose to walk up, it will take about 5 hours. However, I personally think that if you have good physical strength, it is still very worthwhile. For experience, you can choose to take the ropeway up and walk down, that's how I play. The time to come down is about 3 hours. As a national nature reserve and a world natural heritage, it is easiest to feel the beauty of Fanjingshan Wanbu ladder by walking.

We all know that Mount Fanjing is very rich in natural resources. It preserves the subtropical native ecosystem and remains of ancient and rare species from 70 million to 2 million years ago. According to official data, there are 2,601 species of organisms in Fanjing Mountain, including 2,000 species of plants, 21 species of rare plants listed in the national key protection, accounting for 43% of the total number of protected plants in Guizhou Province; 801 species of animals, including vertebrates. There are 382 species, including 19 species of national key protected animals. Such a huge natural treasure house composed of such rich animals and plants is a rare treasure in our country and even in the world.

In late autumn and early winter, the forests of Mount Fanjing are all dyed, and you can truly feel the clouds and clouds of Mount Fanjing when you take the cableway. The collision of red, yellow and green colors constitutes the extremely gorgeous colors of Mount Fanjing in autumn. Fanjing Mountain in late autumn is beautiful. You can see the overall beauty by taking the cableway, but you can choose Wanbu ladder to climb the mountain. This pure natural and primitive way will make you feel the beauty of the details of Fanjing Mountain more truly.

As the name implies, the Wanbu Ladder has ten thousand steps, and climbing it depends entirely on physical strength and perseverance. Of course, it is not accurate to 10,000 steps. The staff told me that there are nearly 9,000 steps to climb from the foot of the mountain to the square, and the altitude is about 1,600 meters. Every step is a different scene, you can see vegetation of various colors and various small animals, and the scenery along the way will appear less heavy.

We all know that there are treasures everywhere in Fanjing Mountain. Walking among the ten thousand steps of the ladder, the original forest landscape of Fanjing Mountain is on both sides of the road. From above Yu'ao, the altitude is 1400-1900 meters. It is an evergreen deciduous broad-leaved mixed forest belt. -2100 meters is a deciduous broad-leaved forest belt. In Mount Fanjing, there are many thick trees, many of which have a diameter of more than 1 meter. There are 15 types of floristic geographical components in the world, and there are 13 types in Fanjing Mountain. Although the road is long, there are always many surprises in the dense forests on both sides. A leaf, a branch, a moss, and a step all seem to tell the story of this jungle kingdom.

NO.2: 3,000-meter cableway

The easiest and most time-saving and labor-saving way to climb Fanjing Mountain is to take the Sante Cableway. The advantage of this is that you can overlook the entire Fanjing Mountain in late autumn and early winter, with a better presentation and a wider view. Take the scenic sightseeing car to the cable car. If there are few people, you can queue up for 10 minutes. Each cable car can take up to 8 people. The doors are automatically closed, and the large front and rear glass and the small windows on both sides can better appreciate Fanjing. mountain view.

The entire ropeway is 3411.32 meters long, with an altitude drop of 1193 meters and a maximum distance of 178.78 meters from the ground. It takes about 20 minutes to sit on it. You may feel nervous and nervous when doing it for the first time, but there is no need to worry. After all, it is in operation For so many years, the safety of tourists will definitely be guaranteed.

It was said earlier that you can really feel the clouds and clouds in Fanjing Mountain by taking the cableway. Fanjing Mountain in late autumn is beautiful. You can see the overall beauty by taking the cableway. This kind of beauty is intuitive and domineering, but I still recommend you to sit up and walk down. The beauty of the atmosphere and the beauty of the delicate are still different.

Tips:

1: The price of the cableway is 160 RMB for a round trip / 90 RMB for a one-way trip;

2: It takes about 5 hours to go up the mountain on foot, and about 3 hours to go down.


[Beautiful] Zhaisha Dong Village


The beauty is brought to me by Zhaisha Dongzhai, a paradise hidden at the foot of Fanjing Mountain.

Fanjing Mountain is very beautiful, but many people ignore that there is a minority village called Zhaisha Dong Village at the foot of Fanjing Mountain. In short, it is the village of Dong minority in my country. This village is not very big, but very It has its own characteristics. I personally think that if you come to Fanjing Mountain one day, you might as well take some time to come here to see the night view. It is definitely worth visiting.

Before sharing the beauty of the Zhaisha Dong village, let’s first briefly understand the Dong nationality. This is one of the 55 ethnic minorities in my country. It is mainly agricultural, mostly rice planting, and its weaving is relatively exquisite. The current Dong people are mainly distributed in Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture in Guizhou Province, Xinhuang Dong Autonomous County in Hunan Province, Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and Longsheng and Rongshui Dong Autonomous Counties, etc. Like many Dong villages, the village Gates, squares, bell and drum towers, farmhouse music, and 64 two-story stilted buildings are typical buildings of this village, but Zhaisha Dong Village has many differences. The whole village is surrounded by green hills and hidden among lush forests and bamboos, just like a paradise.

The gate of Zhaisha Dong Village is very tall, consisting of 6 floors and 6 columns, which reflects the characteristics of Dong traditional culture in many ways. Wandering along the Qingshiban Road, after a hundred steps, it suddenly becomes clear that a circular square is like a peacock spreading its tail. At a corner of the square stands a landmark building of the Dong village - the Bell and Drum Tower. Next to the Bell and Drum Tower stands several trees with Jinsinan, a precious nanmu tree more than a hundred years old, is old and vigorous, with a unique scenery.

The Bell and Drum Tower of the Dong Village is the core of the Dong village. This kind of drum tower can be seen in any Dong village in the country. The largest Dong Village Bell and Drum Tower in China is Congjiang Drum Tower, which has the reputation of "the first Drum Tower in Dong Township". Moreover, this kind of drum tower is built with local Chinese fir, and adopts a multi-column structure without nails, rivets and mortises. In fact, Drum Tower is now equivalent to the center of the village. In the past, village officials would discuss the big and small affairs of the village here, and some performances would be held in the square in front of Drum Tower. Moreover, in the Dong village, the Drum Tower is usually built first before the Dong Village is built. It can be seen that the Drum Tower is still very important in the hearts of the Dong people.

From a distance, the village lies at the foot of Mount Fanjing. Surrounded by mountains, Zhaisha is like a lazy Dong girl living in Qionglou Yuyu. The houses of the Dong family are few and far between, yet peaceful. They are either hidden among the bamboos and cypresses, or entrenched by the streams, or stand alone around the countryside, echoing the Dajin Buddhist Temple and the Wind and Rain Bridge not far away. , forming a natural and harmonious rural ink painting. The Dong village at night has a different style, and the houses reflected in the water have a feeling of a Jiangnan water town. False and real, tradition and modernity, ecology and leisure, draw a wonderful picture of various styles, and there is one household and one scene, and the leisurely fun of changing scenery with each step. Being personally on the scene, it gives people a feeling that this scene should only exist in the sky, and it is rare to travel a few times in the world.

In addition, there are many boutique homestays in Dongzhai, where you can visit the night view of Dongzhai, eat Guizhou delicacies, watch the bonfire party, stay in Dongzhai and listen to the peaceful scene of insects and birds. Someone once commented on Zhai Sha: "She looks like a fairyland on earth from a distance, but she looks like a paradise when you travel up close." This is a unique geographical location, which has created a unique Zhaisha Dong Village, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with outstanding people.


[Satisfaction] Guizhou specialties


A hearty meal can bring me a lot of satisfaction when I am away from home, and this time it is the same for Fanjingshan.

When you come to Tongren Fanjing Mountain scenic spot in Guizhou, the most unmissable thing is to eat a meal of Guizhou farm food. This time I ate this one in Zhaisha Dongzhai called Mashi Grilled Fish. The taste is very good.

The characteristics of Guizhou cuisine are spicy and mellow, fragrant, sour and fresh, and rich in taste. Simply put, it has a strong fragrance, hot and sour taste, and is an absolute magic weapon for dinner. For example, the local chicken hot pot, green pepper fish, fried bacon with dried bamboo shoots, smashed scrambled eggs, mountain fern, capers minced meat, cold preserved eggs, hot and sour shredded beef... every dish can make me drool. ~

Tips:

1: The address is on the right side of Zhaisha Dongzhai Square
2: RMB 50 per person
