Walking on Mount Fanjing, walking on the vast land, walking on the mountains and villages, it is like reading thousands of books, like saving a compassionate heart, in the vast world of mortals, I think, therefore I am.

【Legend of Mount Fanjing: Sakyamuni and Maitreya Buddha】
According to legend, a long time ago, the Golden Summit of Mount Fanjing was a towering and complete peak. Legend has it that the ancient Buddha who ruled the world at that time did not want to take care of human affairs anymore, so he wanted to step aside, and Sakyamuni and Maitreya both wanted to take over. The ancient Buddha Di Deng didn't want to make the two Buddhas at odds for this reason, so he asked the two Buddhas to rule the world together. The two Buddhas traveled all over the famous mountains in the world, and when they came to Fanjing Mountain, they saw the red cloud and the golden top of the single peak entering the clouds. The two Buddhas argued endlessly, which alarmed the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor ordered the god to split the golden roof with a golden knife, so one mountain was divided into two mountains, with Sakyamuni on the left and Maitreya on the right, allowing the two Buddhas to share the world. The latter two Buddhas each built a hall and did not communicate with each other. People call the mountain gorge formed by the golden knife "Golden Knife Gorge". After learning about this, the ancient Buddha Dieng Deng came to the Golden Summit of Fanjing Mountain to persuade the two Buddhas to reconcile. A bridge was built over Jindao Gorge, and the two Buddhas went back and forth again. Because the bridge was built by gods, it was named "Tianxian Bridge". The ancient Buddha of the combustible lamp is still worried about the two Buddhas, so please guide the Buddha to press a stone nest with your hands in the stone gap between the gorge, fill it with "calming water", let the two Buddhas drink a sip each, so as to stop their greed and calm their minds . After the two Buddhas reconciled, they closed their eyes and practiced in the hall all day long.
[Red Cloud Top]: Surrounded by clouds and mist, green eyes, a quiet, isolated stone peak about 100 meters high stands on the top of Fanjing Mountain, like unearthed jade shoots reaching the sky, sometimes surrounded by clouds, sometimes bathed in sunshine.
From Mushroom Stone, you can overlook the Red Cloud Golden Summit on the opposite side. There are 2 options here, one is to go through the Mushroom Stone and continue to go up to the old Jinding, and then return, the other is to follow the path below to the temple - Cheng'en Temple, and then climb the more famous Red Cloud golden dome.
Looking back at the climb up the old Jinding, the opposite is the new Jinding, and the farthest should be Phoenix Mountain.
At the bifurcation intersection, there are different directions for the old Jinding and Hongyun Jinding. You can choose your target according to your physical fitness and climb up both. It is recommended to go to the old Jinding first, and then turn back to Hongyun Jinding. The whole process of Laojinding takes a lot of physical strength, but Hongyunjinding requires a little guts, climbing with all four hands and feet, as long as you have perseverance, courage, and good health.
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.
[Mushroom Stone]: The top is big and the bottom is small, shaped like a mushroom, about ten meters high, with a history of 1.4 billion years, so it is also called "seven-level pagoda stone". It is also one of the ten famous balance stones in the world, and it also means the "normal mind" of Buddhism.
There is a [October Pregnancy Tree] here, a mother with nine sons, the mother tree is a cherry, on its trunk grows a variety of trees including rhododendron, bell flower, hydrangea, Chinese maple, etc. The roots of the daughter trees are all rooted in the mother. The root, which you will definitely meet when you go to the west line, it leans in the middle of the road, and its age is estimated to be thousands of years old.
[Cheng'en Temple] The temple was first built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It is one of the four emperor's nunneries, also known as Zhenguo Temple, formerly known as Tongming Hall. Located between the old and new golden roofs, it is the main building of the Fanjingshan temple complex. Red, white, gray and green, the temple is very eye-catching against the surrounding scenery.
There is a song "I'm waiting for you under Mount Fanjing". When people walk into the scenic area of Mount Fanjing in the early morning, the mountain hides itself in the sea of clouds, charming and mysterious.
【The 3514-meter cableway flies over the clouds】
The total length of the Fanjingshan cableway is 3,514 meters, and the height difference between the upper and lower stations of the cableway is 1,200 meters. There are 3,200 steps from Yu'ao, the lower station of the cableway, to Wanbaoyan, and the fastest running time of the cableway is only 14 minutes.
【Wanbaoyan——The Living Fossil of Fanjingshan Chronicle】
The magic of Wanbaoyan This is not an ordinary stone. It looks simple and rough on the outside, but it is a living fossil in the annals of Mount Fanjing. The official name of the stone is "Bishuoyan", also known as Wanbaoyan. Its body starts from the disintegration of the earth's crust, to the uplift and inversion in the geological movement, and the wind and sun for hundreds of millions of years. It contains calcium, iron and Other non-ferrous metals, and with volcanic debris on it... It is a landmark geological wonder on the oldest platform south of the Yellow River, and it is also a rough stone rising from the seabed. Such an amazing story and situation. It is the witness of the vicissitudes of life for hundreds of millions of years, and it is also the handed down trademark that God deliberately left for Fanjing Mountain.
