Located at the junction of Jiangkou, Yinjiang and Songtao counties in Tongren City in eastern Guizhou, Fanjing Mountain is the highest peak (2,493 meters above sea level) in the Wuling Mountains (to which Zhangjiajie also belongs). The natural scenery of Fanjing Mountain is very unique. In addition to the four celestial wonders of cloud waterfall, Zen mist, phantom, and Buddha light, the primitive flood is the landscape feature of Fanjing Mountain, adding a mysterious color to Fanjing Mountain. The scenery is beautiful and natural, and there is no trace of artificial scenery when entering the mountainous area. The "Mushroom Rock" on its main peak is a famous landscape and a destination that cannot be missed when traveling to Guizhou.
Other iconic attractions include: Old Golden Summit, Hongyun Golden Summit, Mushroom Stone, Thousand Volumes of Scriptures, Nine Dragon Pool, etc. Fanjing Mountain, formerly known as "Three Valleys", is named after "Brahma Pure Land". It is also a famous Chinese Buddhist mountain with the same name as "Five Sacred Mountains".
On June 1st, we set off from the foot of Fanjing Mountain, which is more than 400 meters above sea level. We first took a sightseeing car, and after about 20 minutes we reached the cableway station at an altitude of 800 meters. After taking the cable car, we went up to the cableway at an altitude of 2050 meters in about 15 minutes. Get on the station, and then start to climb the mountain. The climbing road is well-built. After climbing slowly for about an hour, we reach the mountaintop scenic spot at an altitude of more than 2,200 meters. Although the clouds and mist make it impossible to see the distant scenery, the mushroom stones on the top of the mountain, which are the symbols of Fanjing Mountain, are indeed natural and magical. Due to the heavy fog, I did not climb the Red Rock Golden Summit, leaving a regret It's good to come again next time. When walking on the top of the mountain, I cast my eyes on the flowers beside the trail.
The forest coverage rate of Mount Fanjing is as high as 95%, and it is green everywhere you look. Fanjing Mountain has a mild and humid climate and obvious vertical height difference, which makes the plant species here very diverse. Fanjing Mountain has more than 2,000 species of plants, 31 species of nationally protected plants, 801 species of animals, and 19 species of nationally protected animals. It is known as an oasis on the earth. , animal and plant gene pools, and the precious heritage of mankind. With the momentum of Mount Hua, the grandeur of Mount Tai, and the strange stones of Tuer Ridge, it is a holy place for tourism. It is well-deserved to become a member of the international "Man and the Biosphere Conservation Network" (MAB).
The purple flowers on the side of the road are very beautiful
The alpine rhododendrons on Mount Fanjing are widely distributed. Although we have passed the blooming period this time, we can still see blooming flowers on the side of the road.
The vegetation of Fanjing Mountain is very good
After coming down from Mount Fanjing, we went to Yamugou not far away the next day. Although Yamugou is not as famous as Mount Fanjing, you can fully enjoy the fresh air while walking in it, and the small river in the valley is also very clear.
The air quality in Yamugou is very good, and the content of negative oxygen ions is dozens of times higher than outside the ditch, and hundreds of times higher than in big cities. Therefore, Yamugou once sold "air canned food" quite creatively.
Yamugou is not far from the foot of Fanjing Mountain, about half an hour's drive. After we visit Fanjing Mountain, we can go to Yamugou to breathe fresh air and enjoy the clear water.
