Appreciate the autumn scenery of a mountain in Brahma Pure Land


  The poem goes: The red cloud tops the nine heavens, and the sacred platform is raised high to open the Dharma feast. Break through the jade peak to open up the pure land, return to the wasteland and hang the eternal wisdom lamp.


  When I heard about Fanjing Mountain, there was only one word "Vatican", and I was already longing for it. We can imagine what happened to Mount Fanjing in the hundreds of millions of years, but we can't participate in it, let alone recount the stories in the mottled time of hundreds of millions of years.


  The first time I met, Fanjing Mountain greeted me with floating clouds.


  There is a song "I'm waiting for you under Mount Fanjing". When I walked into the scenic area of ​​Mount Fanjing with the flow of people in the morning, the mountain hid 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.


  Of course, the Fanjingshan Cableway not only has these shocking numbers, but as the cableway moves forward, the mountain is heavy and the water is heavy, and the clouds and smoke are misty, and the beauty of Fanjingshan is displayed before the eyes. High, the clouds are clear and the fog is scattered, the vast sea of ​​clouds floats among the mountains, and the autumn of Fanjing Mountain blooms with mottled seasons. This fairyland on earth is amazing.


  The cableway takes tourists to the 2,100-meter Fanjing Mountain cloud line. Plants such as hemlock and fir grow on the cloud line. Because the clouds and mists surround the mountains all the year round, the trees here are covered with the imprint of time all the year round, as if they have been sparsely populated for a long time. The moss mark has become a rare landscape just like the secret place of the

Wanbaoyan——the Living Fossil of Fanjingshan Chronicle


  There is an endless stream of tourists coming and going. After getting off the cable car, they walk into the climbing route of Wanbao Rock. The green moss around the steps shows the beauty of the season. The chains of praying along the way are full of mountain roads, and when you walk to Wanbaoyan, you can see a stone that looks like a stone from heaven standing on the mountainside.


  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.

  Starting from Wanbaoyan and going up the stone steps, you will see a "clean heart pool" not far away. Clear springs seep from the mountain wall and drip into the pool. Visitors passing by here will wash their hands with this water. It is said that drinking the water here can bring wealth home.


  Not far from the Jingxin Pool, you can see a Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion in the mountains. It stands at the corner of the steps and faces the wind. Its unique appearance tells visitors that there must have been beautiful legends here.



  Going further is the Tianshi scenic spot. It was originally a street, originally named Shizi Street, and was called Tianshi by the people who came and went. There were 48 medicine stalls at most. Now it is a small shop selling handicrafts. The shop is not big. All kinds of artworks with the color of Mount Fanjing make tourists stop to watch and buy.


  What attracts me the most is the jade purple belt robe stone, which shows wealth, auspiciousness and preciousness. The purple robe jade belt stone is produced on the top of Fanjing Mountain in Guizhou Province Nature Reserve. Fanjing Mountain is the ancient ashram of Maitreya Buddha, gathering the sun and the moon for millions of years It is the essence of mountains and rivers that creates this fine stone. According to research, so far only Mount Fanjing in the world produces purple robe jade belt stone, so it is still in the stage of limited mining.



The stone is mainly purple, with jade and green alternated, which contains the meaning of big red and big purple. According to folklore, it has Buddha nature and can bring auspicious happiness to people.



  Going a short distance, you can see a temple. In front of the temple is Pudu Square, where you can see the Red Cloud Golden Summit and the Old Golden Summit. The highest peak of Mount Fanjing is 2,572 meters. It is the main peak of the Wuling Mountains and the first mountain in Guizhou. When viewing the Red Cloud Golden Summit in Pudu Square, you must be calm and float with the air. There is no trace in the clouds and mist, but it is clear from time to time, making people feel like they are in a fantasy world.

Cheng'en Temple, one of the Four Great Temples




  Pudu Square is adjacent to Cheng'en Temple, one of the Four Great Imperial Temples, also known as Zhenguo Temple, formerly known as Tongming Hall, facing the Red Cloud Golden Summit in front and Yuejing Old Mountain in the back, and is located between the new and old Golden Summits of Fanjing Mountain.




  It was first built in the early Ming Dynasty, and Cheng'en Temple was destroyed by the war in Xianfeng. In the 6th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, it was renamed Zhenguo Temple when it was rebuilt by Monk Longcan. Cheng'en Temple has a history of more than 500 years.






  Entering the temple, there are not many tourists, and the temple is also solemn and quiet. There are blessing incense on the censer, and five-color ribbons hanging on the head. When you turn around, you can see the golden dome of red clouds. Looking at the golden dome from Cheng'en Temple, it is even more mysterious and spectacular.

Climbing the Red Cloud Golden Summit




  After leaving Cheng'en Temple, I returned to Pudu Square and decided to climb the Red Cloud Golden Summit. I wanted to see the beauty of the clouds and mist, and I wanted to take a look at all the small mountains.

  The air is cool and the wind is clear, the sea of ​​clouds is light and light, and it is suitable to wrap around the peaks. Occasionally, you can see the morning dew floating on the grass in the stream, and listen to the wind rustling through the trees and between your eyebrows and eyes. There are not many tourists. I kept changing angles to take pictures while climbing, overlooking Fanjing Mountain and seeing its pure land Sanskrit.




  I have climbed many well-known mountains over the years, but every time I would refuse in my heart, and I would always say in my heart that I would never climb another mountain again. However, the Red Cloud Golden Summit of Fanjing Mountain actually made me feel that it was the most meaningful and worthwhile climb in these years.



  There is a Guanyin Cave on the hillside of Hongyun Jinding, also known as Daer Cave. It is said that throwing a small stone into this cave can make children grow up healthily.


  During the climbing, some tourists screamed, and some tourists were calm and calm. Such beings are also an interesting thing about climbing the Red Cloud Golden Summit.


  The mountain road is entwined on the cliffs, and the steep places require both hands and feet, and there are some rock gaps where only one person can walk, which is a line of sky. It is said that the Jindao Gorge in this line of sky is about 90 meters deep. During this climb, I repeatedly admired the Cheng'en Temple at the foot of Fanjing Mountain and the old Jinding on the opposite side. With the difference in height, the flowing clouds floated among the scattered clouds. Fanjing Mountain is like poetry and painting, like smoke. Dream.


  To the top of Jindao Gorge, there is a five-meter-long stone arch bridge spanning the middle of the two gorges. There are two halls on the left and right sides of the golden top, which enshrine the present Buddha and the future Buddha respectively.





  There is also a huge stone on the golden top, which is called the platform of Falun. It is said that the bridge above the golden roof was built by the Eight Immortals Tieguai Li with the stones left over from the Nuwa Empress who repaired the sky.



  It is said that coming to Fanjing Mountain without climbing the Golden Summit is tantamount to coming in vain. Hongyun Jinding is also known as the cornucopia of Mount Fanjing. It is extremely rare. It is 94 meters from the foot of the peak to the top of the peak. It requires courage, patience and physical strength.



  It took 30 minutes to finally reach Hongyun Jinding, and finally to see all the small mountains. The floating clouds on the mountainside sometimes flow quickly and block the impenetrable wind below the mountain.



  The top and bottom of Hongyun Jinding are one-way streets, which increase safety and facilitate tourists, so no matter whether you go up or down, it will not affect the time and speed. On the way down, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Fanjing Mountain and the magical sea of ​​clouds.

Level 7 Pagoda Stone - Mushroom Stone



  Walk forward from Pudu Square and climb several steps to reach Mushroom Stone. Mushroom Stone is a place where you must check in when you come to Fanjing Mountain. This Mushroom Stone is dark in color and shaped like a mushroom. group photo. Or you may have heard the name of the Mushroom Stone for a long time, but seeing it once is better than hearing it a hundred times. The Mushroom Stone, which is about 10 meters high, has stood here for 1.4 billion years, so it is also known as the "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.




  Further on from Mushroom Stone is the Nine Emperors Cave. The so-called Nine Emperors refer to the emperors above Shennong. It is said that there was a Nine Dragons who practiced here and were later named Nine Emperors. What attracts me is indeed the traces of time written on the moss on the wall.

  Where there are mountains, there should be water to show its spirituality and vividness. The water in Fanjing Mountain is famous for its purity: the 2,000-meter altitude is continuous, filtering out the turmoil of worldly affairs, and nourishing a pure mind between heaven and earth.
The "Tao Te Ching" says: The highest goodness is like water, water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is more than Tao. "
Water is soft, soft and beautiful, and its beauty is indisputable and nourishes all living beings in the world.



  The meandering creek in Heiwanhe Canyon passes through the obstacles of thousands of stones and flows continuously. On the way, there are many postures. Between the flowing water and the clear stream, there are thousands of Lingshi and green moss floating. When you come to Mount Fanjing, you want both Leshan and Leshui.

Wonder of Fanjing Mountain - Guanyin Waterfall




  I walked through the mossy stone steps with rich greenery, bypassed old trees and small stone bridges, and heard the sound of waterfalls—this is the most scenic view of Heihewan Waterfall—Guanyin Waterfall, a secret place hidden among green valleys, It's really gratifying, and the name of this waterfall also baffles me. It is clearly a river flowing down the mountain, flowing down along the stone, stirring up white water splashes, and it is just a beautiful scenery among the green mountains. Why is it called "Guanyin" waterfall"?


   When I was wondering, the people in the company told me, do you look like the beautiful silhouette of Guanyin Bodhisattva from this angle? I moved my footsteps and looked at it from another angle. Sure enough, Guanyin in white gauze appeared in front of my eyes with the flow of water. She was hidden among the mountains and green valleys, but she appeared in the continuous stream of streams. A place that can be called a secret place, I ran up and down the steps repeatedly, trying to see this waterfall Guanyin from all angles.


  Legend has it that there used to be a black dragon here who did evil, but was subdued by Guanyin hidden by the waterfall, and the black dragon became a blue dragon from then on. In order to supervise the little green dragon not to do evil in the future, Guanyin Bodhisattva turned the waterfall into his own image to suppress the little green dragon.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step——Wanbu Ladder



  Speaking of the Wanbu Ladder, I have to say that before there was no cableway, climbing Mount Fanjing required physical strength and endurance. The Wanbu Ladder is the earliest climbing route of Fanjing Mountain. It is said that if you have good physical strength, you need to climb three to four times. Hour. I looked at the Wanbu Ladder and was not only grateful that there was a cableway that took me directly to the mountain at an altitude of 2100 meters, but I had to use the fastest speed to meet the beautiful scenery of Fanjing Mountain.



  Of course, this 10,000-meter ladder is still worth a try, you can try to climb a section of the mountain road. Nowadays, there are few people here and there are not many tourists here. Listening to the sound of the stream and watching the road surrounded by autumn, the people with green moss on the stone are like stories one after another, making this place beautiful and quiet. Now it is more suitable for couples A place where friends go for a walk, climb hand in hand, and meet for heart-to-heart talks.


  What attracts me most here is the beauty of the vegetation. With the singing of the stream, the cool ladder winds, whether you are going forward or looking back, it is a beautiful scenery.

  At the beginning of the ten-thousand-step ladder, I refused in my heart, but as the beautiful scenery continued to pass by my eyes, I actually had the idea of ​​climbing this ladder in my heart. Just this thought already made me feel that the beautiful scenery is in front of me, and all the fatigue is worthless. No problem. Although it is very late in the evening and time does not allow me to climb, the beauty of the mountains along the way is something that many tourists have never seen.

Zhaisha Dong Village——Tasting Dong Cuisine




  Zhaisha Dong Village is a natural fortress where the Dong people live together. The folk customs are simple and rich in style. The natural scenery here is integrated with the customs of the Dong family. The whole Dong village is arranged according to the courtyard, connected by stone lanes and flowing water scenery. There are 78 Dong family wooden buildings, the Houshan tourist road, the Dong village gate, the Dong village suspension bridge, and the large cultural square in the village. amorous feelings.


  After admiring the night view of Zhaisha Dong Village, I ate authentic Guizhou cuisine, which is typical without spicy, sour and oily.

  The dinner is rich, the chicken hot pot is the main theme, the delicious Mashi grilled fish, green pepper fish, dried bamboo shoots and bacon, smashed scrambled eggs, capers, etc., the most interesting is the mountain fern, this is the first time I eat Considering such authentic Dong food, this dish sounds a bit sticky, but it tastes good, and the production process is also very complicated. The first dinner in Mount Fanjing was eaten here. The hospitable Dong people presented all the wine and food on the table, which made us full.

Stay at the Dong Family B&B - You can't stay here






  Dong villages are mostly built near mountains and rivers, and the building materials are mostly made of wood or bamboo. I prefer a room in such a quiet courtyard. The warm lights sweep away the tiredness of the day, and a room is hung by four thick hemp ropes. The bed is romantic and natural, and the color of the quilt is also clean and simple. The bathroom is also a small surprise, with necessities neatly and orderly placed. On nights like this, sitting in a rocking chair in a small courtyard and chatting with friends, or listening to music and reading a book alone under the lamp, no matter what, it is the best good time.

Travel thousands of miles, eat thousands of delicacies


Eating in Zuixiangge restaurant—firewood chicken is always the choice of hospitality for Guizhou people. I am afraid that many people have never eaten cured pork feet in clear soup. Compensation for defective products, the taste really does not disappoint. The tiger skin green pepper is salty and delicious. Of course, the spiciness is also very good, which is not enjoyed by ordinary people. Steamed red cake is the most amazing dish on the table, suitable for girls. Although the table is full of Guizhou dishes, I have to mention Yuju, the green mountains and beautiful waters here, the most delicious, most delicious, and the most tender is tofu, no matter what kind of dish it is made of, it is my favorite.

Dianzui Pavilion




  Speaking of this delicious meal, the most memorable thing for me is the chicken oatmeal soup. When we talk about oatmeal, what we think of is instant food for breakfast. The oatmeal soup here is not yo, it is real After several processes, it is refined with noodles, and it tastes chewy. The most amazing thing about this meal is the pickled radish strips, which are bright in color and crisp and sweet in taste. The pickled pepper sausage is also a challenge to the taste buds.

  Food is always the best comfort on the road of travel. Every food culture has been inherited and accumulated for thousands of years. What is presented to us today is not only a series of delicacies, but also not only the names of dishes, but also fireworks and folk customs.

postscript:



  Every time I go to Guizhou, I will get surprises. Brahma Pure Land enjoys the autumn scenery. I am determined not to look at the mountains after the red cloud and golden summit. After the 2100-altitude cableway, I no longer look at the sea of ​​clouds in the world... The beauty of Fanjing Mountain is beyond my imagination, and it is a scene of beautiful scenery that is permanently implanted in my life. The delicious food in Tongren makes foodies reluctant to leave.


  Waving farewell to Fanjing Mountain, I look forward to meeting you in the future, and encountering the Red Clouds and Golden Summits.
