What is there in Guizhou Province? As "eight mountains, one water and one field", Guizhou has innumerable natural resources.
Adjacent to Hunan in the east, Guangxi in the south, Yunnan in the west, and Sichuan and Chongqing in the north, if you look at the neighbors of Guizhou, you will know that as a child of the motherland in the southwest hinterland, Guizhou's scenery must not be much worse.
This time we went to this mountain tourism province to check in. We saw Fanjing Mountain in Guizhou, and also went to the Shuanghe Valley Karst Cave, underground cracks, Qingxi Gorge and other magnificent landscapes in the "Behind Twelve" scenic spot. Today Let's take a tour with everyone!
Mount Fanjing
There are five famous Buddhist mountains in China - Mount Wutai in Shanxi, Mount Jiuhua in Anhui, Mount Putuo in Zhejiang, Mount Emei in Sichuan, and the other one is the [Fanjing Mountain] in Guizhou. At the same time, Mount Fanjing is also one of China's top ten famous summer resorts, a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction, and a national nature reserve.
When I first arrived at the foot of Fanjing Mountain, someone said that there are four celestial wonders in Fanjing Mountain, namely cloud waterfall, Zen mist, phantom, and Buddha light. Ah, that means you didn't come to Fanjing Mountain, you have to come again next time.
However, these Tianshan Mountains are foggy and the visibility is extremely low. We may be true Buddhist youths, and we are not impatient at all. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva can summon the five aggregates to be empty. "Impermanence", everything in the world is in motion and change, not static.
If you see through the "emptiness", you will know how to let go of your obsessions. Since the celestial phenomena are beyond your control, you don't need to pay extra effort for it. Follow its development, and you may be able to see a different artistic conception and beauty.
I arrived at the entrance of the scenic spot early in the morning. Although it was not raining, it was still cloudy and foggy. I bought a rain poncho, linen gloves and other climbing equipment and prepared to go. I heard that there are 8888 steps on the way from the bottom of the mountain to the top.
As a pious baby, of course I chose the cable car. This weather is simply a benefit for those who are afraid of heights. There are no shadows of trees three meters away. Sitting in the cable car, except for the occasional carriage from the opposite side, I can’t see the outside scenery at all. On this occasion, it should be appropriate to broadcast a "Great Compassion Mantra".
Speaking of the "Heart Sutra" translated by Master Sanzang, only the last mantra retains the original Sanskrit sound: "Uncover the truth and uncover the truth, Paramita reveals the truth, Parasangha reveals the truth, Bodhisattva."
Meaning: Go, go, go to the other side, to reach that endless joy. It fits well with the scenery on the cable car.
big
It took about 20 minutes to reach the other end of the cable car. This is not the end of victory, but the beginning of a challenge. From the cable car point to Pudu Square and Cheng'en Temple, there are about 1,800 steps.
If you want to go to the Golden Dome from Pudu Square, you will have a tortuous and steep road to go.
After getting off the cable car, the snow and fog filled the air, as if living in a large natural humidifier. The wind brought rain and fog, which directly wetted the clothes and hair. down to the bone.
Under the entanglement of the mist, the mountain ridge faintly reveals a little trace. If it is not for the body to endure the torture of the bitter cold at this moment, it will make people feel that it is too illusory.
Regardless of our feet, we kept looking sideways at the distance on the way up the mountain. Even if we couldn't see the four great celestial phenomena, we only saw this, and felt that the trip was worthwhile. Although the cold wind cuts the face like a knife, it is only used as physical austerity to purify the soul for a moment, and the heart is still full of joy.
The rain and mist are like a will of the Bodhisattva, treating all things in the world equally, and wherever it passes by, they are all covered with a layer of frost.
It lies on the haystacks, among the branches, beside the stone pillars, and under the iron chains... We have long been afraid of the cold wind, and suddenly we find that our hair is the same. The hair refers to the cold wind passing through them. direction.
Looking at the scenery on one side, I don’t know how many roads I walked, and then I looked up to Pudu Square, where the solemn Cheng’en Temple is located.
The fog is so thick that the apse could not be seen from the front temple, which adds a special layer of color to the temple, as if you are in the clouds of the Nine Heavens, imagining that there are fairies passing by on ribbons from a distance.
Stopped at Pudu Square for a while, and heard that the old and new golden roofs that were originally closed have now been opened and the old golden roof can move forward, so we continued to face the wind. Bypassing the square, you can continue to go up the mountain road on the side of Cheng'en Temple, and looking farther, the temple becomes more and more mysterious.
The originally weak vegetation and branches can still point directly to the sky after being frozen with thick ice crystals, which seems to be a kind of reverse growth that deviates from the law.
Imagine, looking back, not seeing where you came from, let alone the person who came, what kind of state of mind is it like to be alone in the pure land of Brahma and looking at the same dazed footsteps?
Going back several hundred steps, we came to a small platform, where another natural landscape of Mount Fanjing—the Mushroom Rock is located.
At this time, the snow and fog had reached the level of "storms and rainstorms", and no naked body was allowed to face it directly. My fingers were frozen and stiff, and I couldn't hold the camera steadily. I had to retract every few shots to recover my body temperature.
On the stone wall, crystal orchids carved in ice and snow bloomed in the wind.
There is no snow on Fanjing Mountain, but there is already a magnificent scene of white snow. This is the biggest harvest of this trip to Guizhou, a different environment from the clear sky.
After about half an hour of climbing, there was a section of the road that went straight up the wall, and finally reached the old golden roof. There is a small temple on the top, the Lantern Temple. However, it seems that people do not come in and out very often, and it is not open. It is mysterious. To be able to make up a fairy tale.
As the main peak of the Wuling Mountains, Fanjing Mountain has finally reached the peak of the main peak step by step, 2494 meters, and the heart is extremely at ease. Just as we climbed to the top, the snow and mist slowly dissipated, as if a ray of sunlight shone down, and the sun dyed a halo behind the clouds and mist.
The sea of clouds surrounds the peaks and fills the mountains and valleys. This is the most unique charm that nature bestows on plateaus and mountains. The beautiful scenery on the way up the mountain is already an unexpected harvest. This scene of the sea of clouds may be a special gift from the Buddha to the brave.
What is the peak of the king? That is, you should go downhill all the time~ Yes, as the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain. Although it is not easy to go up the mountain, the thousands of steps back from the original road are still a bit daunting.
As the noon approached, the temperature gradually rose, and the ice and snow on the branches began to melt and slide down, and there were rustling sounds on the mountain road.
There are more than 2,000 species of plants and more than 800 animals in Mount Fanjing, among which the big and small cuckoos are the most famous. In ancient times, there was a saying "the cuckoo crows when the poplar flowers fall." The cuckoo in Li Bai's mouth and the cuckoo in Brother Xun's mouth are both Refers to this kind of bird. However, I didn’t meet Dujuan on the way down the mountain, but I saw several chubby and chubby ones. Let’s call him “Angry Birds” for now.
Why is it named after anger? I believe that after reading these pictures, everyone has the answer in their hearts.
So far, the journey of Mount Fanjing has been shared with everyone. I don’t know what you think of this scenery.
Not being able to see the Buddha’s light is not without Buddha’s fate. After all, Guizhou was closed a few days after returning, and my colleague’s mother was forced to cancel her entire trip to Guizhou. She couldn’t even go to Guizhou, so it’s called no Buddha’s fate (funny face )
Of course, the most recommended Fanjing Mountain in this trip is a must-see scenery in Guizhou. Of course, I said that Guizhou’s natural landscape is so rich, and I recommend a few more: Yamugou, which is also in Tongren City, not far from Fanjing Mountain, and Located in the "Twelve Behind" Shuanghe Cave and Qingxi Gorge Scenic Area in Zunyi City.
Yamugou
Yamugou is located at the foot of Fanjing Mountain in Tongren, Guizhou Province. Since it is around Fanjing Mountain and there are such fresh air scenery, how can we give up.
Yamugou originated from "the source of Wuling", known as "the first ditch in Guizhou" and "colorful canyon". , green mountains and green peaks, water is the soul.
You can see gurgling streams in this winter, but you can imagine waiting until the summer with abundant precipitation, what a paradise scene of flowing water and rhyme, the air is so fresh that one more breath can make you live a year longer, haha.
There are many large and small waterfalls in Yamugou. If you take a closer look, on one side of the stone bridge is a clear and loud waterfall, which is as strong as a flying dragon, while on the other side of the stone bridge, the stream seems to stop abruptly. Quiet and silent, like a sleeping crouching dragon.
There is also a very interesting stone sign here, which says pay attention to water animals, which really makes people's hairs stand on end, and can't help but feel a little cute.
There is no hustle and bustle here, only the sound of water, birdsong, and the sound of the breeze drying the woods. The negative oxygen ion content in the air is extremely high. After absorbing enough smog in the concrete forest, walking here is an accident. enjoyment.
If you come to Mount Fanjing, don’t miss such a unique scenery!
Shuanghe Cave
Shuanghe Cave National Geological Park is located in Suiyang County, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province. Let’s list a few of its names first—“China’s Longest Cave”, “The World’s Longest Dolomite Cave”, “ The world's largest lapis lazuli cave"...
After 30 years of joint investigation by Chinese and foreign cave experts, as of now, the total length of the proven karst cave group is 200.427 kilometers, with huge volume and rich geological resources.
The Shuanghe Valley we went to first, which is composed of underground river valleys, tiankengs, and gypsum caves. Entering from the now open entrance, I can't help but think of various scenes in "Ghost Blowing Lantern"-"Looking for dragons and dividing gold to see winding mountains, a heavy Entanglement is a key..." Surprise, excitement, and mysterious atmosphere have been walking around us, at our fingertips, and between our steps.
When it comes to imagination, all babies who have visited the cave landscape across the country know that no matter how big the cave is, it is not as brainy as the staff who named the various stones in the cave, haha.
For example, this stone looks like a tortoise, this is a tortoise shell, that is a tortoise head, that stalactite is like the Eighteen Arhats with Avalokitesvara, there is a white bone spirit on the right, and the four masters and apprentices who are learning Buddhist scriptures from the west are on the left...
Three points depend on image, seven points depend on imagination, the benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom, but people without imagination really have a question mark face. After a long time, I was afraid of being regarded as mentally handicapped. Even if I didn't imagine it, I couldn't help nodding and sighing: Oh! Really like ah hey!
There is also a spectacle in the cave - the gate to the center of the earth. The depth is still unknown. The previous detection scientists went down for several days and nights and did not reach the end. In addition, there is an underground river, so it is difficult to survey. The gate to the center of the earth leads to the direction of Chongqing.
But having said that, the various wonders in the cave are also very beautiful, and I really like the lighting arrangement in the cave, which is mainly in blue and purple tones. It is not like the caves in other places, which are all colorful and tacky.
Sometimes looking down at the bottom of the feet, there is a bottomless abyss or water flow under the metal frame, which is very thrilling and interesting.
Walk for about an hour along the stone road and the elevated road, and you can walk through the first large cave.
After leaving the underground valley, there is a tiankeng. Looking up to the sky, it is like entering a peach blossom garden, and you have to walk a section of open-air mountain road before entering the next gypsum cave. All kinds of exquisite interlacing are very good.
After the mountain road, there is the second karst cave. After passing the karst cave and going down the mountain, you will return to the entrance of the scenic spot. There is no turning back in the whole process, so babies with poor feet, think twice!
Let’s popularize the name “Twelve Behind” here again. Why is it called “Twelve Behind”? In fact, it is a gimmick by the developers of the scenic spot, and it does not actually refer to a certain place or scenic spot. There are 12 months in a year, and there are 12 points when the clock goes around. There are twelve zodiac signs in China. "Family", "Lover", "Friends", and "Children" are all 12 strokes. 12 here means happiness. So this name is very connotative!
underground fissure
Like the Shuanghe Valley, the underground crack scenic spot belongs to the Shuanghe Cave Scenic Spot in Suiyang County, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province. The cave is named for its large underground cracks.
The cave is divided into three layers, and through the underground river, it connects with other caves. The temperature in the cave is around 15 degrees Celsius all year round, and the air is fresh. It is a natural oxygen bar with a high concentration of negative oxygen ions.
Among them, there are more than 120 scenic spots, including Taihu Stone, stalactites, waterfalls in caves, underground rivers and other landscapes. Suiyang County Chronicle records that Zhang Sanfeng once practiced Taoism here in the early Ming Dynasty. Among the rocks in the cave, there are plants growing in this stone.
There are often uncomfortable places in the corridors of the entire cave, and I think of a sentence in "Peach Blossom Spring" that "the beginning is extremely narrow, and only then can you understand people".
The crack gradually widens from top to bottom, with a total length of about 400 meters and a maximum of about 80 meters.
It's hard to imagine that tourists have to shuttle through such a small gap, which is really a test of body, a natural cave that is not friendly to fat people! I really feel that comrades who weigh more than 200 should be cautious when entering, I feel wronged.
Why is the light from this stone so familiar! ? emmm, I named it [Douyin Stone], everyone should have no objection, right? Hahaha
The picture above can be imagined as three of the quartet of Buddhist scriptures, and it can be seen which one is Tang Sengbo! ?
Originally, there was a large stone standing on the extremely narrow road, and the body had to turn around many times to pass it, so it is called "the stone turns", which is very auspicious~
Come to Shuanghe Scenic Spot, this scenic spot is only a ten-minute drive away from Shuanghe Valley, don't miss it!
Qingxi Gorge
This time I came to our province of karst caves, Guizhou, and what I walked was the relatively small scenery.
Not far from Shuanghedong National Geological Park, there is another Qingxi Gorge Scenic Area. There are Qingxi Gorge Cruises, Qingxi River Canyon Rafting, Qingxi Xiadu Villa, Wufengling, Jiudaomen and Jinzhong Mountain in the scenic area. and other attractions.
In Qingxi Gorge, you can see peaks, forests, lakes, waterfalls, mountains, rocks, springs, pagodas, temples and many other landscapes. The lower reaches of Qingxi Gorge are still under development, and more landscapes will be open to tourists, but even now, you can enjoy a lot of landscapes by taking a cruise ship in Qingxi Gorge for an hour.
The most recommended and most suitable for tourists, especially the elderly and children, is to take a painting boat on the water to enjoy the lakes and mountains on both sides.
Now in winter, the water level of the Qingxi River is at its lowest, but it still has a depth of 34 meters. Generally, when the river water reaches a depth of more than two meters, it will produce color. The water in Qingxi Gorge is hard water rich in minerals, so it shows a green color, and the water in Jiuzhaigou, which we are familiar with, is blue, which is the expression of rich copper ions.
Swimming on both sides of the canyon, sometimes I don't know whether it is the reflection of the rocks in the water or the rocks growing out of the water.
Here, like a karst cave, rich imagination is required. Looking at the stones on both sides, some look like turtles, some look like sheep drinking water, and some look like dinosaurs coming out of the cave. The speed of brainstorming must be as fast as Get on board fast!
It is said that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, but there are various kinds of fish with rich quality growing in Qingxi Gorge. On the river banks on both sides, there are often villagers with idle fishing rods leaning on the cliffs. Will go down the small mountain road to fish.
In Qingxi Gorge in winter, there will be water birds migrating from the north - mandarin ducks, yes, the fat and small mandarin ducks are also migratory birds that are good at flying. This kind of bird, which has been misunderstood by the Chinese for thousands of years, is actually not very loyal to its partner, which is really a shame.
It takes about an hour to finish this beautiful scenery by taking a cruise ship. Guizhou is really a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers~
Twin Rivers Inn
For accommodation recommendation, first recommend [Shuanghe Inn] in Shuanghedong Scenic Area. The reason for the recommendation is: it is in the scenic area, and you can directly walk to Shuanghe Cave and Shuanghe Valley Scenic Area.
The hotel is transformed from the former village, that is, the folk houses in northern Guizhou. The wooden structure of the building is very well combined with nature. Living here makes people feel very relaxed and happy.
Qingxi Gorge Villa
The second one is [Qingxixia Villa], also called [Color Hotel]. The reason for recommendation is: it is in the scenic area, and you can walk directly to Qingxixia Scenic Area.
The hotel was built by the famous designer Guo Yufei. The reason why it is called the Color Hotel is that once you enter the lobby, it is not difficult to find that whether it is floor tiles or decorations, they are all full of bright colors, colliding and merging.
Mount Fanjing Borui Holiday Hotel
The third hotel [Fanjingshan Borui Resort Hotel], although it is not in the scenic area this time! But the drive is only a few minutes, very close, haha.
This hotel is mainly for vacation and leisure, especially suitable for friends who travel in a light and luxurious way. Come to the foot of Fanjing Mountain to enjoy and play slowly~
After reading all the sharing of this trip to Guizhou, I don’t know if you are fascinated by the great Guizhou. The beautiful place has its own beauty all year round. You will never miss it when you go!
