💚💖💛Mount Fanjing, located in Tongren City, Guizhou Province, is a national 5A-rated scenic spot, a national nature reserve, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I visited Mount Fanjing with a tour group in August 2024. While the temperature at the foot of the mountain was over 37 degrees Celsius, the summit was comfortably cool. The ticket price is 100 yuan per person, with various preferential policies available. The one-day tour route is a loop, using the cable car for both ascent and descent. The main attractions along the way include Mushroom Rock, Cheng'en Temple, Old Golden Summit, and Red Cloud Golden Summit. Access to Red Cloud Golden Summit requires advance booking, and it's generally recommended to choose between Old Golden Summit and Red Cloud Golden Summit. 🌈Attraction Introduction🌈 Mushroom Rock Mushroom Rock is one of Guizhou's iconic landmarks. Shaped like a mushroom, it's formed from layered rock left behind after weathering and erosion. It looks like something that flew down from the sky, or something that grew up from the earth, standing proudly on the mountaintop. Red Cloud Golden Summit Also known as New Golden Summit, it has an elevation of 2,336 meters. It's often surrounded by red clouds and auspicious air in the morning, and its name, which sounds similar to "Hongyun Jinding" (meaning "great luck golden summit"), carries the beautiful meaning of good fortune. The upper part of the Golden Summit is connected by a sky bridge, dividing it into two isolated peaks. The south peak houses the Sakyamuni Hall, dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha, while the north peak houses the Maitreya Hall, dedicated to Maitreya Buddha. This place is also known as the "Number One Peak Under Heaven." Old Golden Summit Mount Fanjing's Old Golden Summit has an elevation of 2,493 meters. On the Old Golden Summit is the Dipamkara Buddha Hall, dedicated to Dipamkara Buddha. Cheng'en Temple This is the main building of the temple complex on the summit of Mount Fanjing. It was rebuilt on the original site in 2009 and completed in 2011. It's a place of serenity and solemnity, filled with the fragrance of burning incense.💙💜❤️

#chinatravel Mount Fanjing is straight-up magical. It’s in Tongren, Guizhou, and feels like a place ripped out of a fantasy movie. Think misty peaks, ancient temples on crazy cliffs, and views that’ll make you stop mid-hike just to stare. You can hike up (prepare for a ton of stairs) or take the cable car if you’re not feeling super energetic. Either way, the top is unreal. There’s this insane rock formation called Red Clouds Golden Summit with two little temples perched way up, and a narrow stone bridge connecting them. It looks impossible but people cross it every day. The vibe is peaceful but powerful, like the mountain’s holding ancient secrets. It’s also a UNESCO World Heritage site, so yeah, it’s kind of a big deal. Bring snacks, water, layers (it gets chilly fast), and good shoes. And take your time, this isn’t a race. Mount Fanjing isn’t just a hike, it’s an experience. One of the most epic spots in Guizhou, hands down.

When the clouds part over Fanjingshan, its extraordinary peaks take your breath away. The simple and tranquil Yunshe Village carries a faint aroma of matcha, while the historically rich Zhongnanmen Ancient Town preserves memories of bygone eras—the beauty of Tongren lies in the ever-changing mountain vistas and the lively atmosphere of its alleyways. Day 1: ⛰ Fanjingshan: The Stunning Peaks Emerging from the Clouds Climbing the Hongyun Golden Summit feels like a spiritual journey. The 2,336-meter-high stone steps fade in and out of the mist, and the damp air makes each step heavier. When I reached the summit, thick fog enveloped me—until a mountain breeze suddenly swept through, parting the clouds like a curtain. Sunlight poured down, revealing the Hongyun Golden Summit in all its unguarded glory. The Mushroom Stone stands quietly by the cliff edge, as if it has been waiting for eons. In that moment, I finally understood why ancient people called this place "Brahma's Pure Land." 🏡 Qisu: A Riverside Oasis After descending, I checked into Qisu Fanjingshan Lodge, a standalone lakeside pod with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides—perfect for stargazing from bed. Stepping outside, I was greeted by lush greenery. The stream gurgled over pebbles like scattered musical notes. A picnic blanket was already laid out on the lawn—ideal for flipping through travel magazines or running barefoot on the cool grass, with the layered mountains in the distance resembling an ink-wash painting in motion. At night, I fell asleep to the murmuring stream. In the morning, opening the window, I was met with mountain mist carrying the scent of grass and trees. Here, even daydreaming becomes an activity—watching dragonflies skim the water, waiting for a cloud to drift over the peak, or counting the tiny fish in the stream. Day 2: 🛖 Yunshe Village: A Matcha and Rice Wine Encounter Dubbed "China's First Tujia Village" by National Geographic, this place still preserves Ming- and Qing-era Tujia barrel houses, nestled harmoniously among the mountains. At a local matcha shop, I ordered a cup of matcha rice wine. The barista expertly whisked the dark green powder in a celadon bowl until a fine foam formed, then added sweet homemade rice wine—creating an unexpectedly layered flavor. 🏯 Zhongnanmen Ancient Town: Frozen in Time Walking through this Ming-dynasty town, I paused beneath the "Father-Son Imperial Scholars Archway," touching its weathered carvings to feel the glory of a scholarly family from the imperial examination era. Visit at dusk when lanterns light up, and the upturned eaves cast silhouettes against the twilight—transporting you 600 years back in time. 🥘 Tongren's Flavors: Between Wilderness and City Life ✔ Smoked Pork Knuckle Hotpot: Tender, smoky knuckles stewed with pickled greens and potatoes, rich and savory. ✔ Jiangkou Rice Tofu: Silky rice tofu topped with chili oil and pickled radish, refreshing and light. ✔ Songtao Braised Duck: Duck marinated in a secret braising sauce, firm-textured with a sweet-salty balance. ✔ Matcha Rice Wine: Hand-whisked matcha meets Tujia sweet rice wine—bitter at first, then sweetly lingering. On my last day, I packed some Fanjingshan green tea. "The beauty of Tongren," I thought, "should be savored slowly, like tea." Those moments when the clouds parted, the tea fragrance drifting from ancient villages—all became the most tender patina of memory.

In northeastern Guizhou lies a heavenly sanctuary - Mount Fanjing. Like a pearl untouched by the world, it radiates a unique and captivating brilliance that draws countless travelers. As a travel blogger who loves mountains, embarking on a journey to Mount Fanjing was a soul-cleansing experience that left an indelible mark on my heart. ⛱️Must-Visit Attractions: 1. Red Cloud Golden Peak: This is Mount Fanjing's most iconic landmark, resembling a celestial city rising from the earth. Standing as a solitary peak at 2,336m, its upper section splits into two parts connected by a bridge. The two sides enshrine Sakyamuni Buddha and Maitreya Buddha respectively, exuding sacred grandeur amid the swirling clouds. Climbing Red Cloud Golden Peak is both a challenge and a scenic adventure. The narrow, steep paths and nearly vertical steps require both hands and feet to climb. However, when you finally reach the summit and gaze down at the rolling sea of clouds and distant mountain ranges, with fresh breezes weaving through the peaks, all fatigue vanishes. Your soul is overwhelmed by the magnificent landscape, feeling as if you could touch the clouds with your hands. 2. Mushroom Rock: As Mount Fanjing's "image ambassador," it has stood firm through wind and rain for billions of years. Its unique shape, larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, resembles both a mushroom and a giant spinning top descended from heaven, firmly rooted at the mountain peak. The Mushroom Rock presents different appearances under various weather conditions and times. On sunny days, sunlight reveals its clear rock textures, telling ancient geological stories. In misty weather, it appears and disappears like a mysterious guardian in a dreamlike fairyland, attracting visitors to stop and capture these magical moments. 3. Old Golden Peak: At 2,494m, it's Mount Fanjing's highest peak. Though challenging, the climb is full of surprises. Along the way, peculiar rocks form unique landscapes like the Ten Thousand Sutras and Eagle Rock. The Ten Thousand Sutras resembles neatly stacked ancient books, their pages seemingly turned by time, emanating an ancient and mysterious aura. Eagle Rock looks like a majestic eagle about to take flight, its sharp gaze fixed on the distance as if guarding the mountain's tranquility. Standing at the summit of Old Golden Peak offers an expansive view of endless mountain ranges and dense forests, allowing you to truly experience nature's grandeur and masterful craftsmanship. 4. Cheng'en Temple: Located in the saddle between Red Cloud Golden Peak and Old Golden Peak, it's the core of Mount Fanjing's temple complex. This ancient temple has a long history and solemn architectural style, its red walls and yellow tiles standing out against the green mountains and trees. Inside, incense smoke curls upward amid Buddhist chants, creating a peaceful atmosphere that inspires reverence. Here, you can devoutly worship Buddha statues, experience the profound Buddhist culture, or quietly sit on the temple steps, listening to pine winds and bird songs while letting your thoughts drift in this pure land. 🍜Food Guide: 1. Inside the Scenic Area: Mountain climbing consumes energy, but fortunately there are foods to comfort your taste buds. The top recommendation is Mount Fanjing's special rice tofu, with a tender, jelly-like texture that melts in your mouth. Paired with spicy seasonings, it's sour and spicy, instantly dispelling fatigue and bringing happiness with every bowl. Roasted sweet potatoes are also available - holding a hot, fragrant, and soft sweet potato while enjoying the scenery in the cold mountain air is incredibly pleasant. Additionally, cup noodles are a popular choice among tourists, convenient and quick to prepare in rest areas for warmth and satiety. 2. Outside the Scenic Area: After descending to nearby towns, food options become more diverse. Jiangkou rice tofu is a local specialty, different from that inside the scenic area with a firmer, chewier texture. Topped with special sauce, crushed peanuts, green onions, and other seasonings, it creates a perfect blend of rice and bean flavors that lingers on the palate. Don't miss She Fan, a traditional dish made with glutinous rice, artemisia, and preserved meat. The soft glutinous rice combines the fresh aroma of artemisia and the rich flavor of preserved meat, creating a unique taste that's both refreshing and satisfying. Additionally, sour fish soup is a local specialty - tender fish cooked in appetizing sour soup, served with smooth rice noodles, creates a dance of sour, spicy, fresh, and aromatic flavors on your tongue, making every bite an ultimate enjoyment. 🏨Accommodation Guide: 1. Inside the Scenic Area: To experience Mount Fanjing's morning beauty firsthand, staying within the scenic area is a good choice. The area has several resort hotels and guesthouses. Hotels near the cable car entrance offer convenient access, allowing you to start your mountain climb leisurely in the morning. Mountain guesthouses provide a serene environment with views of green trees and mountains from your window, letting you fall asleep to nature's sounds and wake up to fresh air, like being in a paradise. However, accommodation inside the scenic area is relatively expensive and requires advance booking. 2. Around the Scenic Area: Surrounding areas offer more diverse and cost-effective accommodation options. Jiangkou County, not far from the scenic area, has various star-rated hotels, budget hotels, and guesthouses. Star-rated hotels provide complete facilities and attentive service, suitable for those seeking high-quality stays; budget hotels offer affordable prices and convenient transportation to the scenic area; guesthouses each have their own characteristics, some featuring local folk customs, allowing you to experience local life and culture deeply. 3. Fanjing Mountain Town: Located closer to the scenic area, its guesthouses and farmstays are popular among tourists. Mostly run by locals, they offer comfortable accommodation with warm hospitality, travel tips, and local stories, all at reasonable prices, making them a top choice for backpackers. 🚄Transportation Guide: 1. Public Transportation: To reach Mount Fanjing from other places, first arrive at Tongren city, which has both high-speed rail and regular train stations. From either Tongren Station or Tongren South Station, take a bus to Jiangkou County, then transfer to public buses or special lines to the scenic area. Public buses are cheaper but less frequent, so check schedules in advance; special lines are more convenient but slightly more expensive. During peak tourist seasons, some cities operate direct tourist buses to the scenic area, providing convenient one-stop service. 2. Self-driving: Driving to Mount Fanjing offers more flexibility and allows you to enjoy Guizhou's beautiful scenery along the way. From Tongren, take the Hangzhou-Ruili Expressway and exit at Jiangkou toll station, then follow navigation to the scenic area. There are several parking lots around the scenic area with reasonable fees. However, during holidays, expect more self-driving tourists and plan accordingly to avoid traffic jams. 💗Additional Tips: 1. Mount Fanjing's weather is changeable - even on sunny days, fog or rain may suddenly appear on the mountain. Always bring rain gear and warm clothing like windbreakers and raincoats to prepare for weather changes. 2. Before climbing, prepare some light food and water, such as chocolate, beef jerky, and mineral water, for energy during the climb. Wear comfortable sports shoes or hiking boots to protect your feet and make climbing easier. 3. Mount Fanjing gets crowded, especially during holidays and peak seasons. Queuing for cable cars and climbing may take time. Consider buying tickets online in advance, plan your visit time, and try to avoid peak periods for a better experience. 4. The scenic area's ecosystem is fragile. Please protect all plants and trees, dispose of garbage properly, and maintain the area's cleanliness and beauty. When visiting temples, respect religious customs, maintain silence, and observe civilized behavior. Mount Fanjing, a pure land combining natural scenery, historical culture, and religious faith, satisfies all desires - whether you seek to challenge magnificent peaks, find inner peace, or explore ancient geological mysteries. Pack your bags and embark on your Mount Fanjing journey. You'll surely lose yourself in this otherworldly paradise and gain an unforgettable life experience.

Choose East-Up East-Down tickets (cable car round trip), West-Up West-Down tickets (hiking round trip), or West-Up East-Down tickets (hike up, cable car down). 2️⃣ Choose the earliest ticket time possible. You can enter the park later than the ticket time, but not earlier. Entry before 8:00 am is fine (the earliest is 6:00 am). 3️⃣ If you don't get tickets online, go to the East Gate Visitor Center the day before at 3:00 pm to buy tickets on-site (tickets are issued at 5:00 pm, but queuing early helps secure earlier entry times). 4️⃣ There are many discounts and free ticket policies for those born in the Year of the Dragon, Guangdong Province residents, seniors, teachers, medical staff, etc. If you buy full-price tickets online, you can get a refund at the visitor center with valid documentation.
