You have to visit Fenghuang Mountain in Dazhou! It's breathtakingly beautiful.😭 🚗Transportation It's very convenient to get there from downtown Dazhou. You can easily get there by taxi or bus. If you're driving, there's a parking lot at the foot of the mountain, so parking is also very convenient. You don't have to worry about transportation at all. 🌳Natural scenery As soon as I stepped onto Fenghuang Mountain, I was greeted by the fresh scent of grass and trees—the unique smell of nature. It instantly enveloped me. Walking along the winding mountain road, all I could see was lush vegetation. The evergreen pines and cypresses stood tall and straight, like loyal guards protecting the mountain. Wildflowers of all colors—red, yellow, purple—bloomed freely, dotting the green landscape like stars. It was gorgeous! Climbing halfway up the mountain, you can see a clear spring. The spring water is crystal clear, and the stones and gravel at the bottom are clearly visible. I scooped up a handful of spring water and splashed it on my face. It was icy cold, and all my fatigue was swept away. The spring water flows down the mountain, converging into a small stream. The stream gurgles, playing a beautiful natural melody. Climbing further up, the view becomes even wider. When I stood at the top of the mountain, I was truly amazed by the scenery! The whole city of Dazhou was in full view—the scattered buildings, the busy streets, and the winding Zhou River in the distance formed a beautiful urban picture. On a foggy day, Fenghuang Mountain looks like a fairyland, with clouds and mist swirling around the mountain peaks, making them appear and disappear, as if you were in a dreamlike ink painting. 🏯Cultural attractions Fenghuang Mountain is not only charming for its natural scenery but also for its cultural attractions. There is an ancient temple on the mountain—Fenghuang Temple. With its red walls, green tiles, and upturned eaves, it looks particularly solemn and majestic against the backdrop of green trees. Entering the temple, the melodious sound of bells brings instant peace to your heart. The Buddha statues in the temple are exquisitely carved and lifelike, carrying a profound Buddhist cultural heritage. Here, you can light a stick of incense, make a wish, and feel the tranquility and peace. In addition, there are many poems and inscriptions left by famous people. Strolling along the mountain paths, you will come across powerful calligraphy on the stone walls. They transcend time and space, telling stories of the past, making you marvel at the breadth and depth of Chinese culture. 🍜Food experience After all that sightseeing, you definitely need to try the local cuisine. At the snack street at the foot of the mountain, all kinds of local delicacies are on display. Dengying shredded beef, thin as a cicada's wing and bright red in color, is spicy, savory, and crispy. There's also Suan La Fen, with its chewy and smooth noodles in a rich broth. One bite and you'll be hooked on the sour and spicy flavor. Besides these, there are also Tangyou Guozi, Bingfen, and other snacks, each bite a taste of Dazhou. 💡Tips for visiting It is recommended to visit in spring or autumn, when the weather is pleasant and the scenery is even more beautiful. Wear comfortable sneakers, as climbing the mountain can be a bit strenuous. Bring some snacks and water to replenish your energy along the way.
