Fanjing Mountain in Tongren - Known as the City in the Sky

🏝14 billion years ago, Fanjing Mountain in Guizhou was a must-visit attraction in Guizhou with a strong Buddhist atmosphere. Fanjing Mountain is named after "Brahma Pure Land" and is the fifth largest Buddhist mountain in China. Fanjing Mountain, known as the "City in the Sky", is indeed a fascinating natural and cultural treasure as described by National Geographic. Fanjing Mountain is famous for its majestic mountains, undulating peaks and misty scenery. The clouds and mist are lingering all year round, especially at sunrise or after rain, the sea of clouds is rolling, the mountains are looming, it is refreshing, and it is like a fairyland on earth. 🏝Fanjing Mountain is located in the northeast of Guizhou Province, China. The mountain is tall and steep. During the geological history period, it was a marine environment. At the beginning of its formation, the magma activity at the bottom of the sea was frequent, and it continued to accept the deposition of seawater. The rocks exposed on the surface of Fanjing Mountain are mainly metamorphic rocks, while the low hills around Fanjing Mountain are karst landforms, so Fanjing Mountain has become a rare metamorphic rock "island" surrounded by karst low hills in Guizhou Province. 🏝The main peak of the Wuling Mountains is 2,572 meters above sea level. It is one of the earliest places in southern China to rise from the sea to land. It has a legacy of ancient and rare species from 70 million to 2 million years ago, and breeds more than 7,100 species of wild animals and plants. It is the only habitat for Guizhou golden monkeys. With a history of more than 2,000 years, Fanjing Mountain Buddhism was founded in the Tang Dynasty and prospered in the Ming Dynasty. The "Imperial Edict Monument" erected in the Ming Dynasty praised Fanjing Buddha Mountain as the "ancestor of all famous mountains in the world" that "stands in the world and does not destroy, and is the only one in the past and present". 🏝Red Cloud Golden Summit: 2,336 meters above sea level, at sunrise and sunset, the red clouds are lingering, and the auspicious air is steaming, which is quite spectacular. The top of the mountain is divided into two, one side is dedicated to Sakyamuni, and the other side is dedicated to Maitreya. The weather on the mountain changes a lot, and you still need to see it. 🏝Mushroom Stone: It is one of the iconic attractions of Fanjing Mountain. It is 10 meters high, with a large top and a small bottom, like a mushroom. The magic of nature, a stone pillar breaks through the clouds, it seems to be shaky, but it stands proudly for 1.4 billion years 🏝Wanjuan Book: Located in the Mushroom Stone area, the entire mountain is stacked layer by layer, orderly, and very beautiful. 🏝The old golden top and the red cloud golden top echo each other, sometimes thousands of miles of wind and waves, at a glance; sometimes the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the changes are endless. 🚥【Transportation Guide】 ⭐️Public transportation: Take the high-speed rail to Tongren Station, opposite is Tongren Tourist Passenger Station, there is a bus to Fanjing Mountain.

Mount Fanjing

In the early morning light, I stepped onto the stone steps leading to Fanjing Mountain, surrounded by mist, as if entering a fairyland. As I ventured deeper, a sea of green unfolded before my eyes, with ancient trees towering above. The mountain breeze brought a slight chill, refreshing my soul. The winding path appeared and disappeared among the mountains, with the distant and near bird songs echoing through the valleys, like nature's whispers, bringing a sense of peace. Reaching the mountainside, a vast expanse opened up before me. Looking up, I saw the sacred Red Cloud Golden Summit of Fanjing Mountain standing above the sea of clouds, majestic and imposing. During the climb, the mountain mist gathered and dispersed, the sea of clouds rolling like a silver ocean. As the sunlight pierced through the clouds, the peaks sometimes vanished and sometimes emerged, changing like a dream. Finally standing at the summit, overlooking the entire sea of clouds, I was filled with awe, as if standing between heaven and earth, forgetting the hustle and bustle of the world. This journey to Fanjing Mountain felt like a spiritual cleansing, experiencing the silent tranquility and grandeur of nature in this cloud-bound paradise.
