📍 Qiandongnan
Guizhou Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture
Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture is the region with the highest concentration of Miao and Dong ethnic populations in the country, known as the state of ecology, dance, and magic. It is one of the 18 ecological cultural preservation circles determined by the World Indigenous Culture Foundation.
Worthwhile attractions to visit
📍 Zhenyuan Ancient Town
National 5A tourist attraction, located in Zhenyuan County of Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture in Guizhou Province, with the old prefecture city on the north bank and the old garrison city on the south bank. Both cities were built during the Ming Dynasty, and some parts of the city walls and gates still exist. Taking a boat ride at night to enjoy the night view of both banks, the reflection of ancient buildings in the water is a different kind of enjoyment.
📍 Tongren Fanjing Mountain
National 5A tourist attraction, the main peak of the Wuling Mountains, with an altitude of 2572 meters, located at the junction of Jiangkou, Yinjiang, and Songtao counties in Tongren City, Guizhou Province. Fanjing Mountain, also known as the City in the Sky, offers a variety of colors such as red, yellow, purple, and green as you ascend in autumn, allowing you to experience a diverse landscape in one trip.
📍 Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village
National 4A tourist attraction, located in Nangu Village, Xijiang Town, Leishan County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture of Guizhou Province, consists of more than ten natural villages built along the mountains, connected into a patchwork. Terraced fields stretch up to the clouds along the mountains, and the Baishui River runs through the village, dividing Xijiang Miao Village into two. Here you can experience the simple local customs and a different geomorphological style. It is known as the Chinese version of 'Spirited Away'.
📍 Miaowang City
Located in Songtao Miao Autonomous County, Guizhou Province, it was first built in the early years of the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and was originally the residence of the Miao chieftain. Miaowang City is the only well-preserved ancient Miao fortress in the southwestern region that integrates politics, economy, culture, military, and architecture. Built in the time of the Ming Dynasty, it quietly waits for others to discover it through the torrents of time. This is not just a scenic spot, but also a gateway to Miao culture.

Culinary Commutes
Fanjing mountain - a dream
We came to climb the mountain just a few days before the Chinese New year holiday and we found that there were not too many people. We stayed near the entrance so that we could just walk to the ticket office once we finished our breakfast. currently the ticket is free if you are Chinese but I had to pay 70 rmb. I think it was half price because of the winter season. we took the cable car up and walked the rest up to the mushroom stone. Because of snow we were not able to climb to the last peak to the top of the mountain but it was still amazing. #newyearadventure #fanjingshan #travel #explore #china #guizhou

a climb to remember ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Getting There - speed train from Guiyang north, or 3hrs 20mins drive from Guiyang city to jiangkou, tongren
Attractions - Fanjingshan, mushroom mountain
Hotels - Yinshe home stay
Food & Restaurants - local street restaurants
Shopping - Guizhou tourist exhibition center to get all your local souvenirs
Facety
Fanjingshan monastery, Guizhou
If you travel in Guizhou this is a must see attraction. However, it's different from the pictures in Google I was fooled by as they are made by drone (2d picture) and you will see it from another perspective 😁
It's still an amazing sight! Loved it😍
The tickets need be purchased 1 day in advance (in our case at least), so you can stay for the night nearby or in Jiangkou (they didn't do nucleic test for foreigners in Fanjingshan in July )
When we went there, it was packed with tourists, so on the way back we decided to go down on foot (99.9% take a cable car up and back). Don't do it without proper shoes and if you are not supersuperhikefan, as most of the way is through woods and not so special apart from a few spots, but your legs may hurt for a few days having made 10k steps down 😁#fanjingshan #guizhou

🏔Fangjingshan Sacred Mountain 🏔
Getting There - Train to Tongren station (Guizhou), then a 1.5hr drive to the scenic area. There are drivers waiting around the entrance who will eagerly take you to Fangjingshan. We organised with our hotel in advance for 60rmb per person.
Attractions - Gorgeous mountains views. Don’t go on a public holiday. We thought it wouldn’t be as popular as other sites, but it took us 3 hours of lining up to get in. The cable car line up was then an additional 2hr wait, so we opted to hike up instead (so peaceful!)
Hotels - stay at the base of the mountain, not in Tongren city as it will take all day to explore the mountain.
Food & Restaurants - bring food with you. Options are limited once you enter the scenic area.

The Mist-erious Fanjing Mountain
As part of the Wuling Mountain range in the southwest of China (namely, Guizhou province), Fanjing Mountain is one of the key attractions there. It was named as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2018, and is quite a striking landscape to look at. You've probably seen it pop up when looking at pictures of Guizhou in China. The most striking feature about this mountain is the singular tall spire that extends more than 100 meters above the surrounding mountaintops. At the top of this spire sits two temples that are sepearated by a narrow gorge and connected by a bridge.
We had hoped to see this site on a day with clear weather, unfortunately we were out of luck and on the day of our visit it was super misty and raining! But that still didn't deter us from climbing to the top of that spire, even if just to say we had done it.

Mount Fanjing|The art of human & nature
Mount Fanjing is an amazing art of nature and human beings. Here, you will be surprised by not only those different shapes of Layer-by-layer ancient rocks(the most famous one is mushroom rock, god knows how long it take to form like this), but also those super steep hilltops( 老金顶Ancient Hilltop & 红云金顶Red-cloud Hilltop, both hilltop with ancient temples, wonder how the ancients get to build temple there). From the mountain top, you can also enjoy the valleys, one of my favorite.
If you're not in rush, highly recommend to climb up 8000 stairs😉 to enjoy the woods, squirrels and the hilltops from distance😊

Guizhou - Tongren - Mount Fanjing
Visiting Mount Fanjing was a truly surreal experience and I would recommend it to everyone.
We got a train from Guiyang to Tongren early in the morning (6am-7.34am) and quickly checked into our hotel. We then got a taxi to the site which took an hour and cost 220rmb. We arrived at 10am and walked to the ticket office. We paid 260rmb for a ticket that included entry, shuttle bus passes and cable car journeys. I would recommend this ticket type as the journey to the top was very long! I would also recommend arriving a lot earlier than we did, we waited about 2 hours to get off the cable cars due to very long queues. The site itself is open from 6am.
The mountain itself is absolutely breathtaking. There are multiple temples, peaks and summits to explore as well as the outstanding views. The star of the show has to be the Red Cloud Golden Peak summit which is home to two Buddhist temples with a stone bridge connecting them. The temples are 2336m above sea level, it’s incredible to see! We spent 4 hours exploring the site, it’s a lot of walking and climbing so wear sensible shoes. You are also extremely high up so the weather is much cooler and it rained. I would recommend taking a rain coat and jumper.
Once you have completed your trip and reached the car park, you are spoilt for choice with restaurants. It is also very easy to get a taxi back into Tongren.

Visit Fanjing Mountain in Guizhou and take a cable car to a concert.
Fanjing Mountain is a paradise of natural wonders. Take the Sante cable car to the top of the mountain and start your exploration. The cable car slowly ascends, and the scenery outside the window changes constantly, like a vivid nature documentary. Here, you can see a variety of rare plants that thrive in the mountains, creating a green world. The attractions of the Sky City, Red Cloud Golden Summit, Mushroom Stone, Old Golden Summit, and Wanbao Rock are the highlights of this documentary. Each of them shows its unique charm, whether mysterious, peculiar, majestic, or simple, all of which are fascinating. In Fanjing Mountain, it is a dream boat that shuttles between heaven and earth. It is like a silver ribbon, hanging in the mountains, connecting the human world and the fairyland. The cabins are like exquisite pavilions in the air, carrying tourists slowly up, through the veil of clouds and mist, over the treetops, and heading towards the sacred mountain top, allowing people to enjoy the dreamlike beauty of Fanjing Mountain during this leisurely journey.

I never thought that the City in the Sky was actually Fanjing Mountain.
I set off at the crack of dawn, driving straight to the foot of Fanjing Mountain, just to catch the first breath of fresh mountain air. As the morning light fell, the mist in the mountains gradually dispersed, and the morning glow reflected the magnificent outline of Fanjing Mountain. This was my first encounter with Fanjing Mountain, a tranquil paradise on one side and a vibrant new day on the other 🌄.
📍Fanjing Mountain
Fanjing Mountain, named after the "Pure Land of Brahma," is one of the five famous Buddhist mountains in China. It is not only a holy place of Buddhist culture but also a treasure of the perfect combination of nature and humanity. Every attraction seems to tell the story of time.
Mushroom Stone
As a landmark of Fanjing Mountain, Mushroom Stone attracts countless tourists with its unique shape. This naturally formed strange stone stands quietly in the sea of clouds, like a guardian, witnessing every sunrise and sunset of Fanjing Mountain.
Red Cloud Golden Summit
Standing on the Red Cloud Golden Summit, you can enjoy the magnificent scenery of the mountains. There are ancient temples here, with incense lingering, for people to pray devoutly. In the early morning, the echo of the ancient bell comes to your ears, and the distant and quiet "Buddhist sound wave" seems to wash away the distractions in your heart. Climb the steps and enter the "Thousand-layer Golden Summit," where the layered buildings and the distant mountains complement each other, like a fairyland.
📌Travel Information
Opening hours: 06:00 - 15:00
Travel route: Take the Sante cable car 🚡 from the foot of the mountain, take the scenic sightseeing bus, and then walk and climb for about two and a half hours to reach the main peak.
Ticket price: Tickets + round-trip sightseeing bus only cost 120 yuan, which is very cost-effective.
Fanjing Mountain is not only a pilgrimage site for Buddhists but also a paradise for nature lovers. In this "City in the Sky," you can feel a different kind of purification and healing. Set off in the early morning, facing the morning glow, and let Fanjing Mountain become the harbor of your soul!

雲間淨土:梵淨山的靈性漫遊
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.

Fanjing Mountain: The pleasant early winter scenery is like a musical note.
The Fanjing Mountain Heartwarming Concert is like a warm fire, with notes dancing in the cold and warming the heart. The event site is full of interesting check-in points, and free hugs bring people closer together. The warm touch can melt the ice in your heart. The steaming dumplings are the most thoughtful care for tourists. Eating dumplings and enjoying the music performance is really pleasant. Twelve traditional Chinese musicians performed in various places in the scenic area. When the music played at famous attractions such as Hongyun Jinding and Mushroom Stone, it seemed to inject soul into these sceneries. Finally, a little tip: we took the Sante cable car to go up the mountain easily, saving energy and allowing us to better enjoy this unique concert and beautiful scenery.

A castle on the mountain
#梵净山 a breath taking must see view. There’s two peaks in fact an older Golden peak and a newer cloud peak. The older peak is actually taller than the new peak. MUCH recommend to take the Main East entrance then shuttle bus and able car. It’s 9.5km up hill with the shuttle bus and around 2000m up the cable car. You can see most of the peaks within a few hours. It goes mainly in a circular one way up and one way down and definitely tourist friendly, however still need to be good health to climb those steps :).

Colorful Autumn Scenery - Fanjing Mountain
Sky City - Fanjing Mountain
I came to Fanjing Mountain, known as the "Sky City" of Guizhou, after hearing about it. It's a must-see when visiting Guizhou!
Fanjing Mountain has stood for 65 million years. The mountain is not particularly high, but what makes it special is the Golden Summit, which stands hundreds of meters high on a narrow ridge. The summit has been weathered into a narrow crack, splitting it in two. This unique shape attracts everyone's attention, and from any angle, it is a true sky city.
Must-see attractions in Fanjing Mountain Scenic Area:
1. Mushroom Stone: The Mushroom Stone has stood for thousands of years between the Kunlun Mountains. It is shaped like a mushroom, and its tilted appearance is amazing! It has witnessed the passage of time and the changes of the world.
2. Old Golden Summit: Also known as "Moon Mirror Mountain," the Old Golden Summit is 2,494 meters above sea level, more than 150 meters higher than the New Golden Summit at 2,336 meters. It is the highest point that tourists can reach in Fanjing Mountain, where you can see endless seas of clouds. If you're lucky, you might even see a Buddha's light.
3. Red Cloud Golden Summit: Also known as the New Golden Summit, it is often surrounded by red clouds and auspicious air in the morning, which is truly intoxicating! Standing on the peak, you can overlook the 360° sea of clouds, Buddha's light, and magnificent scenery, which is a spiritual cleansing.
Travel Tips
Guizhou's attractions are far apart, so driving yourself is tiring, expensive, and requires planning. It's not recommended.
We recommend booking a customized car service to plan your itinerary based on the attractions you want to visit. You can depart flexibly in the morning and arrange your time freely at the scenic spots.

Exploring the Sea of Clouds: The Mysterious Charm of Mount Fanjing
Mount Fanjing, a natural treasure of Guizhou, left me in awe with its indescribable beauty. Walking through the mountains, enveloped in mist, it feels like entering a fairyland. Upon reaching the Golden Summit, it feels as if you are standing above a sea of clouds, with light white mist floating among the overlapping peaks, creating a dreamlike scene. The gentle breeze on the Sky Bridge makes one forget the troubles of the mundane world, leaving only the magnificent landscape in one's heart.
The most astonishing sight is the Red Cloud Golden Summit of Mount Fanjing, standing tall amidst the mist like a giant rock from another world. The transcendent tranquility and purity make one stop and gaze in awe. Along the way, there are not only magical natural landscapes but also many Buddhist cultural relics, telling the thousand-year-old history of Mount Fanjing.
Overall, this is definitely a place that leaves one lingering and purifies the soul.

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.

Second visit to Fanjing Mountain.
⛱️Must-visit attractions: Mushroom Stone, Red Cloud Golden Summit
🌄Travel tips: It is recommended to decide the time to go up the mountain according to the weather. If it rains, you can wait until the next day to climb the mountain. I went there for the first time in the afternoon of the first day and it rained. I didn't see anything. I saw the beautiful scenery only when I went there again early in the morning the next day.
🏨Accommodation tips: It is recommended to stay in a homestay with a room in the East Gate Tourist Service Center
💗Other tips: The ticket is valid for five days. The sightseeing car costs CNY 20 and the cable car costs CNY 140 for a round trip. You need to buy them separately each time you enter the mountain. You can make an appointment to enter the mountain directly at the tourist center. You can enter the mountain immediately on non-holidays. The sightseeing car needs to drive for more than 20 minutes for ten kilometers, and then it takes about 20 minutes to go up the mountain by cable car. The above is the case without queuing. After getting off the cable car, you need to climb the mountain for about an hour. It is a bit tiring to go straight up. You can check in and take photos to see the panoramic view at Mushroom Stone. You can climb the Old Golden Summit on the right, and the Red Cloud Golden Summit reservation office is on the left. If there are many people, you can make an appointment here at Mushroom Stone. It takes about 20 minutes to walk down. It takes enough time to climb the Red Cloud Golden Summit for an hour. The sea of clouds is very beautiful when the weather is good. A small section needs to be climbed with hands and feet, and most of them are easy to climb. The wind on the mountain is very strong and cold. You must wear a windbreaker, which is more than ten degrees colder than below.
