Fanjing Mountain
This is a mountain that cannot be described in any words. As soon as you see its picture, your heart will already fly away. Fly to the foot of this mountain, fly to the top of this mountain, fly to the two temples of this mountain.
Even fly higher into the sky to view the mountain from a God’s perspective.
I lament the mystery of Guizhou's landscape and feel infinitely proud that my motherland has such magnificent scenery.
Although this mountain is not as famous as Mount Tai, Mount Hua, Mount Lu, and Mount Emei, and is located in the southwest where transportation is inconvenient, it has remained low-key for nearly a thousand years. But since it was named a World Natural Heritage Site in 2018, it has become famous and tourists have flocked to it, sometimes even causing traffic jams.
Fanjing Mountain is located in Tongren City, Guizhou Province. It is the highest peak on the transition slope from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to the hills of western Hunan, and is also the highest peak of the Wuling Mountains.
It is a collection of mountains, caves, hot springs, stone forests and other scenery. There are more than 40 scenic spots with green peaks and connected mountains and rivers.
Fanjing Mountain, adjacent to green mountains and surrounded by green water, has a unique charm: it captures the wonders of Huangshan Mountain, the beauty of Emei Mountain, the dangers of Huashan Mountain, and the majesty of Taishan Mountain.
Looking at the beautiful China, Mount Fanjing is the golden signboard of colorful Guizhou. Under the sky, "Fanjingling Mountain" is famous in Kyushu
As a mature scenic spot, Fanjing Mountain is very convenient for food and accommodation. You can stay overnight and have fast meals at the temples near the Golden Summit, and the prices are very cheap.
Of course, there are tours and hotels inside and outside the scenic area, and food and accommodation can be provided. Of course, it is best to consider that Tongren has better accommodation and food conditions and a wide range of choices.
A regular tour of the scenic spot takes most of the day, starting from Tongren, and you can go back and forth on the same day.
Fanjing Mountain is not far from Fenghuang Ancient City and Zhenyuan Ancient Town, so you can visit them together.
transportation

Tang'an Dong Village
Tang'an Dong Village is one of the very famous attractions in Zhaoxing, but because of the difficult and dangerous road, not as many people go there as expected.
But after going there, you will realize that this is definitely a place worth visiting.
At first, this Dong village did not attract our attention. It was crowded among the many famous Miao and Dong villages in Qiandongnan Autonomous Prefecture and was not very noticeable.
What made me start to notice it is that among all the Miao and Dong Village scenic spots, it is the only one with two brands at the same time: "Tang'an Dong Village" and "Tang'an Rice Terraces".
Ancient villages and terraced fields are found in all local ethnic scenic spots. Tang An must have something special if he dares to play these two cards that everyone has.
The biggest attractions of Tang'an Dong Village are the terraced fields and the buildings of Tang'an Dong Village itself.
The residential buildings in Tang'an Dong Village are very shocking. They are all wooden buildings, leaning on the mountain, hanging on stilts, and looking at various dangers. However, such houses are extremely solid and capture the soul of the Dong people.
The terraced fields of Tang'an Dong Village are also another scenic spot that attracts tourists. This is definitely a natural ecological museum. The terraced fields are just like being drawn, and they are built according to the mountains.
Tang'an is a very small village in Guizhou. The Dong Village is not big. It is about 20 minutes' drive from Zhaoxing Dong Village. It takes about 2 hours to hike from Zhaoxing Dong Village to Tang'an Dong Village. If you have enough time, you can really hike. Beautiful scenery
It is recommended to stay one night in the village. The first ray of sunshine in the morning is worth looking forward to, and the accommodation is very special. They are all in wooden houses halfway up the mountain. The prices are not expensive, ranging from over a hundred to several hundred.

Jiabang terraced fields
The Chinese say: If you rely on the mountains, you will eat the mountains; if you rely on the sea, you will eat the sea.
This is not only an adaptation to local conditions, but also a Chinese way of survival that conforms to nature. There is such a place hidden in Guizhou.
Jiabang Rice Terraces is located in the northeast of Jiabang Township in the hinterland of Moon Mountain in the west of Congjiang County. It is 80 kilometers away from the county seat and is one of the best rice terraces in China.
The staggered beauty of the terraces creates an excellent visual effect.
Although the Jiabang Rice Terraces are not particularly famous, the terraces stretching between the mountains are more beautiful than the Yuanyang Rice Terraces in Yunnan and more magnificent than the Longji Rice Terraces in Guangxi. It is a very charming natural beauty.
Because southeastern Guizhou is surrounded by mountains, and the Jiabang Rice Terraces are located deep in the mountains, the transportation here is relatively inconvenient. But precisely because of this, it rarely receives too much interference from the outside world, and it appears to be particularly quiet and beautiful, like a paradise hidden among the mountains.
In these stilted buildings surrounded by terraces, live the people who created the myth of the terraces. Their ancestors cultivated terraced fields dotted among the high mountains and ridges.
In such a high mountain, where does the water for the terraces come from?
In fact, terraced fields are a complex irrigation system.
After all, the mountain springs from the original forests on the mountains are limited.
But the people who have guarded the terraced life for generations have their own methods. They diverted water by building canals and enclosing fields to store water. Collect mountain spring water and rainwater.
Wherever there are fields, there is water. Small paddy fields are not only used to irrigate crops, but they even have rice field fish and ducks.
Historically, mountains have blocked their communication with the outside world. However, the millennium-old rice, fish and duck farming cycle system has been well preserved.
Those scattered villages and green rice fields complement each other and blend harmoniously with the pure nature. It makes people feel the beautiful scene of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Walking in these mountain villages is like being in a fairy mirror on earth.
If you like photography, this is undoubtedly an excellent place to shoot.
The scenery throughout the terraces is quite charming in all seasons.
In spring, the terraces are filled with water, and occasionally seedlings emerge. This is because the water reflects light, making it a perfect time to watch the sunset;
In summer, the seedlings grow very vigorously, and everywhere is green and full of vitality; in winter, although the climate in southeastern Guizhou is a bit cold, there is often mist surrounding the beautiful terraces, which is also intoxicatingly beautiful.
As a great man-made miracle, whenever you come to Jiabang Rice Terraces, you can always get unexpected surprises. It shows people the unique beauty of southeastern Guizhou all the time.
transportation
There are many mountainous areas in southeastern Guizhou, and transportation is relatively inconvenient. First of all, you must avoid traveling during the rainy season. It is best to rent a car and drive yourself. By public transportation, you can first take a bus from Kaili to Congjiang, and then transfer to a minibus to Jiabang Rice Terraces.
viewing time
The scenery of the terraces is beautiful all year round, but it is best to go during the flooding period. At this time, the colors are more vivid due to the reflection of the water surface, and it is the best time to enjoy the sunset.
Tips
The temperature in the mountainous areas changes greatly. Even in the hot summer, the night temperature will be relatively low. It is best to bring some warm clothes to keep out the cold.

Getu River Scenic Area
Chongqing’s Wulong Tiansheng Three Bridges is famous, and Guizhou’s is no less famous. It’s a great place for outings and mountain climbing in spring and summer.
At present, try to avoid going to closed environments as much as possible. This kind of open scenic spot has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and it is a niche tourist spot. Children can also climb mountains.
The Getu River Scenic Area has deep canyons, complex and mysterious scenic caves, magical and huge underground river systems, well-preserved blind valleys of ancient river channels and primitive forest landscapes in the valleys.
Caves, underground rivers, blind valleys, cliffs, and divine light are the keywords of this karst natural park.
You can take a boat to various scenic spots and climb up the stone steps. There are about 2,000 stone steps, and when you reach a platform, you can see the Getu River winding in the mountains at the foot of the mountain, and the verdant mountains near the mountains.
Getu River combines the essence of karst, mountains, water, caves, rocks and forests, and integrates majestic, strange, dangerous, precipitous, secluded and ancient. It is presented to the world as a perfect landscape picture, with well-preserved late II Assemblage - Early Triassic geological landform, its typical and rare karst terrain is a rare treasure.
If Huangguoshu Scenic Area is compared to a charming young woman, then Getu River is like a shy bride waiting to be married in a boudoir. Step by step, she is waiting for you to explore and unveil her beautiful veil.
The Blessing Cave is also known as the "Coffin Hidden Cave". This is where the hanging coffins of King Yalu's royal family were enshrined more than 2,000 years ago.
The Miao people do not believe in Buddhism, but only believe in their ancestors. They come here to pray for their ancestors, so it is called the Prayer Cave. The hanging coffin burial set up in the cave is one of the burial styles of ancient ethnic minorities in southern China.
In the early morning when you go into the cave, you can encounter the rare divine light of heaven and earth. The slope valley outside the cave is covered with subtropical plants such as wild plantain, palm bamboo, and Chinese wild solitaire, which are evergreen all year round.
Every morning, wisps of sunlight pass through the entrance of the cave and reflect the light on the Getu River, bringing infinite aura to all things here. This is the rare light of the gods in the world, but this light only appears for a few dozen days a year. Only lucky enough to see it.

It is the Lava Art Museum, an incredible "suspended" art museum

Huaxi Yelang Valley
Huaxi Yelang Valley is a surprising place.
Everyone knows the allusion "Yelang is arrogant". The ancient Yelang Kingdom has always had a mysterious and exotic color because of its seclusion and independence.
The ruins of the former Yelang have disappeared, but there is an artist Mr. Song Peilun who loves ancient Chinese culture. He spent nearly 20 years building his dream Yelang Valley in Doupeng Mountain, Huaxi, the birthplace of Yelang culture. .
Mrs. Huang was attracted by such dreamy stories and came to this mysterious valley.
Before entering the scenic spot, a forest appeared in front of us.
The view is lush and green, completely isolated from the hustle and bustle of big cities.
Passing through the masson pine forest and entering the city gate, it suddenly becomes clear!
There are countless totem sculptures of Gu Yelang built on both sides of the long canyon, which are beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Climb the high castle wall for a better view and a panoramic view of the totem sculptures.
The strange rocks and slate buildings with karst style can't help but marvel at the perfect combination of sculpture art and nature, and you can also feel the efforts that the artist put into this.
There are many art studios in the park. For those who love art, the mountain roads are well built and suitable for taking children to play.
It is very comfortable to walk along the valley bottom with small bridges and flowing water, but there is a stone road on the water, which is more exciting to walk on. Everyone must pay attention to safety and try to avoid it if you are bringing children.

Listen to the chirping of insects and the swaying of grass.
The wind is blowing, the clouds are drifting, nothing is left to dream about...
