Mount Fanjing, or Fanjingshan, is part of the Wuling mountain range in southwestern China’s Guizhou province. Named as a Unesco's World Natural and Cultural Heritage Site in 2018, the mountain is home to a conservation area, a nature reserve, and a number of Buddhist temples—it has been considered a sacred site for centuries. Fanjingshan Temple is actually the 2 next-door temples, namely Temple of the Buddha (释迦殿) & Maitreya Temple (弥勒殿), on the peak of the Red Clouds Golden Summit, which rises more than 330 feet (100.6 meters) above the surrounding mountaintop. One is for worshipping Sakiymuni representing the present and the other is for Maitreya representing the future. The 2 temples were originally built about over 500 years ago in Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), and the present temples have been rebuilt in Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) according to its original look, and more new temples also were built along the mountain way to “Red Clouds Golden Summit”, including Cheng’en Temple, Baoguo Temple, Longquan Temple, etc. There is only one hall for each temple, which is built with layers of stone pieces into 17.7 feet (5.4 meters) wide and 18.2 feet (5.55 meters) deep. There is a short stonebridge linking between the two temples above the deep Gold Sword Gorge. Fanjingshan is an important landmark for Buddhists as they believe it's where the Maitreya Buddha found "enlightenment". In 2019, National Geographic Traveler put Fanjingshan on its "Best Trips of the Year" list and described hiking up the mountain as "climbing through a sea of clouds". To reach the temples, visitors must climb 8,888 narrow steps (with iron chains at one side, for holding) from the foot to the summit, which takes around less than 2 hours (needs much energy and not recommended for people with not-so-good physical condition or suffer acrophobia), though there is the option to ride a cable car part way up the side of the ridge. Because Fanjingshan remained relatively isolated for so many years, it has an astonishing amount of biodiversity. With altitudes ranging from 1,640 feet (500 meters) to 8,432 feet (2,570 meters) above sea level, it's home to over 2,000 endemic plant species (31 of which are endangered) and hundreds of endangered or/and threatened animals, including Grey snub-nosed monkey, Chinese giant salamander, Forest musk deer and Reeve’s pheasant... In fact, some species date to the Tertiary period—between 66 million and 2 million years ago. To see Fanjingshan Temple, visitors need to get to Tongren City first and transfer to Fanjingshan by taxi or local bus. Tongren Fenghuang Airport has flights to/from Beijing (2.5 hours), Shanghai (2.5 hours), Guiyang (1 hour), Guilin (1 hour), Kunming (2 hours), Hangzhou (2.5 hours), Guangzhou (1.5 hour), Shenzhen (1.5 hour), Xiamen (2 hours), etc. Besides, Tongren South Railway Station is linked by bullet trains with Guiyang (2 hours), Chengdu (5 hours), Chongqing (4 hours), Guangzhou (6 hours), Kaili (1 hour), Changsha (3.5 hours), etc. From Tongren, visitors can take a local taxi to Fanjingshan for about 1.5 hour. Besides, some direct buses are available from both airport and railway station to Fanjingshan. Entry to this site costs 110 yuan for adults ($17). The 3,400-metre cable car ride costs 90 yuan ($14) for a return journey (half an hour each way). Whatever season you visit, the advice is to pack some warm clothes and waterproofs. * Photos courtesy of Internet and Facebook. Thanks!

One of the main reasons for our trip here in Zhangjiajae is the ancient town of “feng huang” or phoenix old town. It’s truly mesmerizing and incredible to be able to visit this gem. Loved the architecture of the entire village and the captivating beauty of their building structures. Tasting Tujia and Miao cuisine and enjoying the traditional costume plus the experience of teleporting back in time to 1704 (300 years ago)😂😂😂😂😂. We had the rare opportunity to experience both day and night view of the old wonders along the river banks too.

One of the most central locations in the ancient city. The nice thing about this bridge is that it’s central in the sense that many of the shops are right nearby but at the same time it’s not crowded here relative to the other places.

I visited the City on September 15 and 16 with my sister Miriam and brother in law Sergio. This City is spectacular. I stayed at Xizha River View home stay and they stayed at Wang Jiang Reclusive Boutique Inn. My hotel was very clean and comfortable but the hotel does not make the stay perfect. My sister’s hotel owners made the perfect stay. @WangJiangmountain were the perfect host couple. Without their instructions to restaurants, events, times and historic locations we couldn’t visiting all these additional historic locations in the City. The best place to find their hotel is in booking under the name Wang Jiang Reclusive Boutique Inn. Good luck on finding availability they are always busy. He is 100% amazing. The hotel will help you to buy the tickets for the boat at night and the museums to visit in the morning.

Aizhai is the world’s highest tunnel to tunnel bridge and the fourth suspension bridge in China to cross a valley so wide it seems to be connecting two mountain ranges. The first three were the Siduhe, Balinghe and Beipanjiang Hukun bridges. Of the world's 400 or so highest bridges, Aizhai has the 3rd longest span with a tower to tower distance of 3,858 feet (1,176 mtrs). Located deep in the heart of China’s Hunan Province near the city of Jishou, the suspension bridge is the largest structure on the Jishou to Chadong expressway with a deck 1,102 feet (336 mtrs) above the DeHang Canyon and has also become a major tourist attraction with a walkway partly made of glass accessible via a large group of escalators and elevators.
