How much does it cost to go to Fanjing Mountain?

There are five famous Buddhist mountains in the world: Emei, Jiuhua, Wutai, Putuo and Fanjing Mountain, among which Fanjing Mountain is unknown to the world and the only one I have never been to.

Fanjing Mountain is located in the northeastern border of Guizhou, where Hunan, Chongqing and Hubei meet. It belongs to the main peak of Wuling Mountain, which stretches for hundreds of kilometers across the land of Chu and Shu, and is full of mystery. Although many people are unfamiliar with his name, for hundreds of years, the name of Fanjing Mountain has been circulating in southern regions such as Guizhou, Hunan, Sichuan, Hubei and Guangxi for a long time. Although the dynasties have changed and the world has changed, the charm of Fanjing Mountain is still enduring. That's one of the reasons I'm here.

The plane from Guiyang to Tongren runs once a day, with a flight time of about 4 minutes, and it will arrive in Tongren at 1 pm. Tongren Airport is very small. There is no airport shuttle bus to downtown, only a taxi. The fare is 6 yuan. It is said that there used to be a shuttle bus, but it was cancelled because of the small number of customers and the loss of operation. I took a taxi with another passenger to the city, then took a long-distance bus to Jiangkou at the city long-distance bus station, and then transferred to the "Black River Bay" at the entrance of Fanjing Mountain. So far, everything has gone according to plan. At this time, it was nearly evening, and I found a place near the mountain gate, which seemed to be Wolong Mountain Villa. Such a large villa is cold and deserted, and I am alone, and my heart can't help but be sad. After settling down, I went to the mountain gate and learned that the mountain gate is opened at 6: 3 every day, and there is a car going to "Yu 'ao" at 7: , which is the first climbing place of 8 steps. The distance between them is 1 kilometers. Then find a restaurant nearby to solve the dinner problem. The shopkeeper has always recommended me to try the catfish in the local mountain stream. Look at it, it's quite tender, so I ordered a catfish stew of tofu, but it costs a lot of money to settle accounts. Originally, because of my accent, I listened to 4 yuan as 1 yuan, and my heart cried out, but it was delicious and my heart was relieved.

I stayed silent all night, and arrived at the mountain gate at seven o'clock the next morning. According to the plan, I'm going to go up and down the mountain on the same day, although my friends on the Internet have repeatedly reminded me not to think so even if I'm a super donkey friend. But I plan to go to Phoenix tomorrow, what's more, I came to Fanjing Mountain this time just to meet these 8, steps and challenge the limits of my physical fitness.

It was very quiet at the mountain gate, and no one could be seen. At this time, the sky is dim and gloomy, and it seems to rain. The surrounding mountains are hidden and visible in the erratic fog, which seems to imply the hardships and tempering of my trip. After 5 minutes, there was still no one. I knocked on the door of the ticket booth and there was no response. Although I was mentally prepared to walk 16, steps up and down the mountain that day, it was really a great test for my physical strength to walk 1 kilometers from the mountain gate to Yu 'ao, and I hesitated. Time is running out bit by bit. After another five minutes, I decided to hit the road. Climbing over the not-too-high bar, I embarked on a journey with an uncertain future. Walking on Panshan Road, I remembered that I saved the tickets for 5 yuan and the fare for 4 yuan (if one person chartered a car), and I felt a lot of balance in my heart.

Fanjing Mountain is 2493 meters above sea level, which is the first mountain in Guizhou. It stands like a giant on the big slope of the transition from Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to Xiangxi Hill. It is said that its ancient mountain has a history of 1-1.4 billion years, and it is the oldest platform south of the Yellow River. In addition, the mountains are huge and deep, the peaks are majestic and the main peaks are towering into the sky. Therefore, the ancient monument built in the forty-sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1618) was called "the Sect of Yue". From my observation, it's not necessarily that many famous Yuezhizong came, but the mountains are deep and colorful, magnificent and steep, forming nature everywhere, which is incomparable to other Yues, with the majesty of Mount Tai, the precipitous Huashan, the waterfall of Lushan Mountain and the smoke clouds of Hengshan Mountain. The peak at an altitude of 2,493 meters has not yet built a cable car, and 8, steps need to be climbed step by step, so you can't be lazy, and you don't cheat. God's fairness is vividly reflected here, which is why it is also a sacred place for super donkey friends.

Walking on the mountain road up the winding mountain, you can hear your own footsteps and the sound of running water from the roadside stream from time to time. Looking at the past, the mountains are beautiful and straight, and the ancient trees and exotic flowers, flowing springs and waterfalls, floating clouds and fog are really intoxicating. The first feeling that Fanjing Mountain gave me was that the water, or a trickle, or dripping in Ding Dong, or hanging in vain, or roaring in Pentium, was unusually clear and clean. If the clouds were not low that day, I really wanted to jump into the water and wash away the dust on earth, so that my body and mind full of loads could have a moment of peace.

There is a waterfall pavilion on the way, where passers-by can watch the waterfall. People walk on the road and water flows in the mountains. In this way, I unconsciously walked 1 kilometers of Panshan Road with the mountain stream, and the time was 9: sharp, and I walked for 1 hour and 5 minutes. During the whole trip, I didn't meet anyone, only when I was approaching Yu 'ao did I see a car hobbling by.

Yu 'ao is located at the foot of Fanjing Mountain, which is the starting point of climbing. It has a parking lot and a canteen. Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the endless winding steps, I took a long breath and set foot on the first step seriously. According to the plan, I must reach the top of the mountain at 13 o'clock and get down to the foot of the mountain before 16 o'clock, otherwise there will be no car. I can't imagine what it's like to walk 1 kilometers down the mountain.

I realized the magical power of nature's creations after I walked over 1 steps. Fanjing Mountain is indeed rich in many intoxicating natural scenery. With the extension of the mountain, the vegetation on both sides of the mountain road is more and more lush and dense, and the higher you go, you can often see the white Shan Lan curling up in the mountains and appearing in the dark green canyon. When I reached 2 steps (the locals called a step), the clouds were heavier, the fog in the forest was thicker, the sky was drizzling, and the rain was falling quietly, like silver silk spit out by countless silkworms. Tens of millions of filaments, rippling in the forest, are covered like a long veil, like fog rain, like rain fog, lingering continuously. Fortunately, the dense forest blocked the drizzle, but after a long time, the water mist condensed into drops falling from the trees, and the leaves of all kinds of flowers and plants on both sides of the mountain road were condensed with drops of water, crystal clear, and at this time I really understood what "green is about to drip" meant. My worst fear finally happened, it rained! Fortunately, I had the foresight to buy a raincoat the night before. At this time, the worst thing is that I have obviously felt tired. Perhaps the mountain road 1 kilometers ahead has consumed some physical strength. There are still two-thirds of the way ahead, so I gritted my teeth and continued to climb up, because I was in a hurry and didn't dare to rest for too long along the way.

The more you go up, the more it rains, and the drizzle turns into thick raindrops, which bang on the stone road. The raindrops are connected together like a big net, hanging in front of my eyes, falling on my head and body. My back is up, my eyes are closed, and my mouth is open with that little raindrop. My raincoat basically doesn't work. It's raining harder and harder, and there is an incomparably wide bead curtain hanging between heaven and earth. I had a rest in an inn at 45 paces, one was to replenish energy, and the other was to avoid the rain. The folk customs here are good, and the shopkeeper asked me to bake the fire together. Chatting with each other for a while, the rain doesn't seem to stop. According to the shopkeeper, it won't stop for a while. For the sake of glad you came, I went out in the rain again. The rain stayed with me until I returned to the foot of the mountain in the afternoon.

The following road may be the most unforgettable in my life. With the increase of altitude, the temperature became lower. At the end of 6 steps, I was almost struggling, and I couldn't walk 1 steps. I was so tired that I could only gasp with my mouth open to supplement my severely anoxic body. The pain in my legs seemed to be sour to my heart. What's worse, the rain kept taking away my remaining body temperature. At this point, I was in no mood to appreciate the ever-changing rain scene, and my hands began to get cold and numb. I doubt if I can get to the top, and I doubt if I can get down again when I get to the top. "It's a long way to go in Xiu Yuan, and I'll go up and down." Somehow I suddenly remembered this sentence. I remember that I climbed Xiangshan once in Beijing (I climb Xiangshan every weekend). It was in the early morning of winter, and it was quite dark. I was walking on the way up the mountain. At this time, there was a clear sound of bamboo sticks standing in the distance, and the sound was getting closer and closer. When I met him, I saw that it was a blind man who had gone down from the mountain in this dark morning. Seeing this, I suddenly felt pity and hurried forward to help, but the blind man declined me. After talking, I realized that he often climbed mountains here. At that time, I asked him why he didn't wait for dawn. After asking, I couldn't help but feel dumb. What's the difference between darkness and light for the blind? As long as there is a way in your heart, you can go on. In fact, the road of life is not the same. Life is like climbing a mountain. Only after climbing to the top can you have the spirit of seeing the mountains at a glance and the joy of success. Thinking about this, my body seems to have the temperature again, my confidence is restored, and I am on my way again. In order to save energy, I stopped to take a breath every time I didn't reach the fatigue limit, so I stopped, gasped at twenty steps and stopped at thirty steps. I arrived at Jinding at about 12: 3. I continued to climb to the top. In order to save my strength, I almost stopped in a few steps. The more I went to the top of the mountain, the thicker the fog became. In the end, I almost walked in the thick fog, and I couldn't distinguish things within a short distance. I looked up at the sky and sighed why the Buddha didn't give me a bodhisattva's heart and gave me a little care. I was so pious that I couldn't see a scene after suffering. Dear friends, I wanted to cry at that time. The rain didn't change because of my mood, and it continued to rain. My thigh showed signs of cramp after my great sorrow. The situation can't allow me to hesitate any longer. I have to get down the hill as soon as possible.

After a short rest at the last inn on the mountain, I hurried down the mountain. Similarly, a tin of red bull was added to the inn at 45 steps. When the female shopkeeper saw that I was tired, she suggested that I rest in her shop for one night and go down the mountain tomorrow, remembering that I have to go to Phoenix tomorrow. Besides, it is not convenient to be alone in the same room in this deep forest, so she thanked her kindness and went down the mountain in the rain. It's nearly 4 o'clock at the foot of the mountain, and I can't see a car in the empty parking lot. My heart can't help but get heavy. Is it really the old saying that "the ship leaks and meets the head wind"? There was a woman in the grocery store who was helping her daughter with her homework. Luckily, she went forward and asked if she had a car. "Not long ago, it's winter", the woman's answer almost made me dizzy. This is the market economy. The cars here are all private cars. You can't ask them to wait for a tourist who doesn't know when it will appear here like a big luck, not to mention it's "winter". Winter in the mountains really comes early! Disappointed, I suddenly saw a car in the distance, which should be to send my friend up the mountain. Because the car stopped at a corner, although I couldn't see the driver, I could tell from the flashing taillights that he had started the door by remote control. Without any hesitation, I tried to run to the car with my remaining physical strength. The driver heard my cry and stopped. I panted and ran to the front of the car and asked if I could take me down the hill. I could pay. The owner of the car is a man, about 3 years old. He must have seen me in a mess, felt pity and let me get on the bus happily. This kind-hearted car owner took me to tongren city all the time, helped me find a hotel to settle down, and invited me to his house for dinner. I can't thank him any more. Looking at his departure, I couldn't help feeling that there are still many good people in the world. This person is surnamed Gao (forgive me for hiding his name) and works in Tongren Branch of China Construction Bank.

Ladies and gentlemen, I strongly suggest that visitors who come here in the future must arrange their time fully. Don't learn from me, remember, remember! However, I don't regret it at all. In today's restless and materialistic world, it is a luxury to find a pure land, even for a moment of peace. However, what I want to say is: Fanjing Mountain, it is not easy to say that I love you.

Tips:

1. Bring more coats

Jiangkou County is less than 4 meters above sea level, while Jinding is 2,572 meters above sea level. The altitude of the "Wanbu Ladder" is only 5 kilometers away, which has increased by as much as 1,7 meters. The climate has changed suddenly, and sweaters are needed at the top of the mountain in summer, so it is necessary to bring more coats when going up the mountain. Climbing is easy to sweat, and it is not easy to change on the way. It is best to bring sweat-wicking underwear.

2. Rain gear is needed

Because of the good vegetation and soil and water conservation in Fanjing Mountain area, it is necessary to take rain gear because of the unpredictable wind and rain in the virgin forest area. If you have a suit, try to bring it. If you don't, try to bring waterproof clothes, ponchos or umbrellas.

3. It is not advisable to catch up with the progress of mountaineering.

When you climb the mountain, with the increasing height, the load on your heart is also greater, which is manifested in the strengthening of heart rate and the increase of cardiac oxygen consumption. It is a big threat to people who usually lack exercise. For this reason, there is no need to make progress when climbing, let alone compete with each other, and we must advance at a constant speed. We would rather relax the climbing time, which can reduce many accidents.

4. Mountain climbing and walking stick

Usually, walking stick is a good helper for the elderly, but it has become a tool suitable for all ages when climbing mountains, because it can help you climb up more easily with its support; On the contrary, when going downhill, it is reliable to let you walk at a safe pace or prevent slipping. Therefore, it is best for everyone to prepare a trekking pole, bamboo pole and wooden stick.

5. It's easier to go up the mountain than down it

Although it does take a lot of effort to go up the mountain. However, the safety when going down the mountain is far less than that when going up the mountain, and the calf is so tense when going down the mountain that most people will feel pain for several days after returning from the mountain to the flat. It should be noted that you should not rush down the mountain in one breath, take more rest during the period, and massage your calf with your hands constantly during the rest, so as to relieve spasm and improve blood circulation. In addition, walking down the mountain too fast, the human body has movement inertia, sometimes it will slow down or stop in time, and even trip and roll, which is very dangerous. This time we went down 8 steps to Jiangkou, and this is especially important.

6. The trip to Phoenix is more relaxed and leisure, and the precautions are only focused on anti-theft and robbery. Group activities are better. Pay attention to keeping men's mobile phones off their waists and women's mobile phones off their chests during individual activities.

7. This activity is not a camping activity, so it is not required to bring a tent damp-proof pad, but it is recommended to bring a sleeping bag. The accommodation conditions in a small place are limited, so it will be much more comfortable to bring it.

8. Take some daily medicines, and friends who will get carsick will take Haining with them. The leader of the emergency medicine club will prepare it.
