The first stop of the donkey tour: Fanjing Fanjing is a natural ecological reserve in China, where there are many precious animals and plants, such as Guizhou golden monkeys and Hongtong.

The most attractive thing is the nearly 8,000 steps and the last 90-degree step leading to the Golden Summit. The mushroom stone on the top of the mountain is Fan Jing's representative work, and the rock next to it that resembles the heads of ethnic minorities is more vivid. If you are lucky, you can also see the sea of ??clouds and the Buddha's light. Tickets: 15 yuan/person, plus 1 yuan/person insurance fee. There is no need to purchase other tickets to enter the mountain. Conductor: There are no direct trains, planes or ships to Fan Jing.

First of all, you can take the train and get off at Yuping Station.

There are two routes from Yuping to Fanjing: one is from Yuping to Tongren by minibus (fare: 15 yuan/person, time: about 70 minutes), and from Tongren to Jiangkou by bus (fare: 8 yuan/person, time: 70 Minutes) to Tongren-Fan Jing (fare: Jiangkou) direct minibus to Yuping-Fan Jing (fare: 25 yuan/person, time: about 3 hours). The road conditions on this route are relatively poor and the time taken is about the same as the previous one. It is recommended to take the first option. Second, if you have money, you can fly to Tongren and then from Tongren to Fanjing.

Tips: 1. There are minibuses near Yuping Railway Station, or you can walk or take the Pupu bus (fare: 2 yuan/person, time: less than 10 minutes) to the bus station.

2. No matter where you take a taxi in Tongren city, as long as you don’t leave the city, it will cost you 3 yuan. There are no taxis in Jiangkou, only regular buses. 1 yuan/person to get on the bus.

3. The minibuses there only leave when they are full, so be patient. So if you want to save time, find a chair that fills quickly.

4. It is 10 kilometers from Fanjingshan Gate to the first step of climbing. If you are in good physical condition, you can walk or take the bus for 10 yuan/person.

5. It usually takes 3-4 hours to climb the 8,000 steps on Fan Jingshan Mountain, and about 2.5 hours to go down the mountain; those who are physically weak can take a bamboo sedan chair (known locally as a sliding pole). Price depends on their weight.

Accommodation: First, Yuping and Jiangkou are small counties, while Tongren is larger, and the cheapest accommodation is 5 yuan/bed. If you don’t know, you can find it yourself. Get off at Tongren. It is recommended to take the exit near Jinjiang River (across the city) from the bus station and walk to the left for less than 5 minutes. There is a police sister-in-law hostel where you can stay, which is relatively safe and the price is OK. A standard room for three people with shower, air conditioning and cable TV only costs 68 yuan.

Note that the entire room is not each bed.

Second, in Fanjing, you can live at the foot of the mountain or on the mountain (there is usually an inn for accommodation and meals every 1,000 steps on the mountain, usually 10 yuan/person. But it may be full on holidays). You can stay in a hotel or a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain. Farmstays generally cost 10 yuan per person, and you can also ask the host to cook home-cooked meals for you.

Thirdly, some local dishes are very salty but not too spicy. Snacks are very cheap, usually 1 yuan each. There is also a local food stall similar to hot pot, which is delicious.

The second stop of the donkey tour: the giant hall of Jiulong Cave is 350 meters long, 170 meters wide and 50 meters high. Tall stalactites are erected everywhere, some are like dragon's coiled beads, and some are like Buddha's tower forest. A huge jellyfish stone, formed by dripping water over thousands of years, is a masterpiece of stalactites. Especially when all the lights are extinguished, leaving only a blue light on the top of the cave, like the bright moon in the vast sky, you can truly feel the romance that can only be felt on a summer night.

Tickets: Tickets are 10 yuan/person. However, due to power consumption, the number of tourists must reach 10 before entering the cave. If less than 10 people want to enter the cave, they must spend 10 people's money, which is 100 yuan. There is also an entry fee of 2 yuan/person.

Tong: Take the Tongren-Yangtou shuttle bus at the Tongren Traffic Police Detachment Bus Station (fare: 5 yuan/person, time: about 40 minutes), and tell the driver to get off at Jiulongdong. Get off the bus and walk 100 meters to the right. Take the ferry to the other side of the river. Generally, it is 0.5 yuan/person, and when there are few people, it is 1 yuan/person. It takes less than an hour to go to Jiulong Cave on a mountain road, which is muddy on a rainy day. It is recommended to ride a bike up the mountain, which costs 10 yuan/person one way. The Huaiyu Railway (Huaihua-Chongqing) under construction will stop at Jiulongdong. I don’t know if it will be opened now.

Accommodation: Three hours of sightseeing in the Jiulong Cave Scenic Area is enough, and accommodation is generally not required. If you stay here, it should be similar to the foot of Fanjing Mountain. Donkey’s Third Stop: Phoenix’s introduction to Phoenix can be found everywhere on the Internet, so I won’t go into details here. Just tell everyone that you can catch the seedling collection in Jiangshan, Larshan and Alaying. These days are Jiangshan on the 3rd or 8th day of the lunar calendar, and Laba Mountain and Alaying on the 2nd or 7th day of the lunar calendar.

Take your pick. The fourth stop of the donkey tour: Dehang (Aizhai) The landscape of Dehang is a bit like Zhangjiajie. Light clouds and mist travel through the mountains and forests, making it a good place for hermits to practice. It is a challenge for backpackers on Pangu Peak.
