Fangyan Scenic Area is the first batch of key scenic spots in Zhejiang Province and the fifth batch of national key scenic spots. It has the characteristics of peaks and dangers, grotesque rocks, grotesque caves, waterfalls and valleys, mainly including the first mountain in eastern Zhejiang and picturesque peaks and valleys. Fairy Rock in Lingshan Lake, Wufeng Academy, a scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhu Debate, Shiguliao Film and Television City, which has successfully filmed more than 30 therapeutic film and television dramas such as Dragon Eight Branches and Drunken Boxing, and Jiushigou Folk Culture Tour, where the Yellow Emperor once camped, smelt copper and cast a tripod.

Among the numerous Yongkang scenic tourism resources, Yan Fang is undoubtedly the best. She attracts tourists with its "three wonders": Danxia wonderland, human wonders and temple fairs.

First, Danxia Wonderland

Yongkang Yan Fang is one of the most developed and distinctive areas of Danxia landform in China. Fangyan Mountain is 400 meters high and Fiona Fang is about 3000 meters high. The flat ground is abrupt and the walls are cut. The area of the peak and the foot of the mountain is almost the same, and it looks like a towering square column, hence the name Fangyan. The mountains near Fangyan are steep cliffs, solitary peaks, squares or circles, and the peaks are steep. The color is red or purple, which is bright and full of weather. And majestic, often thousands or even tens of thousands of square meters of cliff stone surface, vertical and horizontal in the festive, overlapping folds, but also magnificent to an incredible extent. Coupled with grotesque caves, beautiful waterfalls and beautiful water, being in the Danxia peak forest really feels like a fairy. Yu Dafu, a famous writer in China, said in Yan Fang Ji Jing that in the past, when I looked at the strange peaks and rocks in Chinese paintings, I always thought they were the pinnacle. "Now that I have arrived in Yan Fang, I can see where the rock paintings of Nanzong and Beizong have not yet arrived."

Second, cultural wonders.

There are dozens of fangyan temples here, including Guangci Temple, a famous temple in eastern Zhejiang, which was built in the Tang Dynasty. The strangest thing is that these temples are almost invariably built in caves of all sizes, forming a unique cave temple group in China. Building a cliff as the top, that is, supporting wood in a hole, is extremely ingenious and often surprises tourists.

The strangest humanistic phenomenon in Yan Fang was first advocated by Gong Hu. On August 2 1, 65438, 0959, president Mao Zedong returned to Beijing from Lushan by special train, and met some county party secretaries via Jinhua. Mao Zedong said, "Isn't there a stone mountain in Yongkang? There is an emperor Gong Hu on Fangyan Mountain, whose incense is immortal and the most famous. " He also said, "Gong Hu is not a Buddha or a god, but a human being. He was an honest official in the Northern Song Dynasty. He did many good things for the people, and the people just remembered him. It is very important to be an official and benefit one party! " Mao Zedong analyzed the phenomenon of Gong Hu in historical materialism, but in people's minds, Gong Hu was the emperor who answered all wishes and prayers, the patron saint of the people and the god of happiness. Gong Hu's followers spread all over central, eastern and southern Zhejiang, affecting neighboring provinces and cities, such as Anhui, Jiangxi and Fujian. He is one of the biggest local tyrants in Jiangnan.

Third, the strange customs of temple fairs.

Fangyan Temple Fair originated from offering sacrifices to Gong Hu and has a history of 1000 years. Different from ordinary temple fairs, Fangyan temple fair has a large scale and a wide range, involving more than half of Zhejiang Province. Second, it takes a long time, from the first day of the eighth lunar month to the middle of September, lasting about one and a half months; Third, it hardly contains any economic behavior. It is purely a series of folk arts and sports conferences and folk customs. During the temple fair, people in Yongkang and surrounding counties and cities formed a "Luohan class" with the village as the unit, and performed in Fangyan as scheduled. Some punch and dance sticks and practice eighteen kinds of martial arts; Some people sing and dance while playing. This is a folk entertainment and fitness activity that follows the habit. Many excellent programs such as Eighteen Butterflies and Nine Lions have gone abroad and become world-class folk art treasures.

The rocks with these "three wonders" are really worth visiting! Imagine watching colorful temple fairs and customs in the dreamlike Danxia fairyland; In the eternal incense, in front of Wufeng Academy in Li Zexin, what a pleasant and elegant spiritual enjoyment it is to think about ancient love! Travel to Yongkang and eat snacks such as Yongkang meat wheat cake and tofu flower; There are star-rated hotels such as Pearl Hotel, Yongkang Hotel, Zhendong Hotel, Tao Tao Hotel, Wufeng Hotel and Fangyan Mountain Villa. Buying China Science and Technology Hardware City, the largest hardware shopping paradise in China, will make you linger and return home with a full load.

It is true that a few villagers at the foot of Fangyan Mountain were driven by economic interests in the past few years, and there were some phenomena of forced selling, hawking, bullying the city and deceiving customers, which seriously damaged the reputation of Fangyan Scenic Area. Since the Yongkang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government adjusted the leadership team of the Tourism Bureau this year, the new leadership team has firmly established a strong sense of responsibility of "serving as an official, rejuvenating one party and protecting one party", jointly implemented comprehensive renovation of scenic spots with public security, industry and commerce departments, and adopted a number of measures to strengthen management, creating a safe, civilized and orderly tourism environment and reversing the situation of many complaints from tourists. Therefore, the tourism environment of Fangyan is not what it used to be, and the economic, social and environmental benefits of Fangyan have been greatly improved. Fangyan will provide all-round and high-quality services for every tourist to eat, live, travel, buy and entertain, and make them happy and satisfied.

In order to meet tourists' psychological needs of "seeking novelty, seeking knowledge, enjoying pleasure and seeking change", expand the capacity of rock tourism and reshape the image of Fangyan, we have made great efforts in planning and formulated the development ideas of Fangyan in the next few years: First, strengthen the main body (Fangyan Mountain and Nanyan Scenic Area), expand the space and enrich the themes of the two wings of Yan Feng (Wufeng Scenic Area and Shiguliao Scenic Area). Second, the planning (or relocation, or demolition) of two villages at the foot of another rocky mountain will be gradually implemented, and the disadvantages of the villages being too close to the scenic spot will be solved. We believe that through our unremitting efforts, a brand-new square rock will be presented to tourists.
