The temple built on the high mountains of Guizhou has a history of thousands of years and is known as the "temple in the sky"

The extensive and profound Buddhist culture has been circulating in China for thousands of years and has influenced Chinese people's lives in many aspects, such as food, architecture, and music. And in the vast land of China, there is a Buddhist temple that is very unique.

Fanjing Mountain in Tongren City, Guizhou Province has been a famous Buddhist mountain since ancient times. Since the Ming Dynasty, it has attracted a large number of believers and has been prosperous. In modern times, it has become a famous tourist attraction with an endless stream of tourists. The Red Cloud Golden Summit and Mushroom Stone are even more representative attractions, attracting many people. Among the many scenic spots in Mount Fanjing, the two temples located on the top of Hongyun Golden Summit are very special.

Built at an altitude of 2,572 meters above sea level, the two peaks are connected by a stone bridge. It has been damaged twice and rebuilt twice, and it still stands despite the erosion of thousands of years of wind and rain. , this is the Fanjingshan Temple, a magical temple respected by people as the "Temple in the Sky".

When traveling to Fanjing Mountain, you will be surprised and sigh when you see the Fanjing Mountain Temple. It is simply a miracle how the temple was built at such a high place under the conditions a thousand years ago. Fanjingshan Temple straddles the two peaks of Hongyun Golden Summit. The temple is also divided into Sakyamuni Hall and Maitreya Hall. In the middle is the Jindao Gorge, a ten thousand feet deep gorge, which is as amazing as a knife chopping an axe.

For those who like adventure, climbing the Red Cloud Golden Summit is a very challenging thing. To reach the top requires perseverance and even more courage.

There is only a narrow 10,000-step ladder here, with iron chains as handrails. It is a steep cliff and requires both hands and feet to climb up. In some places, only one person is allowed to pass. Although the height is not as high as the old Golden Summit, it is still more difficult. It is comparable to the long sky plank road in Huashan.

For fans of Buddhist culture, Fanjingshan Temple must be visited because it has profound meaning. Sakyamuni Buddha is the present Buddha, and Maitreya Buddha is the future Buddha. The Ten Thousand Steps Ladder reaches the Sakyamuni Hall first, and then to the Maitreya Hall. This has the profound meaning of "only by grasping the present first can we better go to the future."

Regardless of the difficulty of the construction, the way to reach it, or the architectural meaning, among the countless temples in China, Fanjingshan Temple is a pilgrimage place worth visiting. Coupled with the transcendent temperament and elegant environment of Mount Fanjing, Mount Fanjing has become a must-see tourist destination for many people.
