What is the recommended route for a two-day tour in Fan Jing?

I've always wanted to write about Fan Jing, but I always feel that I started writing without adequate preparation, which is a bit profane to this "pure land of Fan Jing". However, in this most suitable mountaineering season, more and more friends are asking how to play Fan Jing, which is more worry-free, labor-saving and interesting. So today, I won't wait and give you this specific mountaineering strategy.

Let me show you a road map of Fan Jingshan first, and we will follow this map today.

Fan Jing mountaineering route

Because Fan Jing has two entrances, one is the Black Bay River in the southeast and the other is the Huguo Temple in the west (you can check it against the map). But here, we have a plan of three tourist routes. One is the south side starting from the Black Bay River, the other is the west line starting from Huguo Temple, and there is a merger route that does not go back.

Let's talk about how to play the three lines.

Mount Fanjing

Route 1

The southern line starts from the Black Bay River-the traditional route into the mountains.

The starting point for tourists to Fan Jingshan is basically the Black Bay River, which is also the regular route arrangement of tour groups. Don't look at the routine arrangement of this route, it actually has two ways to play.

The first game, we call it ten thousand steps to heaven. Slowly climb to the top along nearly 8000 stone steps. This trail is called "Ten Thousand Steps Ladder". This kind of play will be very interesting, but if you climb alone, it is difficult to rule out fatigue unless you have strong willpower. So if you have a partner to climb, this ten thousand-step ladder will become very interesting and challenging. If you climb to the top of the mountain, you will feel that "all other mountains look short under the sky." And a sense of conquest.

There will be sightseeing bus at the entrance of the Black Bay River for you to choose from, so if you plan to climb the ten thousand-step ladder on foot, it is strongly recommended to take the sightseeing bus to reach the zero-step ladder, so as to save some physical strength for the subsequent climbing.

The 8000 steps are steep and long, and it takes ordinary physical tourists four hours to walk the whole distance. But don't be afraid, if you have time, you will experience it slowly. There will be four or five rest platforms on the way, and there will be businesses selling snacks and water in the rest places, which can be used as energy supply stations.

The second way to play is to take a cable car, which is more suitable for tourists with old people or children. Although you can't feel the sense of accomplishment after getting tired step by step by taking the cable car, you can easily see the scenery of Fan Jing, which is also a very refreshing experience. What's more, hiking will really increase the burden of mountain climbing if there are old people or children accompanying you, so the cable car is the best choice.

You can also take the sightseeing bus at the entrance of the Black Bay River to reach the starting point of the cable car-Yu 'ao. You can get a panoramic view of Fan Jing in 20 minutes by cable car from Yuxiang, and then climb 6300 steps to reach Wanbao Rock. Climbing from Wanbao Rock only takes more than 20 minutes to reach the observation deck at the top of the mountain. Here, you can see the core landscapes of Fan Jing, such as Xinjinding, Mushroom Rock and Qianjuanyan.

The West Line from Huguo Temple —— the most labor-saving route

It can be said that it is much less difficult to climb the mountain in the west, because at the entrance of Huguo Temple, there is a direct scenic spot, sightseeing bus, and you can go directly to Mianxu Ridge by taking sightseeing bus.

Walking along the gentle ridge from Mianxu Ridge, the scenery is beautiful and the field of vision is very wide. Not only can you see the mountains and peaks, but you can also see the clouds. It is simply a fairy.

This is the arrangement of two routes, ending in Jinding. Jinding is divided into old and new Jinding, which are far apart. In fact, if you climb from the Yinjiang Trail, you will first pass through the landmark attractions such as Laojinding, Mushroom Rock and Qianshuyan, and finally arrive at Xinjinding along the sightseeing road.

I would like to remind everyone here that no matter whether it is the new Jinding or the old Jinding, you must pay attention to safety on the way up, because apart from being steep, the trail is very narrow, and some may only accommodate the soles of your feet. The area of the summit is not as big as expected. If you are not interested in Buddhism, it is estimated that you can come down in a few minutes.

Route 3

Huguo Temple goes up the mountain and Heiwan River goes down the mountain-there is no turning back.

If you want to visit every scenic spot in Fan Jing and don't want to go back, merge the first two routes. This is the most labor-saving and complete route.

Depart from Huguo Temple and return to Black Bay River. Because going up the mountain from Huguo Temple will not waste too much physical strength, it is much easier to go down the mountain along the ten thousand-step ladder than to climb it.

Of these three routes, if you have enough time and want to see all the sights of Fan Jing, then choose the third one.

If you just want to climb to the top of the mountain to see the whole scenery, then choose Huguo Temple on the west line, which saves time and effort.

If you have a strong curiosity about the ten thousand-step ladder and want to feel the exhaustion of your body and the sublimation of your soul, then choose to go up the mountain from the Black Bay River.

In short, look at your inner actual needs and make a choice.

Travel tips:

1. The road in Fan Jing is very complicated, so in the process of climbing the mountain, don't try to be brave and take risks, just follow the developed road honestly.

Fan Jing is rich in biological species, especially in summer, snakes and insects often appear. So you should always pay attention to hiking.

There have been cases in which monks used fortune telling to cheat money in temples on the mountain. I haven't experienced it, but I'd better be careful.

About tickets:

Scenic package 290 yuan/person, including tickets, round-trip ropeway and sightseeing bus; If you just want to buy a ticket, 1 10 yuan/person. Sightseeing bus costs one-way 10 yuan/person, ropeway and cable car costs one-way 160 yuan/person, and two-way 90 yuan/person.

board and lodging

Let's start with food. It's best to take snacks when climbing the mountain, because although there are water and snacks in the resting place on the mountain, they can only simply replenish energy. If you want to eat enough, you'd better take some biscuits and bread.

If you live, because the ecological environment of Fan Jingshan needs to be protected, static accommodation is arranged in the scenic spot, but the Wanbaoyan Hotel above Wanbaoyan is the only recognized residence in the scenic spot. But be prepared. The price here is very expensive and the facilities are relatively simple, but if you really want to see the sunrise, you must choose here.

If you don't want to watch the sunrise, it's easy to arrange. There are many hotels to choose from at the foot of Fan Jingshan, and the conditions are not bad, so it is not recommended here.

Traffic guide

Tourists from all over the country can easily reach Fan Jing's tourist transit places such as Guiyang, Tongren, Huaihua and Yuping by plane, high-speed rail and train. There are shuttle buses in all four places, or you can transfer at tongren city and jiangkou county and arrive at Fan Jing Scenic Area.
