The mountain peak rises from the ground, with a vertical height difference of 100 meters. The upper part is divided into two parts, connected by a sky bridge. A temple is built on each side, one for Sakyamuni and the other for Maitreya. This proves the transition from modern Buddha (Sakyamuni) to future Buddha (Maitreya). In the morning, red clouds often surround the surrounding area, so it is called Red Cloud Golden Summit.

The most popular online landmark of Fanjing Mountain is definitely the Red Cloud Golden Summit. Although it is not the highest among the Golden Summits of Fanjing Mountain, its shape is the most peculiar: a strange peak emerges from the mountain at an altitude of 2,100 meters like a bamboo shoot, and the peak is divided into two parts. The two peaks each enshrine the two great Buddhas, Sakyamuni and Maitreya, and the two halls are connected by a sky bridge in the middle.
Hongyunjinding, with an altitude of 2,336 meters, rises from the ground, with a vertical height difference of nearly 100 meters. Its shape is very unique, the upper part is actually divided into two, separated from the middle, connected by a sky bridge, and there are temples built on it, and one temple is built on each side, one for Sakyamuni Buddha and the other for Maitreya Buddha.
Hongyun Jinding, also known as Xinjinding, is a strange stone that rises from the ground and stands alone on the top of the mountain. It is known as the "No. 1 Stone in Guizhou Mountain". Its vertical height difference is 100 meters. The upper part is divided into two parts, connected by a sky bridge. A temple is built on each side. One side is the Sakyamuni Hall for Sakyamuni Buddha, and the other side is the Maitreya Hall for Maitreya Buddha. This proves the transition from modern Buddha (Sakyamuni) to future Buddha (Maitreya Buddha). Because red clouds and auspicious air often surround it in the morning, it is called Hongyun Jinding.
Today, because of the strong wind, Hongyun Jinding, which is steeper than Lao Jinding, was temporarily closed, and I can only keep my regret.
Hongyun Jinding is the new golden summit of Fanjing Mountain. You need to climb to the top of the mountain.
My feet are sore after the hike, but it's worth it! It's so cool!
The Golden Summit of Fanjing Mountain is the highest peak in the Wuling Mountains. It is also called the Red Cloud Golden Summit because it is often surrounded by red clouds in the morning. The new Golden Summit is 2,336 meters above sea level, with a vertical height difference of 94 meters from the foot of the peak to the top. Looking at the Golden Summit from a distance, it looks like a steamer used by farmers to steam rice, and also like a huge exclamation mark rising high in the sea of clouds. It is extremely dangerous. To climb the Golden Summit, you need to climb up along the narrow stone steps carved out from the cliff on the right side, with the help of iron chains, and use your hands and feet to climb up. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss. The Golden Summit is the "scenery basin" of the cultural attractions and natural landscapes of Fanjing Mountain. It is of high quality and unique in the world.
The climb to the New Golden Summit is not difficult, except for a relatively dangerous section. From the top of the mountain, you can see all the other mountains!
It seems that you can't see its momentum, and the steep steps that seem to have no end, I climbed 10,000 steps unexpectedly! 10,000 steps! Climbing Hongyun Jinding is an irreplaceable and rare experience.
On the way to the old Golden Summit, I took a close-up of the new Golden Summit. The new Golden Summit is very majestic, like a thumbs-up, and although it is shrouded in clouds and mist and appears and disappears from time to time, it seems that people can climb up.
If you come to Fanjing Mountain and don't climb the Golden Summit, it's a waste of time. So I must climb it. I'm never afraid, I'm full of curiosity. I want to conquer it when I see it. Some people worry whether children are suitable for climbing the summit. I personally think that as long as the parents can take good care of them, there is absolutely no problem. I took a 6-year-old girl up and down smoothly. The ropeway on the mountain passage is full of love locks, and so many people's good wishes are left here. The stones and steps are wet. There is enough water in the mist. Be careful when walking, it's slippery!
The up and down stairs basically have enough space for one person, so after walking up for a while, there is a fork in the road to the Golden Summit. You go up on the right, reach the top and go around the left. The stairs in the first section are relatively easy to walk on, but looking at the mountain you can tell that the stairs behind are very steep, going straight up and down. You need to climb up from the right side along the narrow stone stairs carved out of the cliff, with the help of iron chains, and using your hands and feet. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.
Due to the weather, we really couldn't see anything, but we felt like we were in heaven instead of on earth. It felt like this view should only be in heaven, and it's rare to see it on earth. The fog suddenly dispersed, and we were lucky enough to see Cheng'en Temple at the foot of the mountain and the road we had walked before. But it was only for a few seconds, and everything in the distance was hidden in the fog again. Be more careful on the way down the mountain, it's a dangerous road, and the fog makes the ground more slippery.
After walking up a flight of stairs and about to reach the upper station of the cable car, I heard people from the crowd exclaiming, "The Golden Summit has come out." I looked in the direction of the voices and saw that the Red Cloud Golden Summit that we had climbed before had finally revealed its true appearance from the clouds. I quickly took a few photos. Some people were about to take photos, but before they could pose, the Golden Summit had hidden in the fog again. I don't know how long we have to wait for it to reveal its true appearance again.
I was unlucky when I went there. The Red Cloud and Golden Summit was covered by clouds and mist, and it was hazy. I could neither see the "red clouds" nor the "golden summit". To see the Red Cloud and Golden Summit requires the right time, place and people.
When we arrived at the foot of Hongyun Jinding, the Jinding was shrouded in fog and could not be seen at all. Following the signs: right up, left down, we climbed the iron rope and grabbed the rocks, using our hands and feet, kneeling and lying, and finally reached the top. The wind was howling at the top of the mountain, and our hats were almost blown away. At this time, the sky was clearing up a little, so we hurried down the mountain and waited at the foot of the mountain.
About half an hour later, the wind rose and the clouds dispersed, and the red clouds and golden peaks finally revealed their true appearance.
To measure the Red Cloud Golden Summit, you need not only your footsteps but more importantly a pious heart. The steps here are steep and the mountain road is narrow. Some sections only allow one person to pass through, and you can only go up but not down. There is a deep abyss next to you, so every step is dangerous.
For believers, this place is like a ladder to heaven. The almost vertical 90-degree ladder requires one to hold on to the iron chain and climb up, using both hands and feet, and finding oneself in the stumbling steps.
From a distance, the red cloud and golden roof look like a city in the sky. Compared with the ancient city of Civita di Bagno, Italy, this place is more peaceful and has a touch of fairy air.
The clouds soon dispersed, and the Red Cloud Golden Summit Mountain slowly appeared in front of us. Excited! Surprised! Shocked! So beautiful - Fanjing Mountain! Like a dream, like a fantasy, like a trance, we screamed with beauty! The beauty of Fanjing Mountain depends on luck. It may be presented in different ways for different people. Our hard work and our piety have given us the most beautiful reward! Thank you, Lord Buddha, for showing us the beauty of Fanjing Mountain in such a perfect way! Let us appreciate what a fairyland is!
There are two temples on the top of the mountain, one called Sakya Temple and the other called Maitreya Temple, connected by a sky bridge with the steep Jindao Gorge in between.
The place is shrouded in mist and looks like a fairyland, and the mountains are steep.
Transportation: I took the Tongren South-Tongren-Fanjing Mountain-Tongren-Tongren South high-speed rail. In fact, there is a bus directly to Fanjing Mountain in Tongren South. (Next to the high-speed rail station), maybe Fanjing Mountain has brought a large number of tourists to Tongren and is the main attraction, so there is a special line to Fanjing Mountain.
I was in Tongren City for a transfer, and I will talk about the transportation in Tongren City. It is very convenient to get from Tongren City to Tongren South. You can buy tickets at the Tongren City Tourist Bus Station, and there is a bus every half an hour. The journey takes one and a half hours.
You can't go directly to Fanjing Mountain from the bus station, you can only go to Jiangkou County or Yinjiang County (depending on whether you go up the mountain from Jiangkou or Yinjiang). I went to Jiangkou County.
Buy tickets at Jiangkou-Fanjingshan Station. That is where I got off at Jiangkou County Bus Station. You can buy tickets for the Fanjingshan bus. The journey takes half an hour (new route goes directly to Fanjingshan) or one hour (old route)
There are two more small points: you can tell the route by looking at the shape of the bus. The one shaped like a locomotive is the new route that goes directly to Fanjing Mountain, and the one shaped like an ordinary bus is the old route.
You can buy tickets for the cable car and sightseeing bus at Jiangkou Mountain, but the crowds are crowded here. There are a lot of people. I got up at 7 o'clock and exchanged tickets at 8 o'clock, and went up the mountain at 9 o'clock. When I came down at 12 o'clock, I saw that the cable car and sightseeing bus had long queues and were overcrowded.
The mountain in Yinjiang is very spacious, and you don't have to queue up to buy tickets. But you probably have to climb the mountain by yourself.
I borrowed a picture from the Internet to make up for the fact that I couldn't see the true appearance of Hongyunjinding clearly due to the fog. The vertical height difference of Hongyunjinding is 100 meters. The upper part is divided into two parts, connected by a sky bridge, with a temple built on each side, one for Sakyamuni Buddha and the other for Maitreya Buddha.
Going to Fanjing Mountain really depends on your luck. There are about 200 days of rain and fog in 365 days a year. You should check the weather forecast before departure, but the weather on the mountain changes rapidly, so luck is really important.
The road to Hongyunjinding is a little more difficult than that to Laojinding. (Those who are afraid of heights should consider this carefully.)
But looking back at the Old Jinding Mountain from the Hongyunjinding Road, the changing light and shadows appear to be Zen-like and beautiful.
On the way to Hongyunjinding, you can occasionally catch a glimpse of scriptures engraved on the cliff.
It seems that every blade of grass and every tree, whether flourishing or withering, here carries a sense of Zen.
I always think of Hongyunjinding, with the "Shakya Hall" on one side and the "Maitreya Hall" on the other. Is the bridge connecting the two peaks called "Naihe"? It takes away this life and goes to the next life. But I never thought that the "Buddha's Perspective" of Hongyunjinding is like the heart and lungs of Wuling Mountains, with the fragrance of Sanskrit and the clearness of green mountains, which is not like the mortal world.
Red Clouds and Golden Summit is the tourist attraction of Mount Fanjing. It is ethereal, looming, and unpredictable, as if covered with a veil that cannot be waved away or blown away, giving people a feeling of wanting to return home on a cloud.
Arriving at the Golden Summit, the thick fog obscured the view in front of us. It was all white, just like arriving in heaven. The air here is humid and the temperature is low. It is recommended that tourists of all ages wear an extra coat to prevent colds. As the saying goes, it is easy to climb up the mountain but difficult to climb down. It takes longer to get down from the Old Golden Summit than to climb up.
The upper part is divided into two parts, like a crack split by the gods, connected by an arch bridge in the middle. There is a temple built on each side, enshrining Sakyamuni Buddha and Maitreya Buddha respectively.
Looking at Hongyunjinding from the observation deck, it was like being in a fairyland. Hongyunjinding, surrounded by clouds and mist, stood mysteriously in the distance. Some people who were climbing to the top could be seen vaguely. I was sweating in my heart, muttering how to get up like this! There is a special trail from Laojinding to Hongyunjinding, which is almost flat, just right for you to slow down and save energy. When I first arrived at the Hongyunjinding climbing trail, I was still glad that this side was obviously slower than Laojinding, and it didn’t feel as steep as Laojinding. But as I walked, I found that it was too early to say the truth. This side was not only not slower than Laojinding, but there were many steps at almost 90° right angles. The brother who was wearing a raincoat and taking pictures of his companions, who was closest to the camera, was in a dilemma several times. I comforted and encouraged him all the way. Climbing up the Red Cloud Golden Summit by pulling the iron chain, you can see the arch bridge between the two peaks. Under the arch bridge is a deep abyss. Shuttle between the two sides of the arch bridge, it is like walking between two different worlds. Perhaps this is the most peculiar place of Fanjing Mountain. The way down the Red Cloud Golden Summit is actually going down around the cliff. Those who are a little timid will tremble. However, the sun came out during the descent, making the Golden Summit truly covered with gold, shining all the way.
The peak of Hongyun Jinding rises from the ground, with a vertical height difference of 100 meters. Climb up from the steep slope of nearly 80 degrees at the bottom of the mountain. The uphill slope is on the windward slope, and there has been strong winds. The way up the mountain requires hands and feet, holding on to the iron chains on both sides. The whole way is a steep slope, and I move forward carefully. It looks quite steep from top to bottom, and it feels easier to go up the mountain than to go down the mountain. Fortunately, I am not afraid of heights and will not panic. I climbed the mountain wearing a hat, and I had to carefully protect the hat. There is also a Guanyin Cave in the middle of the cliff, a stone house built in the air on the mountain, and below the stone house is a deep valley, where Guanyin is enshrined. In fact, you can avoid the wind here.
On sunny days with little wind, the terrain can be clearly seen from aerial photography. The view from a high altitude is very broad, and you can also see the old Jinding next to it.
It's a one-way road all the way, very thrilling, pay attention to safety, the scenery is good, it's worth the trip
The road to the Red Cloud Golden Summit is more dangerous than the Old Golden Summit. You can only go forward and not backward. If you want to go back, ask the people behind you first. You have to step over their vertical bodies clinging to the cliff. If you ask if I am scared, maybe a little bit. But after landing, I feel happy and affirm myself. Compared with the way to the top, the way down the Red Cloud Golden Summit is a bit scary, because when you look down the mountain, you can feel the steepness.
There were a lot of people climbing Hongyun Jinding, and we needed to queue up. During the climbing process, we understood why a warning sign was erected at the foot of Hongyun Jinding Mountain, reminding the elderly, people with high blood pressure, and heart disease not to choose to climb. Some of the stairs here are still very steep, and the safety facility is an iron chain, which is still a bit scary. Since only one person can walk on the stairs, it is necessary to queue up. Once there is a timid person who stops in the front team, the team will be longer. Fortunately, the journey was relatively smooth that day. The sky bridge on Hongyun Jinding is quite distinctive. A small bridge connects the two mountains, so look from the bottom up. Some places say that Fanjing Mountain is a Fanjing Mountain that was split into two and connected by a sky bridge, which shows the importance of the sky bridge in Fanjing Mountain.
It is very beautiful, the scenery is very good and the air quality is good.
Very strange, very good, very windy, you have to queue up to go up the mountain during the peak season
It's quite steep, but the vertical height is only 900 meters. It takes more than 20 minutes to reach the top, but you need to use your hands and feet. You can stay there for a while to feel how the temple above was built. I really want to give it a thumbs up.
The clouds on that day were beautiful https://imfw.cn/l/6687748
The overpass is very beautiful, with heavy fog, it seems like a dream or reality, it seems like a fairyland!!!
I have to give my two children a hundred thumbs up. They climbed the entire Fanjing Mountain by themselves. They ran faster than me. I was always worried that the road would be slippery when it rained~~~ I can only say that they were ignorant and fearless and could not see how steep it was under their feet~~
There is another golden top besides the golden top. It is very obvious. You can see it when you look up on the way up. The way up is very steep. You have to use your hands and feet. The mountain is naturally divided into two peaks. There is a bridge in the middle. There is a temple on each side, one for the past Buddha and the other for the future Buddha. The wind is very strong at the top of the mountain, and the view is very beautiful. The area is a bit small, and it may be inconvenient and dangerous if there are too many people going up and down.
The road to the top of Hongyunjinding is a bit steep. I climbed up using my hands and feet. It was not very tiring and very interesting. It is recommended to go to Laojinding first, from where you can see the beautiful Hongyunjinding.
Fanjing Mountain was the last stop of our trip to Guizhou. Although we were not able to enjoy various half-price discounts, the scenery of Fanjing Mountain still exceeded our expectations and was the most memorable experience of this trip. The sightseeing bus into the mountain was a Jinbei or Jinlong bus with only a dozen seats. My husband joked, "It seems that there are not many people in this scenic area, and such a small sightseeing bus." After we took the sightseeing bus into the mountain, my husband said, "It's such a dangerous road, it's a good thing we took this kind of bus!" Haha😄
We chose to take the round trip ropeway because we were taking our kids up and down the mountain. We really have to thank this 3,500-meter-long ropeway! The beauty of Fanjing Mountain is so dangerous! Strange! Steep! I won’t say much, just go to the pictures.
It takes 4 hours to climb 8,360 steps to the Golden Summit, which is 2,336 meters above sea level.
We first walked through the Old Golden Summit and then to the Red Cloud Golden Summit. The weather was great.
It is recommended that each climber bring four bottles of Red Bull, two bottles of Pulse, a piece of chocolate, and a bag of biscuits. No supplies are available along the way.
If you don't go to the Golden Summit, you haven't been to Mount Fanjing. Only when you climb the Golden Summit can you know how beautiful Mount Fanjing is.
The new Golden Summit is a stone arch bridge built over the Jindao Gorge, thousands of feet in the air, which is extremely spectacular.
I walked to the foot of Hongyun Jinding Mountain. It was windy and rainy. I hesitated for a long time and decided to go up! Along the cliffs, holding the iron chain, I climbed carefully step by step. The mountain road was almost vertical. Especially when passing through the middle crack called Jindao Gorge, the wind was particularly strong. There was a fear that if I didn't hold the iron chain, my body would be blown away by the wind. It was so exciting! Hongyun Jinding is a one-way loop. It took more than an hour to get back to the bottom of the mountain safely. At this moment, I am still very scared.
I heard from the mountain staff that if it is the thunderstorm season, the Red Cloud Golden Summit will be 200% closed for such rain. During the climb, I didn't dare to take out my camera to take pictures. On the Golden Summit, due to the strong wind, I just took a few random pictures. I didn't dare to take out my phone, in case the wind blew it down to the cliff, that would be the end.
Fanjing Mountain is the highest peak in Wuling Mountains. How can you not come here to test yourself when you come to Guizhou? The 10,000-step cloud ladder from 800 meters above sea level to the Golden Summit at 2,494 meters above sea level will definitely give you a different experience. This peak is famous for its endurance. It takes about 3.5 hours from 0 steps to 6,600 steps, and it will take another hour to continue to the more than 8,000 steps of the Golden Summit! Fanjing Mountain is waiting for you to challenge!
It's fun to climb up from the bottom. The scenery is really beautiful, especially after the fog, it's looming and the scenery is endless.
This is quite exciting, not recommended for people who are afraid of heights
It's OK. After all, walking up the mountain is not as spectacular as the old Jinding.
Hongyunjinding is 2336 meters above sea level, a little lower than Laojinding. From a distance, Hongyunjinding looks like a huge exclamation mark rising high in the sea of clouds, and also like a man's genitals, which is a very spectacular sight. Climbing Hongyunjinding is more difficult than climbing Laojinding. You need to climb up along the narrow stone steps carved out from the cliff on the right side, with the help of iron chains, and use your hands and feet to climb up. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.
Red clouds and golden top. It looks great from a distance. It looks like the LV logo😂😂
It's really steep... worth it
Fanjing is full of wind, and you can tell by looking at the red clouds and golden peaks surrounded by clouds and mist.
After climbing to the top of the Golden Summit, you can see the beautiful sea of clouds and Buddha's light.
The Golden Summit of Fanjing Mountain stands 100 meters high. The upper part is divided into two parts, connected by a sky bridge. There is a temple on each side, one for Sakyamuni Buddha and the other for Maitreya Buddha. Red clouds and auspicious air often surround it, so it is called the Red Cloud Golden Summit, which is a homonym for "Good Luck Golden Summit". It looks like a flying dragon, like the two-finger Zen of Buddha's hand, and more like a life totem of human beings. It is also called "the No. 1 Peak in the World" based on its shape.
As long as you are not afraid of heights, you must climb to the top, you will not be disappointed!
It looks very beautiful from a distance, and looks like a thumb standing tall from the side.
It was very difficult to climb up, but I still overcame my fear and felt extremely satisfied after finally climbing up. It was windy and cold at the top, and you need to use your hands and feet to climb to the top. It is recommended to wear appropriate equipment and take cold and slip-proof measures.
I went there during the Spring Festival. There were few people. The mountain was windy and foggy, and it was very desolate.
Steep mountains, fairyland-like artistic conception, misty clouds...
This may be the most popular landscape in Fanjing Mountain now. It is very beautiful from a distance, no matter from which angle. This mountain is difficult to climb. The steepness and ruggedness are beyond imagination. It is recommended to set aside 1 to 1.5 hours for sightseeing (light luggage, there is a place to store it at the foot of the mountain). But the scenery on the top is good, including the wide view. There are two platforms on the top, and the bridge between the platforms is called a sky bridge. In addition, the weather on the top of the mountain changes very quickly, so pay more attention
It's very beautiful, and the climb is a bit difficult, but when you reach the top you can see the Old Golden Summit opposite.
Hongyun Jinding, also known as the New Jinding, has a unique shape and beautiful steep scenery. It is worth a visit!
When we arrived at the temple below the Golden Summit, the wind was quite strong, but the mountain in front of us was even more eye-catching. This is the promotional picture of Fanjing Mountain.
The locals felt that we could reach the top from either side, but the right side was more difficult, the left side was easier, and the right side was more dangerous. I was afraid of heights, so I preferred to go from the left side, but a female man insisted on going to the right side, so I had no choice but to follow her for the sake of face.
Less than two minutes into the walk, it was dangerous. I didn't dare to look at the right side because there was a deep abyss below. I had to walk along the left side of the mountain wall. Most of the slopes were 75-90 degrees. Fortunately, there were iron chains to help us climb. When I took the cable car to Fanjing Mountain, I still felt a sense of fear. I was completely suffocated at this time. Anyway, I climbed up very seriously and basically didn't talk. The last photo was taken by our old revolutionary who drove the train. The whole process took nearly half an hour to climb. I was very careful. The person walking in front couldn't kick the gravel down, otherwise the head behind would bleed. But after reaching the top, the scenery was absolutely domineering, and there was a feeling of dominating the world. The weather was also great, but the only bad thing was that the wind was very strong. The female man liked to take selfies, with her hands spread out and her long hair fluttering. It was really beautiful, haha. There was also a professional cameraman on top, but he couldn't take pictures of us, and he had to charge a fee. It was depressing. Going down the mountain was even more terrifying, but the slope was bigger before going up, and it was much easier to walk. If I had to choose again in the first half an hour, I would choose the easier way. We met a few masters on the way up, who said they were going to repair the temple above. When we reached the bottom of the mountain, a group of people were also preparing to go up, and asked us which way to go. After we told them our feelings, they decisively chose to go up the mountain on the left. But in retrospect, many things are not that difficult to experience, and the same is true for life.
Fanjing Mountain has a unique climate. It was summer when we went there. The sun was shining brightly at the foot of the mountain, and there were clouds and mists on the mountain. We couldn't rush down the steps, but we could buy some wine from a merchant halfway up the mountain. We could have a drink to relieve our fatigue.
Hongyun Jinding is an isolated and abrupt stone peak 100 meters high in the south of Pudu Square. The top is always surrounded by clouds and mist, and purple air rises. Every sun, the clouds break through, the clouds are gorgeous, and the top of the mountain is golden, so it is called Hongyun Jinding. It is homophonic to "Hongyun Jinding". It looks like a flying dragon, like the two-finger Zen of Buddha's hand, and more like the life totem of human beings. According to its shape, it is also called "the first peak in the world".
Very steep.
One bridge connects two Buddhas. The upper part is divided into two parts, connected by a sky bridge. A temple is built on each side, one for Sakyamuni Buddha and the other for Maitreya Buddha. This confirms the transition from modern Buddha (Sakyamuni) to future Buddha (Maitreya Buddha).

The most beautiful scenery is on the dangerous peaks, the light on the mountain is very beautiful, but the road is also very difficult to walk on.
As long as you have the physical strength, both the new and old Golden Summits are worth a visit. Standing on the high point, you can see the entire surrounding area.
Very nice and beautiful. It takes a lot of strength and courage to climb up. It is very steep and challenging.
The legendary Red Cloud Golden Summit was unclear due to the fog, but when you got closer you could still see a face that looked half like Maitreya Buddha and half like Sakyamuni.
Legend has it that the new Golden Summit was originally a whole. Sakyamuni Buddha and Maitreya Buddha both took a fancy to the Golden Summit and went there to meditate and practice. The ancient Buddha Dipankara on the old Golden Summit saw this and split the peak with a golden knife. From then on, the peak was divided into two peaks, with Sakyamuni (Hall) on the left and Maitreya (Hall) on the right. According to the Buddhist saying of "Three Buddhas of the Past, Present and Future", Dipankara represents the past, Sakyamuni represents the present, and Maitreya represents the future. You can worship the three Buddhas by climbing the new and old Golden Summits.
Although the new Jinding is not as high as the old Jinding, it is steeper and requires both hands and feet to climb. The height to the top is about 100 meters, and there are two hilltops very close to each other on the top.
It is much steeper here than the old Jinding. It is recommended that children under 10 years old should not go up. There are different paths for going up and down, and only one person can pass. The way up is too steep. If you are afraid of heights, your feet will be weak. The way down is slightly wider, but it is not too easy to walk. It is recommended to go to the old Jinding first to build up courage, and then go to the new Jinding. The guardrails there are two pillars connected by an iron chain, which is shaky and difficult to hold. Once again witness the breadth of human beings. It is really great to develop such a scenic spot.
Climbing up Mount Fanjing and looking into the distance, one feels as if one's heart is as pure as water, as if one has been cleansed and purified. If one encounters clouds and mist at the Red Cloud Golden Summit, it is like entering a fairyland.
It is not easy to climb up to Hongyunjinding. It is a steep stone road carved along the cliff. People with acrophobia should never go up. Its difficulty is comparable to that of Tiandu Peak. It looks like a thumb from a distance.
On this day, we had just walked up the wooden path to the viewing platform, and before we could stand firmly, a thick fog came over! Lao Jinding was "half-covered" in the fog. I quickly raised my camera. If I had pressed the shutter a second later, there would be no such photo!
Standing on the Red Cloud Golden Summit, you can think of nothing or everything, at this moment you are completely free. On the stone wall, for the first time, a mark of having been here was left at the scenic spot.
The Golden Sword Gorge splits the Red Cloud Golden Summit into two halves from the top to the middle of the mountain, and the top of the gorge is connected by a flying bridge, which is extremely steep. The temples on the tops of the mountains on both sides enshrine Sakyamuni and Maitreya Buddha respectively.
There was a ladder leading up to a dark canyon wall, just wide enough for one person to pass through. Looking up, the dazzling light of the sky tore a hole in the boulder, just like a giant sword chopped it down, with one smooth stroke and no stumbling at all. How huge and powerful could this sword of heaven and earth be?
